Where Do You Want to Live: Red State or Blue State?

[Glitch]

I know green is the way to go for our future ,but it has to be gradual. To many lively hoods on the line for a drastic change and I have not seen an effective plan. Texas is my dream state to move to. I would not want it to turn into another California.

Just be careful where in Texas you relocate. From what I understand from a relative who lives there, living in Austin, Texas is not much different than living in Los Angeles, California. You need to check out the political bent of the cities in Texas. The bigger they are, the less likely they will be conservative.

Never been afraid of Walmart boots...

Your love and respect for private sector employees is stunning regardless of whether or not they are Walmart

Walmart reveals salaries -- and they may not be what you think

The average store manager makes $175,000 year.

Still waiting for you to explain why TX is better off Blue than Red? If you care so much about your liberal ideology being adopted you would find a way to get to the polls. I cancelled yours out yesterday by voting for Trump, Cornyn.

I and thousands of others voted on the first day... Voted for every democrat and left my vote blank for those offices that only had a republican candidate... Pure blue baby...

Unless you voted a dozen times or more, you cancelled no one. Check the voting statistics for your State. More votes have already been cast than there are eligible voters, and they are not coming from Republicans, and it is still two weeks before the election.

Take a stroll through your neighborhood cemetery and I will wager that you see the names of a few of the current voters that you may recognize.

So you cannot explain why you want this state to be like California with high taxes, massive nanny state, leading the nation in poverty, homeless, illegals, high cost of living? Pure blue baby is what you cannot seem to justify

Yes, I find it quite interesting how many votes have been cast in this state but don't buy the belief that all Democrats are voting for Biden as I know quite a few who have voted and have voted for Trump. The media spin that a D or R matters only relates to pure partisans as there are still a lot of good democrats here

People are fleeing California and NY and still that doesn't resonate with you, when exactly did the pandemic occur and when exactly did the fifth largest economy in the world exist?

You keep writing about "tent cities" in California and my point is that while it is too many people it's still a very tiny percentage of the population. Your constant refrain about people moving from NY and California et al is a tiny issue that's not worth responding to. People have been moving away from northern and midwestern states for decades to escape winter and/or because they were in the manufacturing industry and the reality is that manufacturing moved offshore because globally we cannot compete with the cost of manufacturing in poorer economies. You're so bland white in everything you write that you seem to lack the intellectual ability to look at things from the sociological aspect of what causes change. A perfect example is Texas where the politics are changing pretty rapidly because the population in Texas is becoming more diverse = more Democrats. If Biden doesn't win Texas this year (probably won't) it won't be too many election cycles before Texas becomes purple/blue. You'll be a relic of Texas' past.

I agree. I’m looking more towards the Hill Country. A smaller town such as Fredericksburg or New Braunfels. Possible in that area.

Well he does seem to be happy about all of the people moving to Texas from the big cities and states he hates, so maybe he secretly wants a shift in political lean for Texas.

Starting from the late 90s and on, there was a surge of midwesterners moving in to NYC for better career opportunities. Many of the ones I encountered were through temp roles at my former employer. The common story was kids out of college looking to make their way into a particular industry (media, finance, advertising). Often, career choices are a big factor, and many of the high paying jobs are located in urban centers.

Being that Blue ran areas generate the vast majority of our nation's GDP, I think I would rather live where people are actually productive rather than the dependent, unproductive, red areas.

why does the 5th largest economy in the world have tent cities? What exactly does your ideology promote? Stunning how freedoms are so easy for you to discount and massive nanny state performance is ignored. What a waste of time you are, I voted for Trump on Tuesday

Of course you do but you can afford it like most liberal elites, that isn't the point at all, what is the ideology of liberalism? Liberals here live in a bubble, totally clueless as to what is going on around them, calling for change, calling for racial equality and ignoring that liberals have run those areas of massive rioting for decades, hire, fund, and train the police so whose fault is it? The left is great at casting blame, never accepting responsibilities

And why isn't that GDP getting to the people that the left claims they want to help? Creating dependences is enslavement not help!! People are fleeing those states with all your claimed opportunities, why?

Liberals encite violence, and that's why I stopped becoming a Liberal. I found that conservative states, on the other hand, are more socially and economically balanced, but I would prefer some Liberal states over the rest. I personally don't like most of the Liberal states. Just a select few. This doesn't mean anything other than my own personal preference

For its size, Dallas is much more conservative than people believe. Compared to Austin, Houston and San Antonio, it could be Utah.

For its size, Dallas is much more conservative than people believe. Compared to Austin, Houston and San Antonio, it could be Utah.

Size is just one contributing factor. Usually the best indicator, but not always. In Alaska, for example, the three biggest cities are Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau. However, if you were to put those cities in the political spectrum Anchorage would be moderate (vacillating between right-wing and left-wing mayors), Fairbanks is predominately right-wing, and Juneau is primarily left-wing.

They were not always liberal States either. I was born and raised in California, and served in the military while Reagan was Governor. Despite a small handful of leftist cities, like Berkley and San Francisco, California was very conservative during the late 1960s and early 1970s. California started going downhill the first time Governor Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown was elected in the late 1970s. By 1989 and the first illegal retroactive gun ban by California, I knew it was time to get out.

I considered moving to Texas. I also included Arizona, Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho on my list, but ultimately Alaska had the best attitude towards firearms of all the States, and a much more conservative government than California. I moved to Alaska in 1991, where I remain today. It was the best move I ever made.

Berkeley's Fight For Free Speech Fired Up Student Protest Movement

This week marks the 50th anniversary of the Free Speech Movement at the University of California, Berkeley, a protest that would help define a generation of student activism across the country.

Berkeley's Fight For Free Speech Fired Up Student Protest Movement
Oct 5, 2014

Mario Savio, leader of the Berkeley Free Speech Movement, speaks .., on Dec. 7, 1964. The Movement celebrates its 50th this week.

... But 50 years ago, before the Free Speech Movement, UC students were barred from distributing flyers about the major issues of the day. In 1964, it was the civil rights struggle.

"It was the passion that fueled the Free Speech Movement," says Lynn Hollander Savio, who was a senior.. in Oct of 1964.

..many students had spent the summer on voter registration drives in the South. Back at Berkeley, they set up information tables to tell other students about civil rights. ...administration tried to shut them down, the students were incredulous.
.....
But if the students won their battle on campus, off campus was another story. Seth Rosenfeld, the author of Subversives, a history of that era, says a wave of conservative reaction against the Berkeley protest lifted a rising politician named Ronald Reagan.

..Reagan announced his candidacy for governor in 1966, he blasted both the Berkeley protestors and the administrators ...

"Will we allow a great university to be brought to its knees by a noisy dissident minority? Will we meet their neurotic vulgarities with vacillation and weakness?" Reagan said.

..But old wounds, if not healed, were soothed by time. After Mario Savio died in 1996, the steps of Sproul Hall were named for the charismatic orator.."

You clearly have no clue what you are talking about. First and foremost, the First Amendment only protects those who are peacefully and lawfully protesting. It does not protect rioters, looters, or those who violate the law. Which is also true today. If it is not lawful or peaceful, then it cannot be construed as a protest. None of the riots in Berkley were protests, they were all unlawful and in several cases violent.

Just like today, leftist filth are always violent and always violating the law. Mentally deranged leftists clearly do not have the first clue about how to properly protest, then or now.

The Mulford Act was passed by a Democrat-controlled legislature with two-thirds veto-proof majority. If you actually knew anything about how your own government functions you would know that all Governors sign legislation that passes with a veto-proof majority. They have no choice in the matter. But I'm not the least bit surprised you are unaware of those facts. Maybe you should have gotten an education instead of that leftist indoctrination.

Lastly, the Mulford Act did not ban open carry in California. It prohibited openly carrying a loaded firearm. As long as the firearm was not loaded, it can be openly carried in California, even today.
