Those blue hell holes seem like breeding grounds to me. They breed them then they spread like a disease. While Florida has benefitted by gaining more conservative folk due to either the red moving there or their existing blue flipping to red, Arizona has had an influx of blue from CA which is having an effect on us. I'm not sure, but it seems like TX has been in the same boat.

I'm a conservative who left California for Arizona and I will warrant that there are a lot more of us than Libs who left. I think people in red states need to stop blaming Californians and look how their young people (who have spent years in indoctrination camps known as public schools) are voting. I know that when they looked at the demographics of who voted for Beto in Texas, it was the young Texans, not the newly arrived Californians.

I will also note that the majority of my children's homeschooled friends also kept their parents' values. Those who spent any time in the public school system were less likely to maintain their parents' conservative values.

Exactly! WA state just wrote a new climate curriculum that they want pushed in all subject areas, that teaches students to ignore scientific data and make decisions based on their emotions.... I pulled my kids out in 2020, and they’ll never ho back. I wish moving were an option, but it is not...

Yes! Public schools have become indocrination camps. Who ever thought that in this once great, God loving country we would be scared to send our children to public schools. 😢

School choice is an essential concept to save publicly funded education.

That's good to hear, particularly from someone who has their finger on the pulse of red Californian's.
