    Can we get 25 million volunteers to move proportionally to red states for the next few years?

          I’m in Austin, TX. I’ve lived on two continents, three countries, ten US states. This region of the world is by far the worst place I’ve ever lived… fellas, I lived in a third world country and Texas is worse. It’s dystopian. You can’t go outside. It’s 100 degrees half the year with high humidity. The air is dirty, polluted, full of allergens. People burn garbage everywhere. There is no wildlife. Trash in the street. Everything is dead, except a few biting insects, there’s no living creatures — not even birds. Dogs chained outside in the heat. Nature is dying, yellow and faded, except for the artificial grass — a rare sign of life (until the water runs out). Houston meanwhile is a gridlocked pile of parking lots and dirty overpasses built on a swamp, so whenever it rains it floods (which is comical — why does anyone live here?). Don’t come. There is no hope.

      Half a million movers per month would both wreck California and rural states real quick.

        Also Cali would turn red quickly. I don’t think our voter numbers show the true story. There are a lot of MAGA crazies in CA. I just doubt they bother voting atm because they know it’s pointless.

          That’s a bit incomplete.

          Those who stay back would find cities, economy, infrastructure and culture crumbling and uprooted. Ghost town culture doesn’t exactly inspire hope and confidence.

          On the other hand, there would be somewhat of a plague syndrome benefitting those.

        They want to pass a law that says you have to get the majority of the majority of counties and they have 256 mostly small rural counties some with less than 100 people in them.

        I did the math and you could hold the majority of the majority with as little as 4% of the vote.

        If you try to be cute and take over a bunch of small counties the law could just be further amended or you know they could just not find your bodies.
