You’re so fortunate! Hopefully you have a good portion of indigenous peoples there from the First Nation! Everyone hoards into Massachusetts for free housing, etc! The state has been overwhelmed for years. Rent is so high, it’s 97% of my income! I now hate my state! There’s so much red tape to do anything, it’s terrible. If I could, I’d leave the state, even better, I’d leave the country!
@@villaratanaphom-sg3hg I'm a Tennessee native,now living on the Gulf Coast.Glory be,I miss the sounds of our former family farm in Tennessee...chickens,dairy cows,beef cattle,the sounds of tractors and combines,the sweet smell of hay,etc.I don't regret moving,so my husband could spend time with his sister who was slowly dying,but I dang sure miss my Tennessee home.
It's amazing to me how they move to the country, then set immediately to work at making it like the city they left. As Nick said, they want to get onto school boards, etc. They will be around for all of a cup of coffee, and suddenly they are on the town council and then they are mayors.
TN used to be a favorite of mine for vacation. I WANT to hear the chickens, roosters cow bells and moos. I even enjoyed hearing the hound dogs. I loved the roadside mom and pop shops. Reminded me of the farms in WI when I was little. We went in July after a couple years break. It’s all camp grounds and RV dealerships. I don’t want to go there anymore.😕
Left the foothills of California for Texas 5 years ago. Every chance we get, we warn our fabulous new neighbors and community against the evil creep of "Californication" of Texas.
@coupledyetivonvanderburg5385 I have been hearing horrible things out of Colorado when it comes to gun control and the big cities adversely affecting the rural areas. The plan to release wolves to decrease animal populations rather than allowing hunters to help has to be the dumbest plan ever. And I am in California, where most of the dumbest plans come from. Don't copy California or listen to our idiot Governor.
Californians have ruined Nashville, Knoxville, and working very hard on Clarksville. They brought Cali with them, and now a lot of people I know are planning on leaving the state. I'm already looking.
@@xhaltsalutegive me a break. Obviously conservatives aren’t moving to your blue states. You all are so insanely brainwashed all the normal people have fled from them. Wake up, you’re looking ridiculous at this point.
I have lived in southern Arizona for 60+ years, and I am SICK of the "locusts" in our state. We used to be a strong "red" state, very conservative, until the mass exit of California into Arizona. My favorite bumper sticker said "Don't California my Arizona". Unfortunatly, it didn't work.
@@silaslizzie43I left AZ a couple years ago after the soft on crime policies and hyperinflation destroyed my home state. It just wasn’t what I grew up in. Best decision I’ve made was leaving.
I escaped NY for AZ. When I tell people where I’m originally from, I usually am quick to add “but I’m a refugee, not an evangelist.” I left to get away from all that - why on earth would I want to bring it with me to pollute my new home?
@@TheKlamminator I thought that part was evident in 2020 when they destroyed over a dozen different HVAC companies and claimed in the state of Arizona during the summary that HVAC is a nonessential service.
Became a refuge from Seattle in November of 2020, lived there for 25 years, and moved my family to rural Texas. God fearing, country loving, gun carrying brothers and sisters of Texas. They are like family I haven't seen in 40 years, and I should've moved here decades ago.
Sounds like how I grew up in Texas. What part of Texas are you in, if you don’t mind me asking? We’re stuck in the middle of DFW, but we’d like to move to a smaller town.
Is Puget Sound bad? I noticed you can get pretty decently priced large lots/homes out there...the state is no doubt blue though. That's the entire west coast though at this point...so unless you can relocate to the south, there are no options out here.
I have no problem with refugees from “blue” states. I have problems with missionaries from “blue” states that seek to flip the state to be like where they came from.
Met one of these missionaries who loves to tell me how oppressed I am. She misses New York so much but hasn’t been keeping up with her local news or the election. Told her she should go back anyway. Anyone not paying attention and votes blue no matter who doesn’t need to vote here 😂
I have a problem with the cost of housing that has doubled even tripled and locals are forced out of the market. Property taxes have risen, schools are overcrowded, traffic is so congested now. The slow paced lifestyle we once had is gone all because of the massive influx of the blue state in vasion
Originally moved from Australia 40 yrs ago. My mom was a US citizen. My dad joined the US military and we lived all over. I ended up in CA. Beautiful state but the only good thing left is the weather. Im now proudly in TN. Apart from Nashville, it’s a great place. My wife says I’m more patriotic than most US natives. I’m red to the core, and hope to be an asset. Like minded people tend to gravitate.
If it ever becomes the government against the people, you want to be in a state whose leadership will hold its ground against the federal government. You want to be in a state where everyone will be fighting together, not against each other.
Your State Government is NO better than the Federal one. A turd, is a turd. No matter WHAT perfume you spritz it with, nor the quality of cloth you dress it in
Congratulations you learned at 27 years what took me about 50 in NY. I finally got out moved to Florida not perfect but it is way better then living there. Good luck you know what you want and that is more then half the battle.
Don't waste any time my friend. I'm not that much older than you and moving to a red state was the best thing I've ever done. It's not easy to leave everything by behind, but it's a must before you waste too much of your life hoping for a change
It's not worth it. You will leave behind all you know to discover the new place has it's own crap to deal with. Virginia was a bad choice, unless you're in the church cult. If you don't church you will get shunned.
I'mma tell you something bud, even though people are saying Jersey is Blue, that's North Jersey and the Shore. I'm from South Jersey, and we absolutely hate the rest of Jersey, PA, and NY. For now, most of the US are staying strong and not letting Blue infect us because we absolutely hate what's going on in NY and we thank God our Governor didn't let the Illegal Parasites going into NY come into us. And that's coming from a Mexican that believes in the Wall and deporting anyone with their parents, siblings, partner, and kids if they commit a serious crime.
What if you believe that abortion is an evil, devilish act? The supreme Court has given it to the states. It is unlikely to change in the foreseeable future. So the only way to affect is to fight in those liberal states to amend the practice.
I can understand that....but have you ever heard the story of the boy throwing starfish back into the sea...? An older man stopped the boy and asked why he would bother. He could t make a difference. He couldnt save them all. The little boy threw back another starfish and answered ..." I'm making a difference to the ones I can save". Maybe...if you believe you should stay...you can make it a little better, where you are...
A couple moved in from the 'big city' next to my parents and proceeded to make themselves a stink in the nose of everyone around them. They spent years harassing literally every dog owner in the area, using county ordinances concerning barking to force every family with dogs to either get rid of them or keep them indoors. This in a 5+ acre per dwelling zone. After alienating every neighbor, to include calling the police to report being 'followed' by family members of a neighbor throughout town, they parked a derelict car at the entrance of their driveway to shelter a couple of cameras, then a second further in to watch the first. When a neighbor got a 4-wheeler for their kid, the couple complained to the county about the noise, then installed a camera to record the minor (!) driving around on their own property across the county road. Lately they harassed my parents about our chickens, leaving notes, even threatening phone calls. In the end they resorted to erecting 12' tall privacy screens around their property. If you can manage to avoid acting like a paranoid schizophrenic, ask how things are done where you end up rather than opining about how people did it back home, and NOT work tirelessly to alienate your neighbors, you'll typically fit in most anywhere.
Familiar story. We had a couple who moved in back where I used to live, and they immediately set to work changing everything to their liking. No idea if it ever worked for them - I moved first.
Sounds like something from the Investigation Discovery (ID network) show called Fear Thy Neighbor, this is unfortunately a common phenomenon and it often ends in someone getting hurt. Hope your family stays safe, don't underestimate the potential seriousness of the situation.
It's never a good idea to agro people who live near you. You never know when someone is just gonna snap and not deal with the harassment constructively today.
I wouldnt be in texas if i could afford to stay is cali where i was born and raised. Where my parents and grand parents were born and raised. I went where i could live with the least amount of sacrifice.
It also gets hard if you need to leave what you can't afford, but are staying to help family, have disabled people in it, and became one since the plandemic nurse didn't get care and now is disabled herself, and lost family, so doing it all solo.
You can steal firearms, buy from arms dealers themselves. Anyway 40-45% were self sufficient during the Og Great Depression. Now only 5%? Cannibalism is going to become RAD! 😋😋😋
I'm from California. I love the beautiful state. I thought I would never leave it. But in the last thirty five plus years it is become a nightmare. Newsome and his cronies have ruined it.
When my Governor Kathy Hochul said Republicans should “leave my state” I went and registered Republican the next day. I’m in my 70s and I refuse to go. I love this state a lot more than she does.
Born and raised in the southern tier. I agree that NY is beautiful. I now live on the beach in queens. I debate leaving every day. NY politics needs to represent us and never does. So I understand what you're saying.
@@Mikey-qe2iv Howdy neighbor, grew up in Cattaraugus county. Ellicottville, Olean, Allegheny.... God's country! NY Appalachia. Also lived in Buffalo & Rochester, moved away in '94... the snow, chases many away.... but after seeing what else there is, I want to go back. I prefer upstate NY, for all it's flaws. Hochul's comments only make me want to go back more, help turn NY red.
I gave up on Oregon. It was getting deeper blue and more insane every year. I saw it being over 20 years to turn it around. At 50 I want my last 1/4 of my life to be peaceful and not have to fight constantly to keep my business open , since being a rancher is openly opposed by the citizenry.
Washington too. What used to once be a slightly left leaning state with good gun laws and a quirky populace has become a gun owners hell and incredibly leftist. Seattle, Tacoma, Everett, Olympia, Bellingham, etc have all become havens for leftist extremists. Not the WA I knew as a kid, or even 10 years ago.
Imagine if all of the conservatives in states like California, Illinois, and New York moved to swing states. We would hold onto the presidency for at least a generation if not longer.
Imagine if those red states and swing states had conservative majorities in their legislatures and implemented a state electoral college to their states' constitutions. The urban center strangleholds would be broken, and they'd be red for generations.
Here in Texas may not be the place for you. We know through experience that good fences make good neighbors. We are friendly, but if you plan to "Improve" Texas with your "presence," feel free to keep moving. Don't bring your trash here. "Don't Mess with Texas!"
Western New Yorker here. I was born and raised here and this is my home. My family and my husband's family is here, our children and grandchildren are here. We are Christian and Conservative and we plan in staying and fighting for our home state. Where we are is mostly Christian and Conservative.
I love upstate NY. The people are wonderful. The weather, not so much except for maybe spring and fall. It’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve been.
Honestly the best you can hope for is for the state to split, having a upstate NY and the pan handle counties and city. As long as NYC is voting as a block democratic, you're screwed, your tax money and your vote always goes to help the democratic's no matter how you vote.
Hi neighbor! Same here in the mountains of NJ, western region and close to the ocean. Geographically I love it! A disabled nurse from not getting basic medical help during the plandemic I was working, and so it's hard to live financially, especially solo and not by choice...but yes, we are mostly conservative and christian! It's the small pockets and the big corruption, and the illegals, but.... anyway, my thoughts are: the devil you know is better than the devil you don't. Conservative states get lazy and complacent. Look at Iowa - conservative state, and the first to make gay marriage legal. So, yeah. And those conservative states are the most attacked. I truly think in my gut, that it's not gonna matter which state you're in! Bigger pictures, bigger darkens, and with the digitalization of life, that won't be state to state, that's a human warfare .This guy is great but not going deep enough.
Here’s the problem! NC has become overwhelmed, our cost of living has skyrocketed, our culture is being destroyed, infrastructure is overwhelmed, it is harder to get into a doctor or find a new doctor, and everywhere you go is crowded all the time and no matter the day of the week, including state parks. I never thought I would see the day that I would arrive at a state park only to be turned away because it’s full. Farmland is being bought up to throw up cheaply built homes that go for $400,000 minimum! Born and raised in NC and I hate to see my beautiful state being destroyed!
The analogy of the difference between the refugee and the locusts is spot on. And just as actual locusts, some states are experiencing a plague of them in their once conservative communities today. You hit the nail on the head with Colorado being a perfect example of the invasion of locusts. I pray for the people that have been invaded. Our whole country is in trouble.
That's happening here since alot of comics/podcasters and Elon Musk moved here in Texas. Every single big city is BLUE now and our state is about 50/50. It's horrible!!!
@kaykaymishka5548 I hate that for you and all your family and friends. The more I see this taking place, the more I pray that the Father will look to His right and say Son, go get your bride and bring them home.
Colorado here. There are a lot of old mining towns that haven’t changed much in 100 years, however in the last 10 years development and flooding of movers from cali and texas has put mansions along mountain ranges that used to be beautiful and untouched. Farm supply shops are now car washes. Greasy spoon joints are now coffee shops. My town devoted millions of dollars for a bicycle trail that will give you access to anywhere in town you’d like to go, and they still pedal on 60 mph highways. I don’t see any bears anymore because people are irresponsible with their trash so any bear found looting is shot and dumped. Trash and dog poop bags litter any trail you hike, no matter how remote. It’s gotten so bad any private points of interest have been fenced off. Highschool kids (presumably) have decided to start spray painting cliff faces and hangouts I would frequent in highschool. Even my most degenerate peers wouldn’t dream of spraypainting rock faces, because of the permanent nature of spraypainting sandstone or granite. The people moving here have very little respect for the place they are moving to, a place I call home. And the women specifically have no shame in treating locals like a relic of the past that hasn’t been thrown away yet.
Lifelong Californian. 62 years old. Joined the Republican party when I turned 18, left when the RNC stole Ron Paul's delegates in 2012. Been an independent conservative ever since. Now semi retired in NE California, in a small town of 15k. The county I'm in is 99.9% MAGA... and my county is surrounded by red counties with conservative sheriffs . Most folk here abhor Newsome and how the state has become a gerrymandered liberal cesspool. We all own guns, love God, would rather become part of Nevada or Idaho than simply leave. _We're not going anywhere._
If you dont get burned out you mean. That's the point of the fires. The condition that preceded them. To move you to Redding. My hats off to you. I live NorCal. But I'm moving to mountains of the east. No more dry western deserts for me. Good Luck❤❤❤❤
God bless you and God willing the democrats will screw CA up badly enough AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO IMPLEMENT ENOUGH ELECTION INTEGRITY MEASURES that you can begin to vote their asses out. For my part, I was born and raised in Kansas. Joined the Navy in 1980, which took me to Vallejo in 1993 and then to San Diego in 1994. The closest I got to your area was Eureka and the Redwood forests in 1993. Got married to a San Diego native and raised two boys there, lived and worked another 21 years after I retired from the Navy. We were looking for the exit door from CA when my dad in my Kansas hometown got ill. So in 2021 after 28 years in CA, we moved to my Smallville Kansas hometown and haven't looked back. Wife actually lived in Campo for some years before we met, so she's very much at home in small town and rural. We both had our fill of CA taxes, cost of living, and political insanity compounded by big city insanity, San Diego freeways and Selfish Idiotic Drivers. I thought sure after Gruesome's totalitarian COVID lockdowns, obvious corruption and obvious hypocrisy, he'd get recalled in 2021, and I was proud to vote to recall him just before we moved out. I can think of only one reason he survived. So I really hope you and all of you who are staying are fighting like hell for election integrity, or you'll NEVER dislodge the totalitarians currently ruling your state.
I wish I could as at that point in my life where there wasn't so much in the line for my family and I. I'm in my 30s with 2 young children. I don't have time to "fight" for California. It's not going to change anytime soon even if it does. I don't need my children living in a place that doesn't represent our family values and hope that it changes. Before I know it, my kids will be grown and the California influence will be hard to get out of them. I moved to Texas where the state respects my freedoms and reflects my values.
dont worry with all the leftists who are aborting there children and telling there men to get vasectomies like they did at the DNC, there wont be much of them left in a few generations and your future family will be thriving
I moved to ID from WA. Shit was getting violent around me and my family in WA and the government thought it appropriate to ban weapons and will absolutely throw you in jail if you use them in self defense. WA state is a shit show.
I moved out of Oregon, with no state tax, but Blue has destroyed it. I moved in 2023 to northwoods wisconson. Freezing winters, 1628 permanent residents heavily armed hunters. 1344 lakes. The winters guarantee no homeless camping out. I was born in NJ, raised NY, and lived in NC,VA, Cali, New Orleans, and Oregon. I investigated all states for living in a state with minor illegal numbers and minimal democrats in my area of choice. Its red, period. I live in a seriously harsh weather place takes courage and guts. The area gets all the Chicago rich in the summer, which is tolerated, but they don't stay. They do complain about the "red necks" running all the businesses, but locals just flip them off and tell them to leave. Lol. Thank God.
@@aconcernedcitizen5852I'm wondering how he's staying married to a liberal. Talk about being unequally yoked. Bible even warns against that. My son's were raised conservative and they went off to college and came home liberals. After the last 4 years we don't even discuss politics because it causes family arguments. My husband and I neither one are college graduates so having 2 sons that graduated college makes us proud but I clearly see they went off the rails when it comes to listening to anything we try and warn them of.
I left Colorado in 1990 for California to care for a sick mother. Back then Colorado was red and California blue. Several Californian's have moved to Colorado and now it's blue. My family they hates the freedoms that have been take away from them, especially considering they are ranchers. I'm still here in California (Oakland) voting conservative and trying my best to talk sense into these people. In 2016 when my clients found out I was voting for Trump they fired me. In 2020 I lost more clients. I'm struggling financially and cannot lose more clients..... I have to say that there are so many Trump supporters here now. I actually saw people selling Trump flags, hats and shirts on a street corner the other day. There may be hope for is here in California.
Lahaina here!! Don’t be gullible. Don’t educate yourself with anybody on RUclips. Most of them are asking you for money…or clicks. Don’t be a sucker….or …hey I have some blue umbrellas ☂️ for sale. Will keep you safe!!
It's a free country and Vermont is lost. I will do as I want. The Dirty South is looking great! USA! I would rather go south and protect it from liberalism and be part of a community that has morals.
Fled Oregon for Tennessee last year. It has been hard since I have no family here and I'm learning that even though Tennessee is a red state Nashville is a blue city. When my lease is up I want to move more towards the country. My main issue is getting enough courage to go adventuring, finding new hobbies and finding a man who shares my values I could share my life with.
May I suggest Knoxville area, much more conservative as TN cities go. Like most states, even red TN cities vote blue, there are just more of us red voters…how long that will last Idk. Nashville has been taken over by liberal Californians and Chicagoans, including Murfreesboro.
Good luck. Finding a mate seems so daunting. I have 2 sons .. neither married and the one would be an excellent provider but where to look? Bars?🤢. Thats not the place i want them to look. Church? So few young people in many of them. There are no social activities to meet and greet at. College? Doesnt guarantee a good common sense person. Not everyone is college bound or is it necessary. Internet? The horrors.
@@carolyn6001 I have the same issue with my daughters. My youngest has someone, but she isn’t a Christian whereas my older daughter is. My oldest daughter is a Christian and lives it, but it is pretty impossible finding a guy that doesn’t drink, vape, do recreational drugs, who also loves God, goes to church and isn’t pushing to sleep with her before marriage. She has two bachelors, a masters and her JD, and still single. It’s brutal out there for anyone with standards!
@@carolyn6001I really understand everything you said only being older is even worse!! Dating at 57 ? Wow. Are you kidding me and then WHO ? A bar ? No thanks. The internet- feels desperate so I don’t know where I meet the very very few men left that have the same values of my Dad. But on the other side is I’d rather be alone than stuck in something horrible. I’m a Believer and believe there’s someone for everyone but come on !!
I'm an east Tennessee native,born and raised.We moved to the Gulf Coast 4 years ago so my husband could spend time with his older sister,whose health was slowly eroding.I miss my native state but glory be,it has changed and not necessarily for the better.I'll fight for my home now,Mississippi.
Lots of transplants coming to middle TN and home prices have skyrocketed!! Buyers from CA buying multiple houses above asking price is painful for anyone local looking to upgrade because they're being priced out. And yes, please leave your politics in the state you left.
Home price inflation is not due to migration though, it's due to massive government deficits 2020 on...there is tons of land in TN and even in the remote areas where no Californians are moving and you can buy 5 acres and build your own new home, prices still up 30+% everywhere. Lockdowns were stupid, deficits are stupid. It's the government, not the citizens migrating.
Gun control is also an indicator. A state having strict gun control is an indicator that that state sees the relationship between government and people as one of master & serf.
I visited coastal Oregon a few years back. The mass migration from california to oregon and washington State was under 10 years old or so. I saw this locust migration and didnt have a term for it. People who moved from cali for the "idyllic" way of life in progress to share it... proceeding in arrogance to change the very things they claimed to like, pricing the locals out of buying homes and ruining the local businesses. The locusts at the time didnt see themselves as refugees...they were idealists, looking for a mother earth kind of life. It was head shaking then, but even more the last 4 years.
I can attest to Oregonians being priced out of homes. Portland and all it's ugliness has been expanding and the crime/drug problems have gotten worse. My mom who still lives in Oregon said that Oregon is trying to make drugs illegal again to try to gain some form of order again.
We live in Douglas county and it seems different like South of Eugene. Housing and everything is still super expensive, but the ppl don't subscribe to the leftist stuff so much, at least in my experience. We moved from Indiana in 2018 and I was nervous about the whole state being like Portland and was surprised
I moved out of Oregon in 2023. Had a 850sqft house. Sold it for 250k. Moved to northwoods Wisconsin and bought a 3000sqft 5acre forested home for 350k. Very red town, only 1,628 permanent residents. The winters are long and seriously harsh, but that keeps the homeless out.
It shouldn't surprise me, but a lot of these fires are intentionally set. When I read about the wildfires, this is often mentioned almost as an afterthought.
I grew up in So. Ca. When the east winds would start blowing, my mom would always say "The nuts will be out soon, burning down the hills." She was right too many times. Arsonists love hot dry winds after a good rainy season and lots of dry grass....
We moved from a blue state to a red state, and could not be happier! People are more kind and good, the state is run well, and we are able to grow and thrive in all aspects of our lives.
To a degree… in some states it isn’t worth it I would think. Like CA it is definitely worth fighting for weather-wise, but apparently the people don’t think so.
Amen! I am a political refugee from Los Angeles County. Moved to SE Idaho and am continuing to warn my new community of the “grand” ideas that I learned about decades ago that led to the “lovely” environment that is now Los Angeles. But I also am trying to assimilate to the rural community life and to preserve the local history!
I live in Illinois. Try to convince me that my vote is worth fighting for when I my county (DuPage) and the neighboring county (Cook) where most of Chicago resides are so corrupt and predominantly Left that no matter what I do things will not change in my life time. I voted for our most recent Republican governor and he couldn’t do a damn thing because of Madigan and his cronies, some of which were turn-coat Republicans, controlled this state. Pritzker hasn’t helped with his constant pandering to the Far Left as he competes with Newsom for the worst governor in history. I am done being taxed to 'death'. I am done with the corruption. If I am going to fight it will be for a state where my conservative vote will matter. My eyes are on Tennessee. And, no, I won’t bring my ‘ridiculous' politics with me. I will bring my all-American, country-loving, and fiercely patriotic politics with me. All the Tennesseans have to do is put up with my Chicagoan accent and stubborn Great Lakes attitude and we will be fine.
I feel sorry for anyone who lives outside of that hellhole they call Chicagoland in Illinois. They get taxed to hell and have zero say on how it's spent in Springfield. I live just across the border in Wisconsin and the communist in Madison and Milwaukee are trying to do the same thing here.
I’m in Fox Valley (Geneva,IL) and recently returned from Gatlinburg and Kingsport for a visit. I want out of here badly. Not much to my name but I’m willing to live in my truck if needed to start anew. Tennessee is awesome.
I regret staying in western Washington so long that my kids grew up here and are going to be raising my grandkids here. It has only gotten worse, and I can see the sick culture has subtly affected my kids, despite homeschooling and raising them in a Christian conservative home.
That's where my husband and I are at. We're in Western WA as well looking at both VA and SC to get away from the cancer of the left. But we've set so many roots in WA, it's painful to think about yanking them up and settling elsewhere. We homeschool and attend a good church, but I can see the wokeness seeping in everywhere.

Have been the past 4 years. Things are slowly slowly getting better But idk if I can wait. Really looking at Idaho
@@kevinpankanin6222 I hear ya! I'm in Portland, Oregon and feel incredibly isolated and alone in the insanity. I'm originally from Idaho but the Boise area is being destroyed by an influx of Californians and bad ideas.
My family's roots go back to Oregon Territory days in Western WA, and it has become so thoroughly corrupt and obnoxious to live here that I've become willing to abandon those roots to give my kid a chance to live somewhere that isn't deranged and mentally ill. There are still a lot of people here that fit in my 'tribe'. We're still here, enduring. I still haven't found a place to flee to that would be better than here in the long term; wokeness is a flood, and every sane area is now an island in danger of subversion.
I voted with my feet. I worked for 20 years to change/save CA. Campaigning, voter integrity..... It's lost to left and illegals. I voted in the elections. That didn't work. I voted with my feet, moving to a more conservative area. I spent years researching. PS the government started the paradise fire along with the rest of the fires.
A huge issue here in TN is that people from wealthy states have driven the cost up for homes to 3x what they were in 2019, 2020 and in some cases 2021. Tennessee has the least restrictions of any state for homesteading and so now the land has gone from $5000 per acre in Bradley County to $16,000 or more per acre and if you want to buy land in Sevierville, especially near Gatlinburg, expect to pay a minimum of $40,000+ an acre. I don’t care where you look East of Nashville the land prices are now out of reach for most Tennessean’s. If you are going to come here, please stop paying so much for raw land and homes, you are pricing those of us who are from here or have lived here for decades out of our own market!
The banks are in control of the inflation of land values. More specifically the Central Banks. And even more specific than that the Bank for International Settlements control the Central Banks. They know they are pricing people out and putting people in debt. It's on purpose. They are going to propose an idea to fix the system in the near future which will further enslave all of mankind.
We had the American dream in Southern Oregon and 10 years ago, I couldn't imagine living anywhere else. The then governor resigned and Kate Brown was installed and that started the end of our way of life. Taxes and ideology went crazy to the point that 5 years ago we sold our small ranch and moved to Texas. We live a life now, financially and with freedoms that we know that could not be possible in Oregon. Fun fact: even though I'm a registered Republican in Texas, I still get mail in ballots from Oregon.
I left Denver, CO for Lubbock, TX. It worked out. And trust me, I'm not bringing my politics with me. I will vote on NO new taxes, or any Legistlation for the "betterment" of Leftist/Liberal causes. Hard pass.
States need to start treating migrants like most countries treat migrants. Things like voting rights, land ownership, and holding public office need to be seriously restricted. The path into states for these locusts is the high tech industry. Oregon, Arizona, Idaho, Texas, Washington are all examples.
I lived in MD for 14 years . I was heavily involved in the 2A movement , especially the concealed carry laws.

@@sethmorgan0305 Eh. Don't let the buzzword ("buzzphrase", or "buzztitle" might be more accurate) fool you, open carry is legal here. Counties just have the power to regulate it, to my understanding.
I guess MD is better than NY and NJ. I do still feel odd seeing all of these people who aren't from here, and part of me wants them all to go away. I love my state though, greatest in the Union. Hope things are going well for you here, we aren't perfect (even if it was just us), but things have been made a lot worse by the influx of foreigners (this includes other states, and countries).
Two years ago, I finally got fed up enough either Seattle, that I moved back to Alaska. I have noticed that Anchorage, if not the entire state has gotten more Liberal than it used to be when we moved here in 1969. I have no problem with Californians coming to visit and spending their money here. Just PLEASE go home at the end of your stay. You’ve ruined your state, don’t ruin ours!
As a Tennesseean, I am tired of people moving here. They have driven the housing prices so high that the people who lived here for generations can't buy or find a house. There is a cultural difference in different states. Good thing we veterans never ran from a fight.
Me too, from Knoxville. I just saw a post where someone was told they couldn't wear a shirt with the words _"loves Jesus and America too"_ into a polling location in Franklin TN. Californians are destroying Nashville.
@AngelfromGenX that was a 1st amendment violation full stop. Unless there was a political candidate name on the shirt, that is a clear example of protected speech. That crossed the line.
Just let me ask you this... if you lived in California, would you stay there? The answer is almost always "well, no l wouldn't" 99% of the time I ask that question. I agree that people need to adapt to where they move, but you can't expect regular, common sense people to stay in terrible places like California. Your state must be doing something really well if everyone wants to be there. I moved to CA to Texas and it was the best thing I've ever done. But I will say, I've made a big effort for my family and I to adapt to Texas culture. And local Texans actually appreciate that.
@@NotInMyRepublica lot of states have weird election laws prohibiting shirts like this. Even in Texas, you can't wear a shirt with a political candidate on it at the polling stations. I think it's completely a 1st amendment violation, but a lot of states have rules like this. Completely BS, just wanted to point that out
I live in TN where people are flocking. They bring their big city money and make it impossible for locals to compete for homes and land. Nashville and Memphis are getting overrun with libs. On the other side, as an agricultural state, we are also getting many folks from South America. God help those of us caught in the middle.
rural TN is the place to be. i don't want to go anywhere else. but i *am* home -- the county i was born in, in the first town i remember, on land my grandfather bought. finding the right place to put down roots and *build something* can be tough, even here. best of luck.
As a conservative in California, I’ve slowly seen my city turn more and more, blue for lack of a better word. San Diego was the last Republican run big city left in California and it’s sad to see how it’s slowly getting ruined.
I live in a small-ish town 30k people, and there is a lot of, 'I love small town, but we need....' my response is , 'hey, it's all 15 min up the road, you should move up there.'
Exactly. I hear, but we need this (entertainment) and that. Got a transplant right now moaning on fb he cant get a liquor license right across from the courthouse to turn our old movie theater into a music/alcohol venue.
I grew up in a town with about 30k and it was considered more of a large town, known for its mall. There is a main state highway running through the town with several car dealerships and chain restaurants. To me, once a town gets over 20k it cannot even call itself a “smallish” town. I find it hard to believe a town that size lacks for anything
We are leaving Washington state! I give up!! I very much appreciate your view on tolerance! Also, FYI, Washington state has the wet side and the dry side. Washington is beautiful, but absolutely destroyed by California Locust!
Nick, I live in Tennessee. Rural areas will always be firing firearms! Not in town limits but in the county ! We grow up doing so! Most rural people are very well trained and accurate! Be glad they are your neighbor!
Born in Long Beach, CA & couldn’t wait to retire @68 and get out! CA had numerous chances to turn things around (two attempted impeachments of Newsome), but all failed. As an Uber conservative, it was not worth my health to stay. Waking up angry and being frustrated 24/7 was no way to live! Been in TN since 2020, love it and this is definitely home 🥰🇺🇸🙏🕊
Long Beach born and raised in the OC when it was truly the Golden State. I’ve been a South Carolinian since 1989 and will always consider this my home. I’m in the north west of the state and the beautiful forests are being scalped to build subpar housing for the thousands moving here. We are seeing pan handlers for the first time and of course, illegals. Housing prices have soared and gentrification has ruined any possibility of employing the adequate number of service workers.

You guys absolutely nailed it with the "This doesnt feel like home anymore.". I very much regret moving back to California. If i had the finances, id leave and never look back.
I’m from Connecticut and I loved living there. New England is God’s Country. But 40 years ago my first job out of college was in Dallas. I moved to Texas and never regretted that decision. Texas is home for me.
I moved to CT from NY and the NY locusts have overturned religious exemptions as they did in their state here in CT. I just want to live in a safe beautiful space and be left alone. I don’t think I’m staying here.
We to came from northern CA and fought the Communist take over of California for 30 years. In our late 60's now and we finally gave up the fight and escaped while we still could. We arrived in our new State several years ago, and don't want to get involved in politics. However, we are seeing the same left tactics showing in our very dark red state. People say the county should do this or the State should do that. We tell everyone. Don't give the county and State that power,
We lost our home in the Paradise fire and we moved to Nebraska as soon as we got our check. It was a god send. This is like heaven compared to California and the crime and drugs.
True... but if you can't fight and win,to save your children, you might have zero choice. In California, they can take your children away from you for woke ideology.

A big problem nobody wants to acknowledge is the Republicans in those states weren't really conservative. They voted red and looked for lower taxes without doing any homework into who was RINO or an actual Dem. that just switched parties. Need an example? Liz Cheney in Wyoming.. At least WY is moving towards freedom caucus since they are starting to see how the blue invasion happens quietly. Idaho is in trouble, I have no idea how Montana is going to turn out in the long run. Oregon was decimated 36 years ago. My rule of thumb is the harsher the winter the more natural protection you have but it's not enough to rely on. They really only need to get a couple populous counties and they're off to the races.
I moved here 7 years ago from PA and you couldn’t be anymore spot on! I was in a more conservative part of western PA (Westmoreland County) and the culture here in Colorado has gotten really weird since COVID and all the illegals coming in droves. Looking to move to Tennessee or Kentucky to get closer to family and flee the crazy liberals. The Wild West culture of Colorado is now only present in the eastern and western slope of the state.
Nashville was bad BEFORE the locusts showed up. Now not only do the roads not make sense, the people don't either. The rural areas are typically fine except for the college towns.
I was born in WA back when it wasn't unheard of to have a conservative governor. This is my home, my state, I was born here, I'll stay behind ememy lines doing what I can by voting and never giving up until I can't breathe anymore (because of old age, not a speedball).
My son and his wife recently left NY for Tennessee (our rural NY congressional district is red). It was an instant raise for him (no state income tax)...and no DMV (just go to the county clerk office to register your vehicle)...like-minded conservative folk...plastic grocery bags (lol)...he loves his new Red State home.
We are retired military in Upstate. Even though we are in a "Right to Farm Community," there are now proposals to stop people from even having backyard chickens. Too many people from the city want to live at the "country club" and not the country. I never felt an attachment to this state, it is just the only place where we bought a house. I want out. No way I can purchase 50 acres here for a nice family homestead/compound.
Born and raised Michigander and my husband is from Nevada (Filipino legal immigrant). We live in the west side of the state (closer you get to the lake, the more conservative it is, besides Saugatuck). We love our Great Lake state and our whole family and support system is here. We’re staying and fighting!
I was just commenting on how Detroit has twice the population of the entire UP 😅 I live just outside of Lansing. Mid-Michigan feels weird now. It wasn't like this 10-15 years ago.
My parents lived in Traverse City and Grand Rapids 10-15 years ago and loved it there. They also said the west side of the state was mostly right-leaning. I worry about Traverse City being a resort town. Leftist love to ruin resort towns
Same thing that happened to Colorado happened to Oregon and Washington over the past several decades (30+ years): Commiefornians moved in and changed everything in my beloved PNW. I don't recognize my home state and where I grew up...and it's happening in Idaho.
I'm in Colorado now and desperately want to get out with my family. I've tried to convince others as well but none of them agree with what I see. The state is controlled by Denver and backstopped by Pueblo. Colorado Springs is now nothing but apartments in every open patch of ground. This state is cooked.
New York is hopeless. Leave if you can. If you're conservative, go to Texas or Florida. If you're libertarian, go to New Hampshire. If you're leftist, leave New Hampshire and move to New York. You'll be happier.
Well as a Texan,ppl have moved here and claimed they had conservative values...maybe ppl in California would call them conservative, but they are liberal as heck. Our state is almost 50/50... we don't want anymore ppl coming here. Elon moved alot of liberals here. Joe Rogan and all his comic friends are liberal and they are moving here. Every big city is blue!!! Our state is closed !!! 😢😢
Stop telling ppl to move to Florida. Please. Tell them to go to Missouri it's cheaper and nice and conservative and beautiful weather mild winter and great cheap housing.

I dont see the people saying not to move to try and flip states trying to move to blue states to help the cause. I live in Illinois. I can’t wait to move out of here. The Assault Weapon Ban was the final straw
My husband and I left right after we got married 3 + change years ago. I was from the outskirts of Chicago, he was in a suburb. Said we absolutely could not raise children there, my childhood home was broken into 6 times and once while I was supposed to be home alone in high school. Just couldn't stomach the place anymore.
Nick, I live in Washington state. It used to be a quirky come as you are area on the west side and a very conservative farm community on the east side. Unfortunately the far left rules the state in king county. I would love to leave the state, but unfortunately I'm in the last ten years in my working career, still have a job with a pension. Retirement will definately be somewhere else.
My wife and I will be leaving California to move to Idaho in Q4 this year. We’re both from California but no longer have anything in common with the state government. We’re leaving the state for greener pasture and a community that is more in line with our values.
Hawaii is generational Democrats. Hawaii is also a very liberal state. So as a Christian Republican I’m just so so discouraged by the politics. I did my time trying to promote traditional family values and our basic freedoms. So much in fact that I burned out.
My favorite was when we got our property tax bill this year, and there was the "inflation multiplier" calculated in. Like what the heck is that even? Our taxes literally doubled from last year because of it.
I left Michigan 10 years ago and moved to Texas - Best thing I have done. Why? My vote NEVER mattered in Michgan. In Texas it does. Freedom is valued more than it is in Michgan. Tired of waking up early every morning in the winter to shovel snow so I could go to work.
I live in Washington State. If my husband would leave this shit hole state, we would be gone. This state is mini California and it is absolutely terrifying to live here. It’s not even a red or blue issue, it is a radical vs normal issue.
Do not come to North Texas, it is overrun. We have bussed and deported, but many cities, like mine are 50-60% FOREIGN BORN. MANY SANCTUARY CITIES, DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE.

Fellow Butte Couny folks! I'm staying here and fighting as long as I can. These foothills and woods are my home. I worked for BCSO during the Camp Fire and remember that time period well. I was driving to work in Chico when it kicked off and it's crazy how fast it spread. By the time I got to Chico from Biggs, the smoke was already covering down Skyway and the street lights were coming back on.
Is Butte/chico salvageable? Due to family, can’t really leave the state, but need to get away from the city. Was thinking of moving to a “Jefferson” county.
@@Uncannysius2023As a resident of Shasta County myself, I'm not convinced that any of them are. Perhaps Siskiyou or Del Norte, but Butte and Shasta are getting a little dicier each election cycle, and Tehama probably isn't far behind. And sadly, I'm someone who can't afford to leave, or else I'd be gone in a heartbeat.
@@Uncannysius2023 hard to say. Most of Butte is still more small town rural minded, but Chico is just so much bigger than every other town and the state is making it impossible for the localities to fix any issues, especially the homeless issue. I'd still say it's better than the Bay Area or any big metropolitan region.
@@jeffreywinters8060eh, I'm not convinced Butte actually went for Biden in 20 like they're saying. Chico, by far the left stronghold in Butte voted out their liberal city council in a big way. All the other towns kept their conservative incumbents and the county went majority for Congressman LaMalfa. The college students and a chunk of the staff were gone because of Covid. Now they're saying we went Red everywhere except for the President? I don't buy it.
I don't run from a fight. Here in the Seattle area, those of us with logic and deductive reasoning are seriously outnumbered, and I'm not backing down.
@@christinathompson9780 For English speaking countries, I've considered Ireland or Australia. I have my issues with both governments, but it's not like I love our government either.

We are in central IL, far removed from Chicago. The thing here is that theres a pretty stark divide between the northern part of the state and the southern part. The southern part is very conservative, full of small towns and farmers with conservative values. We are fortuante to live in a small community where the people and the schools align with our values, unlike further north in this state. I pay very close attention to what is taught and the policies within our schools and, so far, theyve remained conservative and refuse to be coerced into pushing certain agendas. Also fortunately, we live in a wealthy community who can afford to sustain the school system if the state withholds funds. We have no current plans to leave, but we monitor the temperature in our area and if things start to change here, we'll do what we need to. 😏 One benefit of living in IL is that it has one of the most lax homeschool laws of all the states. There are very few limits on homeschool currently, and you dont have to report to the state until high school. Of course, it would not surprise me at all if that changes in the near future.
Oklahoma is very lenient. It was built into our constitution because of the lack of schools. Everyone loves to shout truancy or school not actually being taught but with learning to take tests being the norm I would say how do public schools not neglect many more students. My own 60+ uncle didn’t know how to read when he left high school. The homeschoolers I know that had the least education, knew how to read. When you can read the sky is the limit on what you can learn. 😊

It's amazing to me how they move to the country, then set immediately to work at making it like the city they left. As Nick said, they want to get onto school boards, etc. They will be around for all of a cup of coffee, and suddenly they are on the town council and then they are mayors.
Chickens means your neighbors might barter for eggs or let you use shells if they don't refeed them. Why would that be a bad thing?

TN used to be a favorite of mine for vacation. I WANT to hear the chickens, roosters cow bells and moos. I even enjoyed hearing the hound dogs. I loved the roadside mom and pop shops. Reminded me of the farms in WI when I was little. We went in July after a couple years break. It’s all camp grounds and RV dealerships. I don’t want to go there anymore.😕

A couple moved in from the 'big city' next to my parents and proceeded to make themselves a stink in the nose of everyone around them. They spent years harassing literally every dog owner in the area, using county ordinances concerning barking to force every family with dogs to either get rid of them or keep them indoors. This in a 5+ acre per dwelling zone. After alienating every neighbor, to include calling the police to report being 'followed' by family members of a neighbor throughout town, they parked a derelict car at the entrance of their driveway to shelter a couple of cameras, then a second further in to watch the first. When a neighbor got a 4-wheeler for their kid, the couple complained to the county about the noise, then installed a camera to record the minor (!) driving around on their own property across the county road. Lately they harassed my parents about our chickens, leaving notes, even threatening phone calls. In the end they resorted to erecting 12' tall privacy screens around their property.
If you can manage to avoid acting like a paranoid schizophrenic, ask how things are done where you end up rather than opining about how people did it back home, and NOT work tirelessly to alienate your neighbors, you'll typically fit in most anywhere.
Familiar story. We had a couple who moved in back where I used to live, and they immediately set to work changing everything to their liking. No idea if it ever worked for them - I moved first.
Sounds like something from the Investigation Discovery (ID network) show called Fear Thy Neighbor, this is unfortunately a common phenomenon and it often ends in someone getting hurt. Hope your family stays safe, don't underestimate the potential seriousness of the situation.
It's never a good idea to agro people who live near you. You never know when someone is just gonna snap and not deal with the harassment constructively today.
Every neighborhood has one of these. We just get together and leave a message that helps them gain some perspective.
Be careful. Your neighbors may actually be schizophrenic. Sounds like it.
It gets hard if you literally can't afford to live to stay to fight. It's a bit more complicated than people want it to be.
I agree
I wouldnt be in texas if i could afford to stay is cali where i was born and raised. Where my parents and grand parents were born and raised. I went where i could live with the least amount of sacrifice.
It also gets hard if you need to leave what you can't afford, but are staying to help family, have disabled people in it, and became one since the plandemic nurse didn't get care and now is disabled herself, and lost family, so doing it all solo.

I gave up on Oregon. It was getting deeper blue and more insane every year. I saw it being over 20 years to turn it around. At 50 I want my last 1/4 of my life to be peaceful and not have to fight constantly to keep my business open , since being a rancher is openly opposed by the citizenry.
I'm sorry for the good people of Oregon that have to deal with the far leftists.
Washington too. What used to once be a slightly left leaning state with good gun laws and a quirky populace has become a gun owners hell and incredibly leftist. Seattle, Tacoma, Everett, Olympia, Bellingham, etc have all become havens for leftist extremists. Not the WA I knew as a kid, or even 10 years ago.
Portland Oregon is in the toilet due to liberals. However, smaller towns are wonderful there.
Imagine if all of the conservatives in states like California, Illinois, and New York moved to swing states. We would hold onto the presidency for at least a generation if not longer.
Better yet, imagine if they just fing voted. Again Chicago had a pop of 5 million, and only 80k voted. The same is true across the board
If representation was based on the # of American citizens in an area the Republicans would already win for decades.
What good does that do when someone as immoral, unethical with no integrity like dt is elected?
Imagine if those red states and swing states had conservative majorities in their legislatures and implemented a state electoral college to their states' constitutions. The urban center strangleholds would be broken, and they'd be red for generations.

Western New Yorker here. I was born and raised here and this is my home. My family and my husband's family is here, our children and grandchildren are here. We are Christian and Conservative and we plan in staying and fighting for our home state. Where we are is mostly Christian and Conservative.
I love upstate NY. The people are wonderful. The weather, not so much except for maybe spring and fall. It’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve been.
Honestly the best you can hope for is for the state to split, having a upstate NY and the pan handle counties and city. As long as NYC is voting as a block democratic, you're screwed, your tax money and your vote always goes to help the democratic's no matter how you vote.
Truth, sadly. Our votes have never counted since Ive been voting, and i dont believe they ever will.
Hi neighbor! Same here in the mountains of NJ, western region and close to the ocean. Geographically I love it! A disabled nurse from not getting basic medical help during the plandemic I was working, and so it's hard to live financially, especially solo and not by choice...but yes, we are mostly conservative and christian! It's the small pockets and the big corruption, and the illegals, but.... anyway, my thoughts are: the devil you know is better than the devil you don't. Conservative states get lazy and complacent. Look at Iowa - conservative state, and the first to make gay marriage legal. So, yeah. And those conservative states are the most attacked. I truly think in my gut, that it's not gonna matter which state you're in! Bigger pictures, bigger darkens, and with the digitalization of life, that won't be state to state, that's a human warfare .This guy is great but not going deep enough.
Here’s the problem! NC has become overwhelmed, our cost of living has skyrocketed, our culture is being destroyed, infrastructure is overwhelmed, it is harder to get into a doctor or find a new doctor, and everywhere you go is crowded all the time and no matter the day of the week, including state parks. I never thought I would see the day that I would arrive at a state park only to be turned away because it’s full. Farmland is being bought up to throw up cheaply built homes that go for $400,000 minimum! Born and raised in NC and I hate to see my beautiful state being destroyed!

The analogy of the difference between the refugee and the locusts is spot on.
And just as actual locusts, some states are experiencing a plague of them in their once conservative communities today.
You hit the nail on the head with Colorado being a perfect example of the invasion of locusts. I pray for the people that have been invaded.
Our whole country is in trouble.

Colorado here. There are a lot of old mining towns that haven’t changed much in 100 years, however in the last 10 years development and flooding of movers from cali and texas has put mansions along mountain ranges that used to be beautiful and untouched. Farm supply shops are now car washes. Greasy spoon joints are now coffee shops. My town devoted millions of dollars for a bicycle trail that will give you access to anywhere in town you’d like to go, and they still pedal on 60 mph highways. I don’t see any bears anymore because people are irresponsible with their trash so any bear found looting is shot and dumped. Trash and dog poop bags litter any trail you hike, no matter how remote. It’s gotten so bad any private points of interest have been fenced off. Highschool kids (presumably) have decided to start spray painting cliff faces and hangouts I would frequent in highschool. Even my most degenerate peers wouldn’t dream of spraypainting rock faces, because of the permanent nature of spraypainting sandstone or granite. The people moving here have very little respect for the place they are moving to, a place I call home. And the women specifically have no shame in treating locals like a relic of the past that hasn’t been thrown away yet.
Lifelong Californian. 62 years old. Joined the Republican party when I turned 18, left when the RNC stole Ron Paul's delegates in 2012. Been an independent conservative ever since. Now semi retired in NE California, in a small town of 15k. The county I'm in is 99.9% MAGA... and my county is surrounded by red counties with conservative sheriffs . Most folk here abhor Newsome and how the state has become a gerrymandered liberal cesspool. We all own guns, love God, would rather become part of Nevada or Idaho than simply leave.

If you dont get burned out you mean. That's the point of the fires. The condition that preceded them. To move you to Redding. My hats off to you. I live NorCal. But I'm moving to mountains of the east. No more dry western deserts for me. Good Luck❤❤❤❤
God bless you and God willing the democrats will screw CA up badly enough AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO IMPLEMENT ENOUGH ELECTION INTEGRITY MEASURES that you can begin to vote their asses out.
For my part, I was born and raised in Kansas. Joined the Navy in 1980, which took me to Vallejo in 1993 and then to San Diego in 1994.
The closest I got to your area was Eureka and the Redwood forests in 1993.
Got married to a San Diego native and raised two boys there, lived and worked another 21 years after I retired from the Navy. We were looking for the exit door from CA when my dad in my Kansas hometown got ill. So in 2021 after 28 years in CA, we moved to my Smallville Kansas hometown and haven't looked back. Wife actually lived in Campo for some years before we met, so she's very much at home in small town and rural. We both had our fill of CA taxes, cost of living, and political insanity compounded by big city insanity, San Diego freeways and Selfish Idiotic Drivers.
I thought sure after Gruesome's totalitarian COVID lockdowns, obvious corruption and obvious hypocrisy, he'd get recalled in 2021, and I was proud to vote to recall him just before we moved out. I can think of only one reason he survived. So I really hope you and all of you who are staying are fighting like hell for election integrity, or you'll NEVER dislodge the totalitarians currently ruling your state.
I wish I could as at that point in my life where there wasn't so much in the line for my family and I. I'm in my 30s with 2 young children. I don't have time to "fight" for California. It's not going to change anytime soon even if it does. I don't need my children living in a place that doesn't represent our family values and hope that it changes. Before I know it, my kids will be grown and the California influence will be hard to get out of them. I moved to Texas where the state respects my freedoms and reflects my values.
dont worry with all the leftists who are aborting there children and telling there men to get vasectomies like they did at the DNC, there wont be much of them left in a few generations and your future family will be thriving
CA is going to be destroyed! If you want to live, you need to leave! I did, after living there 45 years!

I moved out of Oregon, with no state tax, but Blue has destroyed it. I moved in 2023 to northwoods wisconson. Freezing winters, 1628 permanent residents heavily armed hunters. 1344 lakes. The winters guarantee no homeless camping out. I was born in NJ, raised NY, and lived in NC,VA, Cali, New Orleans, and Oregon. I investigated all states for living in a state with minor illegal numbers and minimal democrats in my area of choice. Its red, period. I live in a seriously harsh weather place takes courage and guts. The area gets all the Chicago rich in the summer, which is tolerated, but they don't stay. They do complain about the "red necks" running all the businesses, but locals just flip them off and tell them to leave. Lol. Thank God.
My wife and me home schooled our three sons. I don't think she liked the results because they are all conservatives. She's a Democrat.
Good they think for themselves. Our children are not supposed to parrot us, if you love freedom they can’t help but see that.
Lol - smart sons - being democrat is definately not what it was yrs ago.
Watch your marriage! she may try to cut and run when she sees she can’t get through to them… common tactics for liberal wives just saying brother!
@@aconcernedcitizen5852I'm wondering how he's staying married to a liberal. Talk about being unequally yoked. Bible even warns against that. My son's were raised conservative and they went off to college and came home liberals. After the last 4 years we don't even discuss politics because it causes family arguments. My husband and I neither one are college graduates so having 2 sons that graduated college makes us proud but I clearly see they went off the rails when it comes to listening to anything we try and warn them of.
If your kids are in college please guard them with your life. College changed my twin boys. My husband and I are both conservatives.
I left Colorado in 1990 for California to care for a sick mother. Back then Colorado was red and California blue.
Several Californian's have moved to Colorado and now it's blue. My family they hates the freedoms that have been take away from them, especially considering they are ranchers.
I'm still here in California (Oakland) voting conservative and trying my best to talk sense into these people.
In 2016 when my clients found out I was voting for Trump they fired me. In 2020 I lost more clients. I'm struggling financially and cannot lose more clients.....
I have to say that there are so many Trump supporters here now. I actually saw people selling Trump flags, hats and shirts on a street corner the other day. There may be hope for is here in California.

Fled Oregon for Tennessee last year. It has been hard since I have no family here and I'm learning that even though Tennessee is a red state Nashville is a blue city. When my lease is up I want to move more towards the country. My main issue is getting enough courage to go adventuring, finding new hobbies and finding a man who shares my values I could share my life with.
Go back to Oregon
May I suggest Knoxville area, much more conservative as TN cities go. Like most states, even red TN cities vote blue, there are just more of us red voters…how long that will last Idk. Nashville has been taken over by liberal Californians and Chicagoans, including Murfreesboro.
Good luck.
Finding a mate seems so daunting. I have 2 sons .. neither married and the one would be an excellent provider but where to look? Bars?🤢. Thats not the place i want them to look. Church? So few young people in many of them.

Lots of transplants coming to middle TN and home prices have skyrocketed!! Buyers from CA buying multiple houses above asking price is painful for anyone local looking to upgrade because they're being priced out. And yes, please leave your politics in the state you left.
Home price inflation is not due to migration though, it's due to massive government deficits 2020 on...there is tons of land in TN and even in the remote areas where no Californians are moving and you can buy 5 acres and build your own new home, prices still up 30+% everywhere. Lockdowns were stupid, deficits are stupid. It's the government, not the citizens migrating.
They are not transplants they are in vaders!! They have ruined the area where I live!!
@@thetaxgawdYes, it certainly is due to migration. I’m living it.

Gun control is also an indicator. A state having strict gun control is an indicator that that state sees the relationship between government and people as one of master & serf.
Worse then that in my opinion is duty to retreat state. No way would I live in a state that doesn’t have stand your ground
@@valerieleonard572 it's why I retired to TN rather than returning to NJ or NY.
I visited coastal Oregon a few years back. The mass migration from california to oregon and washington State was under 10 years old or so. I saw this locust migration and didnt have a term for it.
People who moved from cali for the "idyllic" way of life in progress to share it... proceeding in arrogance to change the very things they claimed to like, pricing the locals out of buying homes and ruining the local businesses. The locusts at the time didnt see themselves as refugees...they were idealists, looking for a mother earth kind of life. It was head shaking then, but even more the last 4 years.
It has ruined Oregon.
I can attest to Oregonians being priced out of homes. Portland and all it's ugliness has been expanding and the crime/drug problems have gotten worse. My mom who still lives in Oregon said that Oregon is trying to make drugs illegal again to try to gain some form of order again.
We live in Douglas county and it seems different like South of Eugene. Housing and everything is still super expensive, but the ppl don't subscribe to the leftist stuff so much, at least in my experience. We moved from Indiana in 2018 and I was nervous about the whole state being like Portland and was surprised
I moved out of Oregon in 2023. Had a 850sqft house. Sold it for 250k. Moved to northwoods Wisconsin and bought a 3000sqft 5acre forested home for 350k. Very red town, only 1,628 permanent residents. The winters are long and seriously harsh, but that keeps the homeless out.
It shouldn't surprise me, but a lot of these fires are intentionally set. When I read about the wildfires, this is often mentioned almost as an afterthought.
I grew up in So. Ca. When the east winds would start blowing, my mom would always say "The nuts will be out soon, burning down the hills." She was right too many times. Arsonists love hot dry winds after a good rainy season and lots of dry grass....
If you’re in Massachusetts or California… they’re too far gone.
You can add in Ct.
Washington state, too.😢
And then theres those of us living in generational homes that are stuck in states changed beyond recognition.
Or you can sell the houses and move
We moved from a blue state to a red state, and could not be happier! People are more kind and good, the state is run well, and we are able to grow and thrive in all aspects of our lives.
Maybe what we should be asking is not when should we leave, but when should we put our feet down and get active in the government?
Right question
Absolutely
To a degree… in some states it isn’t worth it I would think. Like CA it is definitely worth fighting for weather-wise, but apparently the people don’t think so.
And how to do it. Nick talks about a playbook to get involved from the ground up. Where do I start if I want to get involved

I live in Illinois. Try to convince me that my vote is worth fighting for when I my county (DuPage) and the neighboring county (Cook) where most of Chicago resides are so corrupt and predominantly Left that no matter what I do things will not change in my life time. I voted for our most recent Republican governor and he couldn’t do a damn thing because of Madigan and his cronies, some of which were turn-coat Republicans, controlled this state. Pritzker hasn’t helped with his constant pandering to the Far Left as he competes with Newsom for the worst governor in history. I am done being taxed to 'death'. I am done with the corruption. If I am going to fight it will be for a state where my conservative vote will matter. My eyes are on Tennessee. And, no, I won’t bring my ‘ridiculous' politics with me. I will bring my all-American, country-loving, and fiercely patriotic politics with me. All the Tennesseans have to do is put up with my Chicagoan accent and stubborn Great Lakes attitude and we will be fine.
I feel sorry for anyone who lives outside of that hellhole they call Chicagoland in Illinois. They get taxed to hell and have zero say on how it's spent in Springfield. I live just across the border in Wisconsin and the communist in Madison and Milwaukee are trying to do the same thing here.

A huge issue here in TN is that people from wealthy states have driven the cost up for homes to 3x what they were in 2019, 2020 and in some cases 2021. Tennessee has the least restrictions of any state for homesteading and so now the land has gone from $5000 per acre in Bradley County to $16,000 or more per acre and if you want to buy land in Sevierville, especially near Gatlinburg, expect to pay a minimum of $40,000+ an acre. I don’t care where you look East of Nashville the land prices are now out of reach for most Tennessean’s. If you are going to come here, please stop paying so much for raw land and homes, you are pricing those of us who are from here or have lived here for decades out of our own market!
The banks are in control of the inflation of land values. More specifically the Central Banks. And even more specific than that the Bank for International Settlements control the Central Banks. They know they are pricing people out and putting people in debt. It's on purpose. They are going to propose an idea to fix the system in the near future which will further enslave all of mankind.
We had the American dream in Southern Oregon and 10 years ago, I couldn't imagine living anywhere else. The then governor resigned and Kate Brown was installed and that started the end of our way of life. Taxes and ideology went crazy to the point that 5 years ago we sold our small ranch and moved to Texas. We live a life now, financially and with freedoms that we know that could not be possible in Oregon. Fun fact: even though I'm a registered Republican in Texas, I still get mail in ballots from Oregon.

Me too, from Knoxville. I just saw a post where someone was told they couldn't wear a shirt with the words _"loves Jesus and America too"_ into a polling location in Franklin TN. Californians are destroying Nashville.
@AngelfromGenX that was a 1st amendment violation full stop. Unless there was a political candidate name on the shirt, that is a clear example of protected speech. That crossed the line.
Just let me ask you this... if you lived in California, would you stay there? The answer is almost always "well, no l wouldn't" 99% of the time I ask that question. I agree that people need to adapt to where they move, but you can't expect regular, common sense people to stay in terrible places like California. Your state must be doing something really well if everyone wants to be there. I moved to CA to Texas and it was the best thing I've ever done. But I will say, I've made a big effort for my family and I to adapt to Texas culture. And local Texans actually appreciate that.
@@NotInMyRepublica lot of states have weird election laws prohibiting shirts like this. Even in Texas, you can't wear a shirt with a political candidate on it at the polling stations.

I live in TN where people are flocking. They bring their big city money and make it impossible for locals to compete for homes and land. Nashville and Memphis are getting overrun with libs.

When Chicago moved to our suburb,the crime rate went up and we hear sirens frequently. Our city turned blue. Time to move.

Exactly. I hear, but we need this (entertainment) and that. Got a transplant right now moaning on fb he cant get a liquor license right across from the courthouse to turn our old movie theater into a music/alcohol venue.
I grew up in a town with about 30k and it was considered more of a large town, known for its mall. There is a main state highway running through the town with several car dealerships and chain restaurants. To me, once a town gets over 20k it cannot even call itself a “smallish” town. I find it hard to believe a town that size lacks for anything

As an Uber conservative, it was not worth my health to stay. Waking up angry and being frustrated 24/7 was no way to live! Been in TN since 2020, love it and this is definitely home 🥰🇺🇸🙏🕊
Long Beach born and raised in the OC when it was truly the Golden State.
I’ve been a South Carolinian since 1989 and will always consider this my home.
I’m in the north west of the state and the beautiful forests are being scalped to build subpar housing for the thousands moving here. We are seeing pan handlers for the first time and of course, illegals.
Housing prices have soared and gentrification has ruined any possibility of employing the adequate number of service workers.
The locals despise the Cali in vaders
@@annjames1837 not when you have the Right values and appreciate where you are. I’ve been welcomed with open arms, have a wonderful church family and love my rural, country living
We love all conservatives that move to our state wherever they come from. Welcome home!
You guys absolutely nailed it with the "This doesnt feel like home anymore.". I very much regret moving back to California. If i had the finances, id leave and never look back.
I’m from Connecticut and I loved living there. New England is God’s Country. But 40 years ago my first job out of college was in Dallas. I moved to Texas and never regretted that decision. Texas is home for me.
I moved to CT from NY and the NY locusts have overturned religious exemptions as they did in their state here in CT. I just want to live in a safe beautiful space and be left alone. I don’t think I’m staying here.
We to came from northern CA and fought the Communist take over of California for 30 years. In our late 60's now and we finally gave up the fight and escaped while we still could. We arrived in our new State several years ago, and don't want to get involved in politics. However, we are seeing the same left tactics showing in our very dark red state. People say the county should do this or the State should do that. We tell everyone. Don't give the county and State that power,
We lost our home in the Paradise fire and we moved to Nebraska as soon as we got our check. It was a god send. This is like heaven compared to California and the crime and drugs.
we are STILL on fire here....sick of crackhead arsonists I am planning to leave stare or country again. Is a nightmare here . Glad you are happy
If you don't like your states taxes, policy, politics do not bring them to texas
Wise men invest in precious metals such as brass, lead, copper, and steel...
Granulated Nitrocellulose is also a necessity. And primers.
"Evil is not overcome by fleeing from it. It will gather it's strength, and follow."
True... but if you can't fight and win,to save your children, you might have zero choice. In California, they can take your children away from you for woke ideology.
But we will have a larger army to fight back
So why are you not moving to California?
@@georgewhitworth9742 I don't go looking for trouble. It'll find me soon enough.
Local, state, and congressional elections are some of the most important elections that people need to get right.
I moved from Mississippi to northern Montana. I love it here. But I didn’t realize I couldn’t grow a garden up here. So I’m moving back south just so I can grow a garden again. I just don’t belong up north!🥶
Born and raised in Massachusetts, steadily working on repairing the place
ima bouta bail. Its disgusting what our "patriot state" has become
good luck. do have a bug-out plan, though.
@@syrusterrigan9366 two or three plans....unfortunately to get to "safe" areas, it requires going through RI, CT, NY and NJ or going north.... and I hate the cold LOL
@@firebpm4977 my apologies -- i didn't distinguish the id tags properly! thought you were the OP at first! lol
but if you're readying to leave anyway, you should be able to get through that Leftist Coastal Hive Zone with little trouble. and there are tons of good places you can go. i'd recommend picking a destination, as that's just as important a component as "i gotta get up outta here".
@@firebpm4977Me too. Salem is HORRIBLE
If conservatives keep leaving, blue just follows. Look at CO. Once great (back in the 90's and early 2000's), now the new CA.
Very sad. We're trying to fight!
A big problem nobody wants to acknowledge is the Republicans in those states weren't really conservative. They voted red and looked for lower taxes without doing any homework into who was RINO or an actual Dem. that just switched parties. Need an example? Liz Cheney in Wyoming.. At least WY is moving towards freedom caucus since they are starting to see how the blue invasion happens quietly. Idaho is in trouble, I have no idea how Montana is going to turn out in the long run. Oregon was decimated 36 years ago. My rule of thumb is the harsher the winter the more natural protection you have but it's not enough to rely on. They really only need to get a couple populous counties and they're off to the races.
I moved here 7 years ago from PA and you couldn’t be anymore spot on! I was in a more conservative part of western PA (Westmoreland County) and the culture here in Colorado has gotten really weird since COVID and all the illegals coming in droves. Looking to move to Tennessee or Kentucky to get closer to family and flee the crazy liberals. The Wild West culture of Colorado is now only present in the eastern and western slope of the state.
Finally.
Someone actually addressing this problem.
Nashville was bad BEFORE the locusts showed up. Now not only do the roads not make sense, the people don't either. The rural areas are typically fine except for the college towns.
I was born in WA back when it wasn't unheard of to have a conservative governor. This is my home, my state, I was born here, I'll stay behind ememy lines doing what I can by voting and never giving up until I can't breathe anymore (because of old age, not a speedball).
My son and his wife recently left NY for Tennessee (our rural NY congressional district is red). It was an instant raise for him (no state income tax)...and no DMV (just go to the county clerk office to register your vehicle)...like-minded conservative folk...plastic grocery bags (lol)...he loves his new Red State home.
Glad to have him! Welcome!
We are retired military in Upstate. Even though we are in a "Right to Farm Community," there are now proposals to stop people from even having backyard chickens. Too many people from the city want to live at the "country club" and not the country. I never felt an attachment to this state, it is just the only place where we bought a house. I want out. No way I can purchase 50 acres here for a nice family homestead/compound.
Born and raised Michigander and my husband is from Nevada (Filipino legal immigrant). We live in the west side of the state (closer you get to the lake, the more conservative it is, besides Saugatuck). We love our Great Lake state and our whole family and support system is here. We’re staying and fighting!
I was just commenting on how Detroit has twice the population of the entire UP 😅
I live just outside of Lansing. Mid-Michigan feels weird now. It wasn't like this 10-15 years ago.
My parents lived in Traverse City and Grand Rapids 10-15 years ago and loved it there. They also said the west side of the state was mostly right-leaning. I worry about Traverse City being a resort town. Leftist love to ruin resort towns
Same thing that happened to Colorado happened to Oregon and Washington over the past several decades (30+ years): Commiefornians moved in and changed everything in my beloved PNW. I don't recognize my home state and where I grew up...and it's happening in Idaho.
Yep, originally from Phoenix Arizona and have seen it happen there along with Oregon and Washington State.
I'm in Colorado now and desperately want to get out with my family. I've tried to convince others as well but none of them agree with what I see. The state is controlled by Denver and backstopped by Pueblo. Colorado Springs is now nothing but apartments in every open patch of ground. This state is cooked.
Tennessee is full.
like 3yrs ago
New York is hopeless. Leave if you can. If you're conservative, go to Texas or Florida. If you're libertarian, go to New Hampshire. If you're leftist, leave New Hampshire and move to New York. You'll be happier.
Well as a Texan,ppl have moved here and claimed they had conservative values...maybe ppl in California would call them conservative, but they are liberal as heck. Our state is almost 50/50... we don't want anymore ppl coming here. Elon moved alot of liberals here. Joe Rogan and all his comic friends are liberal and they are moving here. Every big city is blue!!! Our state is closed !!! 😢😢
Stop telling ppl to move to Florida. Please. Tell them to go to Missouri it's cheaper and nice and conservative and beautiful weather mild winter and great cheap housing.
@@kaykaymishka5548I agree I'm from Florida
NO!!! WE DO NOT NEED ANY MORE NEW YORKERS HERE IN FLORIDA!!! You might think you are conservative, but many new Yorkers I've met are anti Guns. Nope, you can leave if that's the case.
@kaykaymishka5548 I am born and raised Texas, and I've seen how much the state changed because of Rogan. Austin and surrounding is blue. It's insane.
Carnivore Texas Momma here!!! I knew yall were my kind-of people. My birthday's coming! Think I'll get a subscription to Good Ranchers for my bday! Thank you
It really is worth it. You are not spending more money. You are just supporting people that have the same values as you do
I dont see the people saying not to move to try and flip states trying to move to blue states to help the cause. I live in Illinois. I can’t wait to move out of here. The Assault Weapon Ban was the final straw
My husband and I left right after we got married 3 + change years ago. I was from the outskirts of Chicago, he was in a suburb. Said we absolutely could not raise children there, my childhood home was broken into 6 times and once while I was supposed to be home alone in high school. Just couldn't stomach the place anymore.
Nick, I live in Washington state. It used to be a quirky come as you are area on the west side and a very conservative farm community on the east side. Unfortunately the far left rules the state in king county. I would love to leave the state, but unfortunately I'm in the last ten years in my working career, still have a job with a pension. Retirement will definately be somewhere else.
My wife and I will be leaving California to move to Idaho in Q4 this year. We’re both from California but no longer have anything in common with the state government.
We’re leaving the state for greener pasture and a community that is more in line with our values.
I'm sorry for the locals of Idaho
Hawaii is generational Democrats. Hawaii is also a very liberal state. So as a Christian Republican I’m just so so discouraged by the politics. I did my time trying to promote traditional family values and our basic freedoms. So much in fact that I burned out.
My favorite was when we got our property tax bill this year, and there was the "inflation multiplier" calculated in. Like what the heck is that even? Our taxes literally doubled from last year because of it.
I left Michigan 10 years ago and moved to Texas - Best thing I have done. Why? My vote NEVER mattered in Michgan. In Texas it does. Freedom is valued more than it is in Michgan. Tired of waking up early every morning in the winter to shovel snow so I could go to work.
I live in Washington State. If my husband would leave this shit hole state, we would be gone. This state is mini California and it is absolutely terrifying to live here. It’s not even a red or blue issue, it is a radical vs normal issue.
All blue is radical. Some of them just haven't acknowledged it yet.
A lot of the people fleeing voted for the policies that wrecked their state.
Do not come to North Texas, it is overrun. We have bussed and deported, but many cities, like mine are 50-60% FOREIGN BORN.
MANY SANCTUARY CITIES, DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE.
I think I probably live in one of those cities being overrun, Frisco!
I freakin hate it, they can’t drive, speak English and are just flat out snobs and unfriendly! Did I mention all the traffic… ugh.
I am sick of my state in Illinois. Gov Pritzter is a person we cant seem to vote out.
Fellow Butte Couny folks! I'm staying here and fighting as long as I can. These foothills and woods are my home. I worked for BCSO during the Camp Fire and remember that time period well. I was driving to work in Chico when it kicked off and it's crazy how fast it spread. By the time I got to Chico from Biggs, the smoke was already covering down Skyway and the street lights were coming back on.
Is Butte/chico salvageable? Due to family, can’t really leave the state, but need to get away from the city. Was thinking of moving to a “Jefferson” county.
@@Uncannysius2023As a resident of Shasta County myself, I'm not convinced that any of them are. Perhaps Siskiyou or Del Norte, but Butte and Shasta are getting a little dicier each election cycle, and Tehama probably isn't far behind.
And sadly, I'm someone who can't afford to leave, or else I'd be gone in a heartbeat.
@@Uncannysius2023 hard to say. Most of Butte is still more small town rural minded, but Chico is just so much bigger than every other town and the state is making it impossible for the localities to fix any issues, especially the homeless issue. I'd still say it's better than the Bay Area or any big metropolitan region.
@@jeffreywinters8060eh, I'm not convinced Butte actually went for Biden in 20 like they're saying. Chico, by far the left stronghold in Butte voted out their liberal city council in a big way. All the other towns kept their conservative incumbents and the county went majority for Congressman LaMalfa. The college students and a chunk of the staff were gone because of Covid. Now they're saying we went Red everywhere except for the President? I don't buy it.
I left Maryland in 2014.. I have lived in Texas for 10 yrs and love it very much.
Great show! Queen Freitas is absolutely right about getting your kids out of blue state schools.
Moved from California to Arizona three months ago. Voted Red in Cali and will continue to vote Red in Az.
I don't run from a fight. Here in the Seattle area, those of us with logic and deductive reasoning are seriously outnumbered, and I'm not backing down.
Should i flee my state? Brother, im thinking of leaving the country. Im just not sure i see a future here anymore.
Where would you go? I literally heard this type of nonsense almost everywhere but maybe I haven’t seen somewhere that cares about true freedom.
@@christinathompson9780 if youre white and christian? poland.
I've been everywhere and I have thought the same!
@@dakotathompson8062that’s exactly what I was about to recommend!
@@christinathompson9780 For English speaking countries, I've considered Ireland or Australia. I have my issues with both governments, but it's not like I love our government either.
For non-english speaking countries, I've been looking into the Philippines, Poland, Russia, or Hungary. I'd consider South Korea or Japan, but I haven't looked too much into them.
We’re leaving Illinois due to taxes and fees for things like licensing!
It's crazy how many Illinois comments are in here!
Why can’t we use our property taxes on a school that we want for our child if we own a home?
We are in central IL, far removed from Chicago. The thing here is that theres a pretty stark divide between the northern part of the state and the southern part. The southern part is very conservative, full of small towns and farmers with conservative values. We are fortuante to live in a small community where the people and the schools align with our values, unlike further north in this state. I pay very close attention to what is taught and the policies within our schools and, so far, theyve remained conservative and refuse to be coerced into pushing certain agendas. Also fortunately, we live in a wealthy community who can afford to sustain the school system if the state withholds funds. We have no current plans to leave, but we monitor the temperature in our area and if things start to change here, we'll do what we need to. 😏
One benefit of living in IL is that it has one of the most lax homeschool laws of all the states. There are very few limits on homeschool currently, and you dont have to report to the state until high school. Of course, it would not surprise me at all if that changes in the near future.
Oklahoma is very lenient. It was built into our constitution because of the lack of schools. Everyone loves to shout truancy or school not actually being taught but with learning to take tests being the norm I would say how do public schools not neglect many more students. My own 60+ uncle didn’t know how to read when he left high school. The homeschoolers I know that had the least education, knew how to read. When you can read the sky is the limit on what you can learn. 😊
Your community is incredibly racist
So many birds crap up their own nest, then flee to crap up everyone else's nests...the liberal way.
