Snake Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Of the 12 blue states that Hillary Clinton won by the largest percentage margins — Hawaii, California, Vermont, Massachusetts, Maryland, New York, Illinois, Washington, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Delaware — all but three of them lost residents through domestic migration (excluding immigration) over the last 10 years. In fact combined, all 12 Hillary Clinton states lost an average of 6 percent of their populations to net out-migration over the past decade. California and New York alone lost 3 million people in the past 10 years. Now let’s contrast the Hillary Clinton states with the 12 states that had the largest percentage margin vote for Donald Trump. Every one of them, save Wyoming, was a net population gainer — West Virginia, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Idaho, South Dakota, Kentucky, Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee, Nebraska and Kansas. The move from blue to red states — almost 1,000 people every day — has been one of the greatest demographic stories in American history. If you go to states like Arizona, Florida, Tennessee and Texas these days, all you see is out of blue state license plates. Pretty much the same pattern holds true for jobs. The job gains in the red states carried by the widest margins by Mr. Trump had about twice the job creation rate as the bluest states carried by Mrs. Clinton. Hillary Clinton mentioned GDP numbers. While it is true that the blue states of the two coasts and several of the Midwestern states are richer than the redder states of the South and mountain regions over recent decades, she failed to mention the giant transfer of wealth from Clinton to Trump states. IRS tax return data confirm that from 2006-2016 Hillary Clinton’s states lost $113.6 billion in combined wealth, whereas Donald Trump’s states gained $116.0 billion. The Hillary Clinton states are in a slow bleed. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/mar/25/no-hillary-its-the-red-states-that-are-dynamic/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You miss the point. If the trends that Moe highlight continue, maybe even you and Ben will be happy someday. It shows that the liberal paradises just don't work. I live in CT and people are leaving in droves, thanks to 30 years of Democrats taxing everything that moves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f7ben Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I think what that stat says is that people that vote in those Hillary states are fucking morons and anyone with a brain is fleeing them for some sanity. Thank God we dont have a system where urban dwelling morons from populations centers get to dictate to us who our leaders are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
