Much better to be run by states that are economic dead weight, can’t keep their own power grids on line, and lead the nation in per capita murders, overdoses, incarcerations, maternal mortality, etc, etc, etc, etc.
Nice deflection and what aboutism. Have you seen Portland, SF, Chicago, Detroit, Seattle, and etc.? They're shitholes of crime, and homelessness, lawlessness, and people literally shitting in the streets. Know what they have in common? Your democrat party controls them from top to bottom: the city council, the school board, the public works, the PD, the mayor's office, the county government, the governor's office, the state legislature, and the state's Senate & Congressional delegation. They can run things as they please and put their policies into action with no meaningful resistance at any level... and look at how that works out. THAT'S why the last thing we need is dems running the country. Look at the results of them running any major city.
Didn’t expect you to post pics of literal shitholes.They're shitholes of crime
Whenever you ask people from around the world where they like to visit it's always Gary Indiana, skip Chicago!
No I don't, always don't want it run by trump 🤷♂️
Oh I like this one.
Disagree with what? Everything I posted was a statistical fact. Rich people moving to red states to avoid income tax doesn't mean they want the leaders of their new states, that are all net drains on the economy, to be the ones leading the country.
Not sure is NBC is allowed as a resource for MAGA but people are leaving FL in droves.
It's not a deflection. When you make a statement like yours about a two party race you're obviously endorsing the opposing side. It's worth pointing out that for all blue states faults, and there are plenty, they still lead in the majority of important measurable.Nice deflection and what aboutism.

This is the result of dem control and policies:
Gary is basically SE Chicago.
The people moving disagree with your sentiment and point of view. The numbers show that if you care to take 15 seconds and google it.
Did you read the article? The report from 2022 data shows that Florida gained 700,000 and lost 500,000 in that year. We call that a net positive my friend.
Of course tax isn't the only reason. COL is also lower in poor states.
Said no one ever. There is literally an East Chicago, Indiana.
Let's face it, though, it's a very big one, and I can understand it when it comes to being retired. Not to mention the weather. The main reasons people are leaving Illinois are work and retirement. Nobody wants to talk about that. It sounds better if you make believe everyone is fleeing a war zone.
The irony of it all is that in the world class cities (also known as Dem run) - the rot of the city isn't caused by "progressive policies" it's be neoliberalism and unfettered late stage capitalism that has eroded the middle class. Nobody gives a shit about a pride flag at city hall when they're sleeping on the streets, but because Tv man tells Joe 3XL in Ohio that San Fran is a shit hole because of woke it's an easy narrative. Rather than.....what did you expect when you allowed corporations to run kingdoms in these cities and PE firms buy up all the real estate.
Illinois had a Republican governor from 1977-2003. The state was being run by Republicans for most of the 90s. The state voted for Reagan twice and GHW Bush.
Parents live in the suburbs of Chicago, and Dad is a recently retired county sheriff. They're looking to retire to South Carolina, due to cheaper cost of living for their retirement years. My dad is the one pushing the move because of the property taxes they currently pay. Mom quickly realized all benefits of their current area they'd be giving up but moving to a more rural area
My uncle took his millions and ran from Wheaton IL to Valpo IN. Two years later he has a stroke. Then he gets Covid and the aftermath left him with all sorts of issues.
Wait! What? When did that happen?
Back to Wheaton I'm sure 😂
Wikipedia says 1893.
And Wheaton is my hometown, my mom doesn't want my dad to leave his heart doctor there 😂 small world.
I think it is part of why my parents haven't left. That and the grandkids. My dad has heart stuff, beetus, etc. and his doctors are all here. For as much as they bitch about their property taxes and all that, they're still around.
Is it late stage capitalism that decriminalized theft and is forcing retailers to flee cities because their stores are being regularly looted?
