I get it. Look at Zeldin's loss in NY . . . the great out-migration to Florida could not have helped him. That being said, the writing is on the wall for MI, NY, CA. You can only control the controllables. I just feel sorry for people who are multiple generations in, and leaving behind life-long ties.

Illinois! We are in Illinois! Ruled by The Fat Man, Jobba, J.elly B.elly The Prikzter. We've drained the land of the swamp but we can't flush the politicians from Chit'go.
I’m here with you in IL, after Bailey’s loss and knowing what’s coming as of Jan 2023, I’m looking across the border in IN. I’ve lived in my South Burb of Chicago my entire life but I just can’t continue with the high stress over local crime which I know will get worse. Recently a young man 15 mins away in another burb, was murdered in his driveway, shot 20 times by 2 masked men(kids?). I just know it will soon be in my beautiful little community. 😭 I’d like to live out my golden years with less stress and more joy.
Have an old roommate from Chicago suburb - the type of person who I could never envision leaving Chicago they loved it so much. Even this person wants out. Personally I think Florida should ban Pritzker and his family from entrance (kidding, sort of).
I am rural in Michigan but in a county with one automotive tie in, (foundries and auto parts manufacturing, long since gone), but the county remains divided. There are five generations of my family on this land, but I am seriously considering moving. The amendments passed on Tuesday will make Michigan the Mecca for abortions, our young parents will soon find they will have no health say over their own children, and none of the horror that is to come can a health care professional be held accountable. There will be no law suits because nothing will be upheld.
The new voting law means we will be Illinois, permanently, voting blue with no rights to question any election.
At least, your rural area is conservative, I hope? When we travel to northern Michigan, we love how much more conservative it appears to be at least from all the lawn signs we saw this past summer/fall.
I am so sorry. I visited Central MI U. in the Summer many years ago. I thought it was breathtakingly beautiful. Being from Texas, I couldn't believe the cool weather and those trees!
Yes we are 5th gen in WA state, relatives came after civil war and CA gold rush. We are leaving within 2 years. Hard but the world has always had migration. It is inevitable.
4th generation myself. Great grand parents immigrated from Norway at the turn of the last century. Thought my friends were a little wacky leaving in 2020. Now when I visit them I’m very jealous of their freedoms that got swiped from us in WA. Would be looking to exit stage right myself, but the offspring have decided to replicate so GrannyNanny needs to stay put. Drat!
Zerohedge I think had a letter from the CEO of Citadel about why he is relocating to FL e.g. he said it was not about taxes but clean streets, schools, safety etc

You are welcome in Texas! Our state motto could be, "we're not perfect but at least we don't have Beto!"

Rural and small town areas can still be ok BUT the violence from the blue areas is starting to spiral beyond into even these areas...

I am heartbroken!
Chicago has ruined the entire state I live in. When I couldn’t buy a meal there last year—I was done with it. Up theirs.

Our daughter graduated from northern Michigan university (we are Illinoisans—ugh ) It is so gorgeous there along Lake Superior.
Get out while you can.

Heartbreaking. I love WA state myself, and dream of spending summers in Anacortes. But I could never be a resident.

I believe we are not far from Balkanization! We definitely are not the United States anymore. I have given up on that!
Illinois is bleeding businesses big time. Many large mega corporations are leaving for other states. Chicago area headquarters of several/bye bye.
