Leftugees The Great Sorting

There is indeed

a natural “sorting.” Again, it is very scary to see people move–one worries that these people are just looking for a new nest to befoul. As a citizen of a strongly Republican state, I very much share that concern.

BUT…

There is some great news out of an analysis of new-to-Tennessee voters casting their first ballots after registering in Tennessee – they are voting overwhelmingly Republican. In this study, first time voters from California are casting more than three times as many Republican ballots as they are Democrat ballots.

These folks are, on the whole, NOT Lefty evangelists but beleaguered Leftugees. Florida got significantly more Conservative with an influx of people. TN seems to be seeing the same thing.

Maybe it really is a kind of sorting. Moving is NOT easy, and only the most motivated will go that route. And there is the admonition they regularly hear to not make their new home the same Democrat hellhole they just left.

In a way, these refugees fleeing to red states are a little bit like the Cubans who escaped from Castro’s communism. They experienced first-hand just how destructive left-wing governance can be, and they have a passion to not let their new home states fall victim to the same political ruin that they fled.

Once a person has been forced to drink out of the bitter cup of Leftism, he is not eager to again stain his lips!

dang obvious why the Left hates Elon Musk!

Vote for the “dream team” of Trump, JD Vance, Tulsi Gabbard, and Elon Musk!

Basic Economics Leftugees The Great Sorting

There really IS

no contest!

But you know, for those of us in more conservative states, it is VERY scary! Still, pretty much it is conservatives who flee “blue” states and become “Leftugees,” not Leftists who move to become Marxist missionaries.

And we have seen that in the Florida demographics. Florida is solidly “red” now. There is indeed a “Great Sort” that is going on! People are voting with their feet, and voter fraud is simply not a tool Lefties have at their disposal in this contest. They can’t fake it.

One of the most important phenomena in contemporary America is the Great Sort–we are increasingly dividing into red and blue states, in part because of domestic migration. But that migration is basically a one-way street: people are fleeing blue states and moving to red states. Many, but not all, of these migrants are conservatives seeking a more congenial home. And of course there are liberals living in red states, but very few of them are picking up stakes and volunteering for higher taxes and more sluggish economies.

And the data are really quite clear: Leftism don’t work worth crap! THAT is why so many of my “Soft Lefty” friends insist on living in a conservative state! I mean, if Leftism is so awesome, why don’t they move to Portland, Oregon?

I think we ALL know the answer to that question… Everyone is conservative about what they know best! They may talk Lefty, but they will act conservatively…

I think it was Justice Brandeis who referred to the states as laboratories of democracy. Well, we have been carrying out a laboratory experiment in governance, and the results are in. Conservative policies work, and liberal policies don’t.

Conservative states have gained income through Leftugees: Lefty states have lost population and income–ALL to Conservative states. Now Lefties, don’t go a-hatin’ on me–I’m just telling you what the data are!

There is no reason to expect the Great Sort to abate any time soon. On the contrary, as time goes by the superiority of red state governance becomes ever more obvious. And the blue states that chase away their most productive citizens will only face worse and worse fiscal problems that will make it harder for them to compete.

Where does it all end? I don’t know, but one possibility is that the current balance in our national politics, where far-left and center-right forces are almost equal, may before long become obsolete. America may become definitively a center-right country, simply because that is where most people and most resources are located.
