In my opinion, this is one of those ideas that was planted by the left to get us all arguing. It seems true and invokes fear, but I personally have never run into someone who fled a blue state for a red state and then continued voting blue.

However, I have met a lot of people in my neighborhood - new housing development in central AZ, an area known for conservative values - who apologize for being from the west coast blue states and profess their gratitude for being in a sane community. There have been a few lefties among the neighbors, and one by one they sell their houses and move back. My guess is they had no idea they would be surrounded by conservatives, don’t like it, and return to their people.

AZ has been turning bluer over the years, but that is because the PHX area is becoming a tech hub with lots of young software engineers moving in from elsewhere. Fraudulent elections help too.
