While listening to this report, I thought, "to each is own. Your life, do what you will." But when the Texas realtor used the words "refugees" and "trauma", the words "ignorant" and "bullsh**" came to mind. Calling themselves refugees is absolutely ludicrous, clueless, and completely out of touch with what's going on outside of the America.

It’s awful what’s happening to the country. When I was a kid, I remember my grandparents next door neighbors had Ford signs on their lawn and my grandparents had Carter signs on theirs. They both flew American flags from the front porches and in the mornings it was “hi Dave” and “hi Joe” and at night it was “How was your day” and “firing up the grill this weekend so why don’t you come by with the kids” It’s a real shame what’s happened

Maybe politics shouldn't rule every aspect of your life.

Real story: Two REALTORS saw an opportunity to make money profiting off of politics. The more people who move the more money they make in commissions. They have a big incentive to push this idea of moving states to Republicans in Democrat states. This news story is a great way to get free advertising for themselves & their business.
-
I'm sure Washington is glad to get rid of them.
-
"Help people relocate somewhere redder"? More like somewhere whiter.
-
People don't want the truth, they want to be told they're right...
-
Saying "Americans are relocating" when the average American can't afford a $500 emergency is wild. Americans are relocating alright, from homes to tents.
-
Who was President during the lockdown?
-
So basically, liberal areas are becoming more liberal, and conservative areas are becoming more conservative? Pretty much the same situation as politics in general.

Born in Seattle lived there 51 years and sold my home in Bellevue and moved to Northern Nevada,was looking at Idaho but I have family there and visited many times,i refuse to pay property taxes for the insanity of King County.
-
Got that right. I'm a SF Bay area native, moved to and lived in Idaho for 4 years and was glad to move back to California. The small minded and petty politics up there were too much for me. California has lots of problems, but we are wide open down here on how to solve them, and everybody works on it together, no matter what your background. Everyone's included. A bowl of clam chowder never looked so good when I got back.

Thankfully, I'm moving back to New England next month. Florida is the most hateful state I have ever lived in. I am sorry I came here. It isn't just politics, mortgage went up, car insurance went up, property taxes went up, and home insurance skyrocketed. Can no longer afford to live in Florida. At least, in New Hampshire, I found an affordable home and I can afford the bills. Not to mention NH is not a hateful state to live in. People are actually nice and welcoming, no political BS gets in the way.
-
It makes sense to me why they decided to move. They don't like anyone who doesn't look like them or share their beliefs.
-
I moved offshore 10 yrs ago. I return to U.S. maybe once a yr for business purposes. Here where I live now people are more interested in their lives than anything else. Just being happy. I have been watching this yr out of curiosity, but am basically disgusted with how people conduct themselves in U.S. It makes corrupt countries look decent by comparison
-
Yeah, right! The Conservatives who uphold "Family Value" LOVE Donald Trump, a guy who had to pay hush money to an adult film star. LOL!
-
This is the most ridiculous sh*t I ever heard. I'll be damned if politics are going to determine where I live ANYWHERE in the United States of America. It's still a freakin' free country. Gotta wonder what people who do this sort of thing are really afraid of - maybe finding out not everybody thinks like they do?
-
Hope they do well, but Idaho & all of the red states can have them. Maybe in the future we can get some common sense stuff done without having to pander to the minority.
-
Have you ever encountered a critically- thinking conservative or at least one who had some empathy? Neither have I.

I know of a woman from Texas who moved to Washington state in large part because of the abortion ban. According to her, she got pregnant after being RA'd, she chose (key word, chose) to keep her baby resulting in the birth of her daughter but a couple years later, Roe v. Wade was overturned and Texas implemented a near total abortion ban. She chose to leave Texas so that her daughter won't have her choices taken away from her should what happened to her also happen to her daughter as well.
