The Great Conservative Migration
By John Green
The results of the 2020 census are in, and the Democrats are looking very nervous. It turns out that red states are growing and blue states are shrinking. Red States are gaining three congressional seats while blue states are losing three. In fact, California will lose a seat for the first time ever. Legislative and Electoral College power is shifting in favor of the Republicans.
But the propaganda ministry is trying to convince us that this is all good news for the crime family that calls itself the Democrats. The narrative is that liberals are moving from blue states to red states and will eventually turn them blue. But as we’ve learned, if the talking heads are talking, they’re most likely lying. So, let’s examine what they’re saying.
My home state of Idaho is a perfect example of the migration. It has experienced a 17% growth in its population over the past 10 years -- the second highest in the nation (Utah was first). For most of the decade, the growth rate hovered around 1.5% annually. However, in 2020 the rate spiked to 2.9% -- almost twice the normal rate. Does it have anything to do with California being nearby? Maybe rampant homelessness, spiking crime rates, and oppressive COVID restrictions weren’t that popular with Californians after all. It seems locking the state down didn’t work any better for California than it did for Cuba -- though an escape from Newsomstan is a bit safer than giving the one-finger goodbye to the Castros.
A look at Idaho’s growth data reveals that California was indeed the big culprit -- but not alone. Based on 2018 migration data from the census bureau:
26.3% came from California. If Nevada were a body of water, we’d have had a boat-people crisis.
18.7% came from Washington state.
8.3% came from Utah. It must be due to Romney embarrassment.
5.9% came from Oregon. Even legal cannabis didn’t convince people that Antifa is mostly peaceful.
5.2% came from Texas. Texas is also growing and it’s starting to burst at the seams.
