Am a trucker, and I go through some of the red states. Most the towns are on deaths door. They need serious investment and immigrants. Unfortunately, they voted for Trump.
I used to travel and saw the same thing my friend. I remember those towns filled with crumbling shacks, closed stores and factories - trash everywhere and a sense of grinding poverty overall.
I remember someone once called towns like that "sacrifice zones". He was speaking of old coal mining towns in places like West Virginia, but I think the term applies here also. The corporations extract all the wealth that they can from an area, and then leave. The local economy collapses after the corporation leaves and the people are left to struggle on.

I live just to the west of MN, you may just see us crossing the Red one day. This state has always been conservative but it used to be full of common sense.

Now that MAGA has taken over, our surplus has gone to millionaire tax cuts, and our christofascist MAGA governor has nearly doubled the property tax on working folks to make up the budget shortfall.

It is already happening in Texas where up to 1/3 now have plans to leave the state or are actively leaving now. We left Texas for Vermont, my wife is both a Lawyer and an R.N. and she did medical liability. People are bailing like crazy and can't get out fast enough. WE sold our dream home and 6 acres in Texas for a life in Vermont. We live on a ski mountain now. People here are nice and are not the white christian nationalist brand of conservatives up here. They are much more traditional and progressive. Conservatives up here are not in the KKK like they probably all are in East Texas and the free use of the N-word we left behind. Have not heard a single person say the n-word in Vermont since we moved over a year ago. In East Texas it was almost daily. Even our local Sheriff was a founding member of the Proud Boys. The one the next county over was KKK. If it walks like a fascists, talks like a fascist and acts like a fascists - Guess what?
I used to work for a safety agency responding to consumer letters. The ones from red states were always the most unreasonable requests - not safety-related, seeking full replacement for a decade-old product regardless that the failure was their own lack of maintenance...
I was stationed in the bible belt at different times. Fellow Soldiers would come back from deployment to find someone had stolen their vehicles, broken into their storage units etc. Drivers would engage in road rage, some of them had those little fish or "follow me to Berean Baptist Church' bumper stickers. The only impact the Bible seemed to have there was contributing to a proud sense of ignorance and cheap forgiveness for evil behavior.

I take care of my mom, who has dementia. When she passes, I'm out of the country. America has taken the worship of money to a cult level. I can't do it anymore. When the majority of the country believes billionaires and big corporations are our saviors, I'm gone.
So, as someone living in SC, I'd just point out that 40% of our state voted for Kamala, not 20%. Democratic votes over all were 45%. We are gerrymandered into a horrible General Assembly that has a 70% Red Senate and a 74% Red House. Luckily I'm not of childbearing age, and have a ton of Blue friends here, most of them working for change like I am. Can't beat the weather, is the thing.
i write poetry sometimes and this came out of my head after this past election: "The Unloved, the Unloving, the Unlovely, and the Unlovable. The creatures of misery and woe, miscreants, misbegotten, and the moon for the misbegotten rose and they followed, the pitiful and pitiless ilk came out of their dark pits into the moonlight and all together howled as one."
Just look at how many survivors of Helene in the red states are complaining about the lack of instant aid to make things as they were before!! Yet most personal aid is the responsibility of the State & local govts controlled for years by the RW GOP, which doesn't believe in social service safety nets!! The Federal FEMA is mostly concerned with restoring the infrastructure -- roads, bridges, hospitals, schools, public buildings & lastly residences!! The ignorance of typical citizens about their own US history & civics classes is appalling!!
The problem is that the states don’t control where the money goes. The federal government collects revenues and then parcels out aid, subsidies, etc. Think about federal income tax. More is paid by those with higher incomes, and they tend to be in blue states. The state isn’t even involved. During a rant in the not too distant past, I came up with what I term “one dollar one vote”. They like Citizens United? Fine. Let’s modify each state’s electoral votes with a scaling factor: federal $ contributed / federal $ received. If blue states have to foot the bill, at least we’ll get more of a say!!
@Iskelderon blue states are about 75% of the US GDP. Red states depend on federal dollars from blue states to survive and are net takers of federal tax dollars. Kentucky gets $2 for every $1 paid in taxes. And it's mostly SS, VA, disability, etc. That's the source if income for a lot of their residents.

I’m 62, born & lived in Colorado my whole life, traveled abroad alot so glad I lived in a blue state. Retired in 2021 and moved out of the US, I had a feeling 47 would return because American voters are willfully ignorant and have amnesia. I feel for my fellow progressives…
Better ask where were those millions voters who voted for Biden but didn't vote for Kamala? Trump had a similar number of votes as before when he lost.
@D.von.N that's part of the problem, they're showing that even on the Democrats side race and gender are still an issue for them. They are no different than Republicans on this. Instead, they either vote for someone else who's a white straight male, vote with the racist Republicans or not vote at all.
Home of the woke left nutcases that still wear face masks and are in the dole because most want to be “actors”. And taxation is exorbitant and they people who actually work and run businesses ran away screaming the last 5 years! Most of my sane Hollywood friend don’t even want to go there to work anymore they loathe fentanyl Inglewood, piss scent Venice overpriced anything else.
I’m gonna be honest, there are good people that voted blue in red states, we shouldn’t abandon those folks. They are fighting an uphill battle not many of us appreciate in the long term when we see that progress of a state slowly turning purple.
I keep hearing that. Texas being the example held up but I admit I've lost hope that it will happen. So many Texans have voted for Abbott, Cruz etc when those men have shown they have no interest in helping ANYONE but themselves and their rich donors. If they haven't flipped yet I have come to believe it's because they don't want to. It seems they want to be victims so they can sit and whine. Not a charitable view, but I don't know how else to understand their support of people who are so obviously out to screw over their constituents.
I’m a lifelong resident of a deeply Blue state and our family is never going to leave. Even though it’s not right for me to have increased taxes going to the damn Red States because they’re broke.
Grew up in The Chicago area, parents retired to Florida, I was in my early twenties. Lived there for about six months and went screaming back to Chicago. They kept trying to coax back down but I just couldn’t.
Some corrections &/or clarifications are in order. One: the blue states have already been supporting the red states for a long time. They almost all pay more into the federal government than they get back in services. They also have higher scores on such things as level of health and education than the red states. They are better educated, smarter, and better off. That does not make them more powerful, due to the way the US government is set up. The electoral college system is set up to favor the red states. Trump won his first term with 3 million fewer votes than Clinton. Congress is equally weighted to empower red states. When there are 50 Red and 50 Blue senators, the 50 red ones represent 40 million fewer people than the 50 Blue ones. On top of that, you have the current gerrymandering on the state level, and Red Mitch McConnell's illegally packing the Supreme Court with religious red pro-rich extremists. (You can call it the Supreme Court of Maga, or SCOM - pronounce it as you will - instead of SCOTUS.) Most of the SCOM court are Roman Catholic and don't put the Constitution before their religion. The SCOM's Citizens United decision opened the door for money to control America, hence the presidential power of Elon Musk. SCOM also gave Trump license to commit crimes as long as he can claim they are part of his job. So it isn't just stupidity; it's cupidity. SCOM Justice Thomas receiving millions in bribes from Red billionaires and then not recusing himself from lawsuits involving him, for example. Many who voted for Trump did so because they believed his lies. That Australian who became an American so he could buy media and degrade the American mind has much of the responsibility for dumbing down the MAGA mind, though the splintering of the media has made it worse. What you say sounds simple enough, but, sadly, it's much worse than you think. We Americans who love the ideals our founders designed the country around have our work cut out of us. We'll do it for the sake of our children and grandchildren, and our children and grandchildren will probably have to do it all over again for their children and grandchildren. Corruption, greed, fear, etc., are powerful forces that require constant work to counter and conquer.
Plenty of the regular wage workers would be leaving too, if not for the fact that most Americans can't afford to move to the next county, let alone another state.
Proud Californian here. We have had an influx from red states lately. But honestly there are a lot of people content in those cesspools believe it or not. We also don’t understand it in blue states either. We already fund the red states.
I left the UK 52 years ago, nearly went back 30 years ago, but was lucky not to. Europe also has it´s problems, but the countries work together to try and solve them. Politicians in the US and UK, deliberately cause problems. Brexit and Trump´s policies are proof enough.
I live in a red state and vote blue. The red states often have pockets of good jobs, good facilities where many vote blue. But as the policies get more extreme even good jobs are not enough.
👨🏿🦲👍🏿 Well it took red States long enough to figure it out huh? I live in Washington state, I and others have been actively recruiting doctors, nurses, teachers and other professionals to come to Washington State. If red states don't appreciate their talent ...we will take it. And we are.
Young medical school grads are refusing residencies in Texas and other christofascist states; next medical students will abandon schools in those states knowing their accreditations could be in peril. Medically these states are starting to crater.
The gutting of the educational system here in the States really hit its stride in the early 80s with the Reagan admin. What we are dealing with now is the fallout of 40+ years of those policies, as well as the fact that "US" corporations (multinationals, really) have been moving jobs out of the country since the mid-70s.
Good points. I watched a documentary yesterday that talked about how the move away from a phonics-based approach to learning to read towards an approach called "three cues" has been a failure. A lot of American kids never learn to read and are simply passed on to the next grade.
So many of this country's problems were initiated during Reagan. Lowering of education, the rise of the Anti-abortion movement, the fall of Unions, intensified corporate greed and the stagnation of wages. Reagan is a the GOP holy father.
I wish that Congress would pass a law that states could only have the funding they raise within their borders and are not able to get funding from other states.
This is absolutely true - My wife and I left Texas after 56 years (I have almost 40 years of IT experience, she is an R.N. and a Lawyer). We are small business owners that left Texas to be safer for our family. For Texas the writing is on the wall in giant red letters, we know that ship is sinking fast. Texas is in an accelerating downward slide and a race to the bottom against Mississippi for last place in education. Texas has an ever increasing real estate bubble that will pop once the mass rental property investors are done with those investments and flood the market with used rental homes that will need massive repairs (which they will take tax deductions on) and only the rich will be able to afford the flood insurance. 1/3 of pediatricians and gynecologist along with many other doctors either have plans to move or want to leave Texas right now. Texas has fantastic healthcare, for the wealthy. anyone that makes 6 figures or less has to wait for months still, even in Houston with the Texas Medical center. Even when your wife is an R.N and a Lawyer. We moved to Vermont - we traded Bernie Sanders for Ted Cruz - WHAT A RELIEF!!!!!
the higher the education level, the easier it is to get a new job in a different state. the higher the education level, the more likely to see liberal policies are the best policies for economic development and national security.

@ They complain about our Illinois highways. Frost action and heavy traffic are one cause. But our lack of rest stops has earned us a new state nickname, The Hold It State. Have a Merry Christmas. Fortunately, Biden saved Christmas, but failed to take credit. 🤣
Apparently, moving house to another US state ain't cheap, although it depends on how far you're moving and how much stuff you want to take with you. But if you're moving to a high paid job, because you're a professional and therefore a higher income earner, you'll probably think it's worth it just to get away from the MAGA crowd. So it'll be interesting to compare house prices between "blue" and "Red" states in 4 years time.

Unfortunately with trump getting the popular vote I am not sure if things will get better. Bertrand Russel said that a good education is wasted on a dull mind, but a bad education is the ruin of anyone. If that is true there is little hope that American stupidity can ever be overcome with only those who intuitively see that something is not in their interests to resist the tide of stupidity.
I thought I had a poor education. (parents not wealthy, school area not the best, struggled to make proper choices of college due to lack of information etc.) I never amounted to much, but looking at what happens in the USA with 'home-schooling' and evangelical church schools, not to mention the sundry cults, yeah, I got lucky really. I wasn't born there.
Republicans dominated in the 1920s. Then something happened in 1929 that led to 50 years of democratic hegemony. Unfortunately for us, that's what it's going to take for this to end. But don't worry, it's 100% going to happen.
It's hard not to be smug when you are a highly-educated liberal living In California. But statistically its true; Florida and Texas, in particular, are driving out their most promising young residents.
Florida cannot get any teachers. My son is a junior in high school in Tampa Florida and he has lost three out of eight teachers this year. last year, He lost three out of eight. Then there is no teacher replacement when they lose a teacher.
You get it. I'd wished more Americans would have gotten it during the election. It's too late and so sad. Unfortunately, some of us can't afford to move. If we could, it would be a lateral move and more of the same.😢
This is basic economics; there is a greater supply of jobs in cities, meaning greater competition, better compensation, and education is an inherently liberalist institution. The more conservative, reactionary, Republican, and rightist areas simply can’t compete economically with cities.
This is delightful, sad, but delightful. I Live in the US and am devastated by the last event that has plunged us into this nightmare. And absolutely makes no sense to a thinking, common sense person, reasonable person. And yes, I am educated, which should be a plus , by the way, not a minus. Good grief, our country is such a mess. Lack of decent education, arrogance, bowing to the rich, self entitlement, and so many that just want to be taken care of, and choose to make mindless, and what they view as easy choices.

Honey, I agree with you and truly despair at the lack of any type of critical thinking around me and I live in NC. Keep making videos, I just discovered you today.
Red State Texas has no choice but to close down some schools in North Texas. Some of these cities in the said area are on the list of “fast growing cities” in America just 2-3 yrs ago. They are blaming this on everything but their bad policies of banning books and *gon* violence in schools. BTW, these cities were fast growing because of their independent school districts top academic rankings until Republicans decided to poke their noses on books being read at schools while they never did a damn thing about *gon* violence!
You are so correct. My son and I are the only Harris supporters in my family and it is so difficult for me to hold back and not call my siblings morons. I am going to have to watch my nieces and nephews suffer because of absolute idiots and it kills me. I am so angry and feel utterly helpless.
The best advice I can give is to temporarily disengage from any political discourse with them and protect your mental and emotional health. We're in for a rough ride, and there's no point in trying to argue or convince people who are closed-minded and brainwashed at this point.

The wife and I are retired. We just moved from a ruby red state to a more purplish state. Yes, it has a republican governor but a democrat could just as simply be in the governor office in the next election. We left because we made to much money to qualify for medicaid in the ruby red state. That is the state run healthcare. We made $200 to much. Have moved into my granddaughter and her SO home. Have sold the place in the southern state. Wish we did not have to move, but there was no help for it. The state hates the poor and yet the voters there overwhelmingly vote for republicans. Then wonder why they are even poorer. Incredibly blame the democrats and liberals for what the party they overwhelmingly voted for has done and is doing to them. It is stupid is as stupid does. SMH in disgust.
People moving from swing states to Dem fortresses would be a problem due to the electoral college. The same applies to those moving to other countries. Be careful what you cheer for, I guess? I would gladly take in pro-democracy people here in Germany.

Easy for you to be a smarm with your comment when you have no idea what it's like to be an intelligent person in the United States these days, because if you were intelligent, you wouldn't have said such a stupid thing!
The majority of intelligent Americans still think that our country is worth fighting for despite the rampant stupidity in red states and rural areas of blue and purple states. It completely astounds me that so many in agriculture vote against their own interests.
My hypothesis is the US as a whole will experience a brain drain and I am praying that most Black Americans, will lend their expertise and investments to African countries ripe for investment and can reap the benefits of their intellect. I would like to also see them retain their intellect. I recently learned a Nigerian man is responsible for the US's drone program. Return that expertise to Nigeria and neighboring countries. By the way, one of the reasons US companies hires from abroad is because people are better educated.

You're spot on, and I see it where I'm at in a deep red state. I'm retired now but I worked in the tech industry and companies here - even very open minded ones - are having a lot of trouble hiring. Until I retired I worked for a company that had branches in North Dakota, Texas, California, and a very small division on the east coast with people from several New England states working in it. A few years back hiring was no trouble. But now the company can hire for the CA and east coast divisions but Texas and ND are quiet. Hardly anyone applies and of those that do they're not very skilled. People that got duped into taking a 6 month code warrior class and such. And I'm ok with that. It was a fair election people voted red, and now we all get to live with the consequences. I've got the resources to move to another state if it ever comes to that.

I live just to the west of MN, you may just see us crossing the Red one day. This state has always been conservative but it used to be full of common sense. There wasn't enough difference between a moderate democrat and a moderate republican to matter. Now though, the maga hats are everywhere in state government. More to the west of the state true, but that affects the eastern parts as well.
Yup, keep the MAGAts out or they’ll ruin the blue states.
How welcoming. I see the Democrats are still the party of love, understanding, inclusion and peace for all.
@@Singlesix6They just don't want to see a bunch of MAGA emigrating there & turning a nice, well run moderate state into a 💩 hole. Ultra conservative Texans & Californians flocked to Montana over the past few years & turned our lovely purple state blood red. We had a budget surplus from 16 years of Democrat governors & a moderate Republican legislature. Now that MAGA has taken over, our surplus has gone to millionaire tax cuts, and our christofascist MAGA governor has nearly doubled the property tax on working folks to make up the budget shortfall. We're losing access to public lands & essential services in small, remote towns are being defunded. That's what Minnesotans want to avoid
@@Singlesix6 Where in the DNC do they proclaim this? What is love, understanding, inclusion and peace to you?

It's like a democrat wife leaving an abusive republican husband and him lamenting "but I thought you were understanding?!" Get real Singlesix6

They already are
Rural hospitals are shutting down, especially birth wards.
It is already happening in Texas where up to 1/3 now have plans to leave the state or are actively leaving now. We left Texas for Vermont, my wife is both a Lawyer and an R.N. and she did medical liability. People are bailing like crazy and can't get out fast enough. WE sold our dream home and 6 acres in Texas for a life in Vermont. We live on a ski mountain now. People here are nice and are not the white christian nationalist brand of conservatives up here. They are much more traditional and progressive. Conservatives up here are not in the KKK like they probably all are in East Texas and the free use of the N-word we left behind. Have not heard a single person say the n-word in Vermont since we moved over a year ago. In East Texas it was almost daily. Even our local Sheriff was a founding member of the Proud Boys. The one the next county over was KKK. If it walks like a fascists, talks like a fascist and acts like a fascists - Guess what?
I worked for said government department and we always had to spend far more time on the bible belt. Those schools will collapse.
I used to work for a safety agency responding to consumer letters. The ones from red states were always the most unreasonable requests - not safety-related, seeking full replacement for a decade-old product regardless that the failure was their own lack of maintenance...
I was stationed in the bible belt at different times. Fellow Soldiers would come back from deployment to find someone had stolen their vehicles, broken into their storage units etc.
Drivers would engage in road rage, some of them had those little fish or "follow me to Berean Baptist Church' bumper stickers.
The only impact the Bible seemed to have there was contributing to a proud sense of ignorance and cheap forgiveness for evil behavior.
That's what they want. They want to keep the population dumb and ignorant so they have slaves for the workforce.
Never been there (am from europe) but i would predict the schools there won't collapse, they just will end up like the quoran schools of certain middle eastern groups/regimes. They will just get more and more extremist in their isolated echo chamber.

The way red states villify handouts, the blue states should start there and stop doing that. Tell them to pull themself up by their bootstraps! 😂
Totally agree!!!
Just look at how many survivors of Helene in the red states are complaining about the lack of instant aid to make things as they were before!! Yet most personal aid is the responsibility of the State & local govts controlled for years by the RW GOP, which doesn't believe in social service safety nets!! The Federal FEMA is mostly concerned with restoring the infrastructure -- roads, bridges, hospitals, schools, public buildings & lastly residences!!
The ignorance of typical citizens about their own US history & civics classes is appalling!!
@ just the way republicans want it! Dam they are evil!
The problem is that the states don’t control where the money goes. The federal government collects revenues and then parcels out aid, subsidies, etc. Think about federal income tax. More is paid by those with higher incomes, and they tend to be in blue states. The state isn’t even involved.
During a rant in the not too distant past, I came up with what I term “one dollar one vote”. They like Citizens United? Fine. Let’s modify each state’s electoral votes with a scaling factor: federal $ contributed / federal $ received. If blue states have to foot the bill, at least we’ll get more of a say!!
@Iskelderon blue states are about 75% of the US GDP. Red states depend on federal dollars from blue states to survive and are net takers of federal tax dollars. Kentucky gets $2 for every $1 paid in taxes. And it's mostly SS, VA, disability, etc. That's the source if income for a lot of their residents.

Better ask where were those millions voters who voted for Biden but didn't vote for Kamala? Trump had a similar number of votes as before when he lost.
D von N, they joined the stoopid club because the candidate was female.
@D.von.N that's part of the problem, they're showing that even on the Democrats side race and gender are still an issue for them. They are no different than Republicans on this. Instead, they either vote for someone else who's a white straight male, vote with the racist Republicans or not vote at all.

I keep hearing that. Texas being the example held up but I admit I've lost hope that it will happen. So many Texans have voted for Abbott, Cruz etc when those men have shown they have no interest in helping ANYONE but themselves and their rich donors. If they haven't flipped yet I have come to believe it's because they don't want to. It seems they want to be victims so they can sit and whine. Not a charitable view, but I don't know how else to understand their support of people who are so obviously out to screw over their constituents.

Grew up in The Chicago area, parents retired to Florida, I was in my early twenties. Lived there for about six months and went screaming back to Chicago. They kept trying to coax back down but I just couldn’t.
Some corrections &/or clarifications are in order. One: the blue states have already been supporting the red states for a long time. They almost all pay more into the federal government than they get back in services. They also have higher scores on such things as level of health and education than the red states. They are better educated, smarter, and better off. That does not make them more powerful, due to the way the US government is set up. The electoral college system is set up to favor the red states. Trump won his first term with 3 million fewer votes than Clinton. Congress is equally weighted to empower red states. When there are 50 Red and 50 Blue senators, the 50 red ones represent 40 million fewer people than the 50 Blue ones. On top of that, you have the current gerrymandering on the state level, and Red Mitch McConnell's illegally packing the Supreme Court with religious red pro-rich extremists. (You can call it the Supreme Court of Maga, or SCOM - pronounce it as you will - instead of SCOTUS.) Most of the SCOM court are Roman Catholic and don't put the Constitution before their religion. The SCOM's Citizens United decision opened the door for money to control America, hence the presidential power of Elon Musk. SCOM also gave Trump license to commit crimes as long as he can claim they are part of his job. So it isn't just stupidity; it's cupidity. SCOM Justice Thomas receiving millions in bribes from Red billionaires and then not recusing himself from lawsuits involving him, for example. Many who voted for Trump did so because they believed his lies. That Australian who became an American so he could buy media and degrade the American mind has much of the responsibility for dumbing down the MAGA mind, though the splintering of the media has made it worse. What you say sounds simple enough, but, sadly, it's much worse than you think. We Americans who love the ideals our founders designed the country around have our work cut out of us. We'll do it for the sake of our children and grandchildren, and our children and grandchildren will probably have to do it all over again for their children and grandchildren. Corruption, greed, fear, etc., are powerful forces that require constant work to counter and conquer.
Very well said and, sadly, spot on.
Thank you for stating the facts.
We escaped fascist floriduh for Maine last year. I hope and plan to NEVER again travel to or through any red state.
Plenty of the regular wage workers would be leaving too, if not for the fact that most Americans can't afford to move to the next county, let alone another state.

It is the same in the UK where since brexit anyone with any sense is leaving the UK
Any sense or any money, though there is now a majority recognising Brexit damage.

Europe also has it´s problems, but the countries work together to try and solve
them. Politicians in the US and UK, deliberately cause problems. Brexit and

New doctors are choosing to not go to certain states like Idaho where they could be imprisoned for helping women.

The gutting of the educational system here in the States really hit its stride in the early 80s with the Reagan admin.
What we are dealing with now is the fallout of 40+ years of those policies, as well as the fact that "US" corporations (multinationals, really) have been moving jobs out of the country since the mid-70s.
Good points. I watched a documentary yesterday that talked about how the move away from a phonics-based approach to learning to read towards an approach called "three cues" has been a failure. A lot of American kids never learn to read and are simply passed on to the next grade.
So many of this country's problems were initiated during Reagan. Lowering of education, the rise of the Anti-abortion movement, the fall of Unions, intensified corporate greed and the stagnation of wages. Reagan is a the GOP holy father.
I wish that Congress would pass a law that states could only have the funding they raise within their borders and are not able to get funding from other states.
Would never pass. GOP always wants their costs to be covered by others, and the DEMS would say that is too cruel to do.
This is absolutely true - My wife and I left Texas after 56 years (I have almost 40 years of IT experience, she is an R.N. and a Lawyer). We are small business owners that left Texas to be safer for our family. For Texas the writing is on the wall in giant red letters, we know that ship is sinking fast. Texas is in an accelerating downward slide and a race to the bottom against Mississippi for last place in education. Texas has an ever increasing real estate bubble that will pop once the mass rental property investors are done with those investments and flood the market with used rental homes that will need massive repairs (which they will take tax deductions on) and only the rich will be able to afford the flood insurance. 1/3 of pediatricians and gynecologist along with many other doctors either have plans to move or want to leave Texas right now. Texas has fantastic healthcare, for the wealthy. anyone that makes 6 figures or less has to wait for months still, even in Houston with the Texas Medical center. Even when your wife is an R.N and a Lawyer.

Apparently, moving house to another US state ain't cheap, although it depends on how far you're moving and how much stuff you want to take with you. But if you're moving to a high paid job, because you're a professional and therefore a higher income earner, you'll probably think it's worth it just to get away from the MAGA crowd. So it'll be interesting to compare house prices between "blue" and "Red" states in 4 years time.

I thought I had a poor education. (parents not wealthy, school area not the best, struggled to make proper choices of college due to lack of information etc.) I never amounted to much, but looking at what happens in the USA with 'home-schooling' and evangelical church schools, not to mention the sundry cults, yeah, I got lucky really. I wasn't born there.

Some states are starting a slow process of reinvesting in education. Some northeastern states also have parochial schools in urban areas.
It's hard not to be smug when you are a highly-educated liberal living In California. But statistically its true; Florida and Texas, in particular, are driving out their most promising young residents.

This is basic economics; there is a greater supply of jobs in cities, meaning greater competition, better compensation, and education is an inherently liberalist institution.

I am so homesick for the United Kingdom. I really miss living there and hated to have to come back to the US. Thank you for so eloquently stating the situation of the United States at this time. TTFN!!!
Come to minnesota if you want to keep educating your children, and keep them healthy. Along with the Mayo Clinic and many great hospitals we also have a ton of colleges and universities.
I have found that since my mother was born when my Grandmother was still a British citizen, I qualify for a UK passport. I will be starting the process after the first of the year.. and I do not even live in a red state. I am in very blue New Jersey.
@@sailingspark9748 I’m eligible for dual citizenship in Canada but I’m ill so can’t take advantage of it. I’m technically in a blue state (VA) but it’s just barely blue. 😵💫
Be very careful. After Brexit, the UK became sort of a poor red state in comparison to Europe. Only if the UK rejoins the EU moving there will be worthwhile.
@@MariaMartinez-researcher yes, but it also opens up a lot of commonwealth states. My goal is Australia. It's as far from the madness in Washington and Moscow as you can get.
My ancestory is mostly english and irish, but i'm sure its been too many generation for me to emigrate. :(
@@raa1566 You won’t know until you check it out. 😁
Can’t hurt to find out. 👍🏻
I approve this message.
You’re absolutely right! Stupid is as stupid does! And, life is like a box of chocolates… But as my dear old mum used to say, if you don’t like the one you’ve got spit it out and pick out another! I currently live in a red state… And I’m seriously considering moving to a blue state! 😉👋🏼🤣😜😁
Forrest Gump was not a bad person.
Or to a welcoming part of a purple state. We gotta get PA, MI, and WI in particular back to sanity.
Please do
Skilled professionals like my wife aren't just leaving red states. We're leaving the country. We know of 4 others in my wife's profession looking to leave to Europe, NZ, and/or Australia.
We are in rural France which is nice
Most intelligent folk left america during DonOlds last term.
BS. Millions of American cannot leave because they can't afford to leave - and where would they go - to some country that they don't speak the language, can't find a job, can't afford to retire to? Easy for you to be a smarm with your comment when you have no idea what it's like to be an intelligent person in the United States these days, because if you were intelligent, you wouldn't have said such a stupid thing!
@@johndoeyedoe nope, some of us were wrapping up our work life. Maybe this term from the sounds of it, and Elon hasn’t even been sworn in yet.
The majority of intelligent Americans still think that our country is worth fighting for despite the rampant stupidity in red states and rural areas of blue and purple states. It completely astounds me that so many in agriculture vote against their own interests.
My hypothesis is the US as a whole will experience a brain drain and I am praying that most Black Americans, will lend their expertise and investments to African countries ripe for investment and can reap the benefits of their intellect. I would like to also see them retain their intellect. I recently learned a Nigerian man is responsible for the US's drone program. Return that expertise to Nigeria and neighboring countries.
By the way, one of the reasons US companies hires from abroad is because people are better educated.
BINGO
My wife and I are both looking at leaving a Ohio a red state over the next year or so. Although I we are looking at moving to New Zealand or Australia as that is where I am from. She has a master's degree and we are out of here.
@@goarmysleepinthemud.
I have relatives in Ohio. I thought Ohio was a purple state. How long ago did Ohio go red and stay red? I am grateful to live in a blue state myself. My state hasn't gone red for decades.
@@jessicaharris1608 I lived in Stow before leaving US America. Summit was a blue county a few years ago when I was there, but turning red. Portage next door was Florida red- even though Kent State is there. I would see jacked up trucks with magat flags with Portage County tags all the time. Ohio is as red as Texas or Florida.
He is so correct. Love his voice.
Stupider every year since reagan
I’m ready for a national divorce. DUMXIT.
You're spot on, and I see it where I'm at in a deep red state. I'm retired now but I worked in the tech industry and companies here - even very open minded ones - are having a lot of trouble hiring. Until I retired I worked for a company that had branches in North Dakota, Texas, California, and a very small division on the east coast with people from several New England states working in it. A few years back hiring was no trouble. But now the company can hire for the CA and east coast divisions but Texas and ND are quiet. Hardly anyone applies and of those that do they're not very skilled. People that got duped into taking a 6 month code warrior class and such.
And I'm ok with that. It was a fair election people voted red, and now we all get to live with the consequences. I've got the resources to move to another state if it ever comes to that.
My hubby writes software for a major company in New England. He is working remotely for their AZ office, as they can't find enough qualified people. Many of the engineers he deals with there are lazy and not very productive....
I’m in Massachusetts and the population here is growing and the housing situation is unaffordable. So yes, people are piling in.
Dunning-Kruger is strong in America.
It's true. I'm looking for a new home in a different country.
I'm in a blue state already and it feels like it's getting a bit purple. The real drain will be out of the country.
The United States Democracy Experiment could have resulted in so much more, for everyone. It's just so unfortunate, sad and very real. :(
The Red States will have to…
“pull themselves up by their boot straps.”
Spot on! Just subscribed from far eastern Pennsylvania (originally from Southern California) Thank you for speaking the truth
Time to split into two different countries. We aren’t even the same species anymore
