California, Washington, Oregon, New York and other liberal bastions (primarily large cities therein) are losing population and revenue daily. Why? People who voted time and again to raise taxes recognize they can no longer afford to live in the environments they created. They can not continue to provide free health care and other social services to drug addicts and illegal aliens.
Other people, who want more acceptable uses for their income extortion taxes are filling moving vans headed for more user friendly points as well. Rather than frustrating themselves fighting the idiots by engaging in the lengthy process of changing the laws in their home states, they are moving to places where people express more sanity. Conservatives who can no longer stand abusive and ineffectual government intrusion are forced by common sense to move from these areas.
The big problem is that when liberals relocate they take their mindset with them. People who infiltrate our country by crossing our borders when nobody’s looking tend to maintain allegiance to their home countries. Likewise, the liberals fleeing their self-created situations continue to vote the same way in their new homes. They are leaving the third world environments they created only to change their new habitats into like situations. They’re liberals, therefore, they will do it right this time.
The socialism they’ve been trained to think they want is what they keep getting in small doses. They don’t care for it once they see the negative impact it has on them directly and they run from it. After years of public education followed, in many cases, by four years listening to more Marxist professors instill the virtues of Marxist/socialism and communism, it is hard to begin thinking and seeing for themselves for the first time. Once out of the public and ivy league indoctrination camps, they are fed more of the same Marxist propaganda through the constant bombardment of cable and online disinformation. They refuse to watch, read or otherwise expose themselves to facts or competing information.
It is unnatural to awaken from a deep sleep and immediately open ones eyes to sun light. It hurts! One has to adjust slowly. It is necessary to close ones eyes again or look away, glancing back briefly, turning away again then glancing again until the light (or the truth) can be seen with clarity. It is then accepted. Just as the eyes have to adjust and adapt to a bright light, the mind has to overcome decades of instilled indoctrination. It is not a rapid transformation.
Meanwhile, the Red states of the country, being invaded by Marxist trained know-naughts, begin to deteriorate. Democrat induced inverse gentrification begins to destroy otherwise serene suburban areas.
One current example to drive businesses and wealthy people (the tax base) away in a big hurry, is a bill by Reform California. Reform California proposed AB 2088 (aka prop 15). If passed, the bill would assess an income and wealth tax on businesses, individuals and families deemed “wealthy” for 10 years after leaving the state.

If this assembly bill becomes law, there will be an exodus from California of sane people, with or without wealth, knowing they will be next. Wealthy liberals will also flee as soon as their eyes adjust to the reality of what they’ve done to themselves and their neighbors. California will soon be known as the home of the homeless and the illegal alien surfers.
