So, the OP wants the dumbest, poorest, fattest states to unite. The states with the least innovation, art, music (but the most Dollar General stores per capita). The states propped up with the most federal dollars per capita right now. Yep, that'll work.
Your arrogance is entertaining .......
however it wouldn't be 20 years before those clever folks in the states with the 'innovation, art and music ' would be begging for the opportunity to enter the states with all the Dollar Generals.
They are already doing that. Flocking to them in some cases. Ask anyone in Florida or Texas.
If this happened, first you'd see population start to decrease in the "Blue States of America" because of their love of abortions. Then crime in the street would see many of them taking each other out in the same way you see it happening in liberal cities already. Because they hate LE, and are perfectly fine with putting criminals back out on the street. Talk about an apocalyptic scene. Being the land of gimme, would bury them eventually; they wouldn't be able to sustain.
We already see a country where right is wrong and wrong is right.
And yep, this would lead to a migration out of the blue zone so quickly.
That being said, CA has indeed been tapped out. And we have a loser for a governor to seal the deal.
There was a reason people came to CA long before thy were going to TX or even FL.
A lot of snowbirds to FL over the decades, I know, because it was cheap. And warm. But even with that, it still trailed CA in so many ways. The fact that property in FL has been cheap up until relatively recent times will attest to that.
TX and FL have politics on their side. And cost of living overall too.
That is gradually changing though as even TX and FL are getting more expensive.
But the politics is the biggest part of it, because that impacts so many other avenues of life.
Considering that you can't throw a rock in CA without hitting someone from TX, or whose parents came from TX, I hope those who are part of the CA-TX migration are of the liberal sort who were seeking refuge, and everything else, here in CA, and are now returning. You can have 'em back.
And being that so many companies are relocating from CA to TX, something TX is puffing its chest out over. That could very well come back to bite you. Because with those companies, especially those from the Bay Area, will come a lot of liberals. Good luck. You'll be decades behind CA, but you'll get to experience what we've been experiencing out here for a long time. Compliments of the wretched liberal refuse from every corner of the country. With Texas well-represented out here.
CA was bombarded and eventually priced out by a lot of people from TX, in fact, and many other places, long before the reverse started happening. So enjoy the experience.
In the meantime, 69-70% of Californians voted to keep that clown in the governor's mansion, and considering the majority of Californians aren't even from here (MANY of them, again, from TX), it leads me to ask, what in the hell has the rest of the country been sending us, and when are they going back?
We used to be a state where it was possible to get a Republican as governor. Not anymore.
