This is exactly the problem. People are literally fleeing from California and Oregon (Portland is losing population badly right now). And why? Because policies in those states are antithetical to good government, good schools, good society. So give those people credit for undertanding their predicament and taking positive action by moving to a more rational place to live. But what those same people can't seem to wrap their brick heads around is their liberal ideas are what made Oregon and California so unlivable in the first place. They move to Arizona, Utah, Nevada, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Texas, Florida, et al and sure enough don't have the self-awareness to shed their stupidity. They look awfully danged liberal to the natives in those states, and vote that way. Rinse and repeat. A terrible outcome for the people in those other states who want to keep things rational.
