What's better is the Republican governors who incentive leftist business to move there and then bring their workers from say, California, with them.

Honestly, most of them are trash.

Me I'd make sure emigrants for sure want to be there. States could do like a green card program. After 5 years, you can vote in all state elections, and your tax rate should go down to whatever an actual citizen if that state pays, instead of the"emigrant rate", you can get a resident driver's license and have other privilege of residents.

I agree with this.

They'll vote wrong in their new state and claim lefty policies in California didn't work because they did it wrong.

Fuck that.

Jack Sparrow is awesome.

He wouldn't get the jab, or put up with any govt bullshit.

Permission is never requested. He's free to go wherever.

We need more anarchists.

They'll vote for the same policies that destroyed their own states. Thus there will be two shitholes instead of one. Look at what they did to California. Used to be a nice place - Republican. Ronald Reagan was from there! Now it's a literal shithole. As in, there are human feces in the streets.

Reagan had a lot to do with that.

His belief that you could just amnesty everyone there and nothing would change was stupid. He personally turned California blue, the guy who the modern day right looks to as some kind of pillar of values. Just like Donald Trump laid the framework for Joe to execute a significant portion of the elderly population.

It's exactly like Republican governors paying businesses to come to their state through tax breaks, and being shocked when they not only do just that, they(like Toyota) bring in over 5000 residents from their home state with them or outsource things like customer service to India instead of hiring local people.

Ultimately, we need the red states to move to allow more freedom not less. But a lot of the Republican party represents corporate interests, politicians like Christie Noem or Donald Trump, rather that American values and freedom, like Ron DeSantis.

This is probably because the American people, generally the "right", have largely lost what values they're conserving or even what they believe. Instead, they're largely influenced by milquetoast former Democrats, who want all the policies that Bernie espouses, without all the rhetoric (they want to be Chinese essentially, serfs with technology).

They've lost We've lost, or will lose the culture war, even if the current battle is won. I say this, because, I think I saw a statistic a couple of months ago that less than 18% of children are growing up in a household with two married parents(a male and a female). That's not death of the west, but it is death of the United States, as established under the declaration of independence. It's a different culture, my guess is we will go the way of New Zealand or Australia, or we'll break apart somehow at some point. Who knows what the catalyst will be.
