| 'Escape Liberal Hell': Oregon, Washington Republicans Flee PNW, Join California Conservatives In Idaho |
| 2023-12-10 |
| [ZERO] America is witnessing a seismic shift in its demographic landscape. Recent data from Idaho reveals an unprecedented trend: people are migrating not just for jobs, schools, or lifestyle, but for political alignment. The movement is reshaping the country, according to the Seattle Times' Danny Westneat. The call to "Escape liberal hell," as echoed by a Boise, Idaho real estate agent, is not just a catchy sales pitch but a sign of the times. Idaho's voter database sheds light on this great political migration. Approximately 119,000 voters have moved to Idaho in recent years, with a staggering 65% registering as Republicans—a figure that overshadows the state's already GOP-leaning demographic of 58%. And it's not just a trickle of discontented conservatives - it's a flood. The data also suggests that the narrative of liberals, untethered by remote work, turning red states purple, has been upended. Instead, a "Republican fever dream" (as the Idaho Capital Sun called it) is materializing. |

| #7 The same thing happened to Oregon. When I was there in 1990 the true Oregonians hated that so many Californians were moving in and taking over. |

| #6 Until the 1990s, Washington was a Republican controlled state. Then Californians started moving there and turned it blue. The once great state is now a hellhole. Don't blame them for leaving. |

| #3 Soon enough. Ultimately it will prove futile as the Left cannot allow the message of Liberty to be carried forward. Geography will cease to be an impediment. |
