#Moving #RealEstate #PoliticalViews
It’s awful what’s happening to the country. When I was a kid, I remember my grandparents next door neighbors had Ford signs on their lawn and my grandparents had Carter signs on theirs. They both flew American flags from the front porches and in the mornings it was “hi Dave” and “hi Joe” and at night it was “How was your day” and “firing up the grill this weekend so why don’t you come by with the kids” It’s a real shame what’s happened
I completely agree 👍🏼👌🏼!
I agree, too. Seems we've lost our way some. Need to pick back up the trail - break out our moral compasses.
Totally agree! I'm almost 60 and was born and raised in a small NE Ohio town. I felt like I lived in Mayberry!! I still feel that way today. Neighbors took care of each other, we had a fire department auction every year, picnic in the park for 4th of July and parades for Memorial Day. Things are so different now. I want my childhood back!!!!!!! ❤️❤️
Fox News calls democrats “evil” and “here to destroy America” and “the enemy” every day.
We should do this. The civil war outcome was a failure because reconstruction ended prematurely.
If political " sorting " happens, so be it.
While listening to this report, I thought, "to each is own. Your life, do what you will." But when the Texas realtor used the words "refugees" and "trauma", the words "ignorant" and "bullsh**" came to mind. Calling themselves refugees is absolutely ludicrous, clueless, and completely out of touch with what's going on outside of the America.
Maybe they are joining the cult they always dreamed of soon?
No. There's hostility that happens inside America too.
Good point. Soon their paradise locale won't be so perfect.
You're so mad lol.
Probabloy they forgot that their own country invaded so many other nations that, now they are paying the price by the insurgence of the Ref + U = gee
lookd like nobody love their own karma
People don't want the truth, they want to be told they're right...
Maybe politics shouldn't rule every aspect of your life.
@@rasputinspickledpeepee1976 Except the people in this report said themselves that was the reason why, right before the report showed how realtor sites are springing up to help people move 'somewhere redder'. Maybe you just have poor comprehension skills.
maybe stop letting your democrat cities turn into shitholes.
Indeed.
It does.. when those policies can place your life endanger
But it is an idea when politicians where you live want to run all aspects of your life.
So basically, liberal areas are becoming more liberal, and conservative areas are becoming more conservative? Pretty much the same situation as politics in general.
Real story: Two REALTORS saw an opportunity to make money profiting off of politics. The more people who move the more money they make in commissions. They have a big incentive to push this idea of moving states to Republicans in Democrat states. This news story is a great way to get free advertising for themselves & their business.
You're right. But they have willing customers who are absolutely painted red or blue.
I despise realtors. Common salesman who grandiosely refer to themselves as “professionals”. So happy they lost that court case and will no longer receive unfair commissions
@@RoadTripzz14 Absolutely. Realtors are unindicted co-conspirators, who were involved in the biggest financial crime in U.S. history. Never trust a realtor.
Saying "Americans are relocating" when the average American can't afford a $500 emergency is wild. Americans are relocating alright, from homes to tents.
Those Americans need to stop crying and lift themselves up by their bootstraps.
dumb, lame, doom and gloom propaganda
Wallow in your misery. 😂😂😂😂😂
Tents? Must be democrat run California
Well, look at this clip. They're only showing large, expensive homes. Have you looked at home prices in Boise lately? These "refugees" only appear to be the wealthy ones.
Born in Seattle lived there 51 years and sold my home in Bellevue and moved to Northern Nevada,was looking at Idaho but I have family there and visited many times,i refuse to pay property taxes for the insanity of King County.
I'm sure Washington is glad to get rid of them.
Have you ever encountered a critically- thinking conservative or at least one who had some empathy? Neither have I.
I'm sure you deserve to live in your bubble.
@@daxtonbrown Oh the irony!
Got that right. I'm a SF Bay area native, moved to and lived in Idaho for 4 years and was glad to move back to California. The small minded and petty politics up there were too much for me. California has lots of problems, but we are wide open down here on how to solve them, and everybody works on it together, no matter what your background. Everyone's included.
A bowl of clam chowder never looked so good when I got back.
Who is working on the homeless problem in SF? And the fentanyl? And the crime? So delusional. Everyone's included to be apart of a dystopia?
I'm a Bay Area native and moved to eastern oregon which is conservative and I love it. I will never look back.
This must be a bot. SF doesn't solve any of its problems.
California? Yeah, right. Give me a break.
As an Idahoan, Thank you for moving back to California!
Thankfully, I'm moving back to New England next month. Florida is the most hateful state I have ever lived in. I am sorry I came here. It isn't just politics, mortgage went up, car insurance went up, property taxes went up, and home insurance skyrocketed. Can no longer afford to live in Florida. At least, in New Hampshire, I found an affordable home and I can afford the bills. Not to mention NH is not a hateful state to live in. People are actually nice and welcoming, no political BS gets in the way.
Florida used to be my family’s vacation destination. I have no desire to ever set foot back there. I would like to see Key West before I die though!
Left FL 3 years ago, best thing I ever did.
Who was President during the lockdown?
BIDEN dumdum libtrd
TRUMP
And who was President who tried to force you to get vaxxed or lose your job?
It was an election year, that's why the chaos was manufactured by the left. Lockdowns, BLM and so forth
@@RobinDale50 never forced any of my employees to get trump vaccine. Run my own business
I moved offshore 10 yrs ago. I return to U.S. maybe once a yr for business purposes. Here where I live now people are more interested in their lives than anything else. Just being happy. I have been watching this yr out of curiosity, but am basically disgusted with how people conduct themselves in U.S. It makes corrupt countries look decent by comparison
@@FalconAndTrident I know it hurts to say that. As a service member that gave blood for the U.S. , it was a hard decision for me to make. I had been raised as a Navy brat to respect our system and all those it served. Obviously I was unable to carry forward my father’s wishes. I always hold out hope that more stable people will be able to right this ship before it sinks in the rough waters it sails. As I watch accounts of misdeeds by people entrusted with our democracy and listen to the lies perpetrated by Trump and his sycophants, that hope fades. Good luck to you, yours and all that will be looking for greener pastures if Trump is returned to office.
@@FalconAndTrident 💪🏽🙏🏽
It makes sense to me why they decided to move. They don't like anyone who doesn't look like them or share their beliefs.
You think whites are the only ones like that?
Yup. Like blacks do every day.
This is the most ridiculous sh*t I ever heard. I'll be damned if politics are going to determine where I live ANYWHERE in the United States of America. It's still a freakin' free country. Gotta wonder what people who do this sort of thing are really afraid of - maybe finding out not everybody thinks like they do?
They’re just exaggerating if they’re moving out just because of politics. People only do that , is when politics is living in their head rent free.
maybe stop letting your democrat cities turn into shitholes.
@@rasputinspickledpeepee1976 No, my friend, I'm saying I'll live anywhere in the US I choose, whether it's peopled with conservatives, liberals, or people of ANY political persuasion.
@@eduardoramos7423 Well friend, I've actually known people who packed up & moved to other states because of politics. Unfathomable behavior. Thanks for your reply.
It is a free country. They're allowed to escape if they want to.
We are leaving Florida… we are looking for someplace much more blue. If you’re looking for a red state, feel free to check out Florida. You can have it! We will be moving to Asheville, North Carolina.
move to California, it's a blue utopia in desperate need of new residents
@@Le_Dislike_Button No, it's not! It's densely populated and can afford to lose more people.
I know of a woman from Texas who moved to Washington state in large part because of the abortion ban.
According to her, she got pregnant after being RA'd, she chose (key word, chose) to keep her baby resulting in the birth of her daughter but a couple years later, Roe v. Wade was overturned and Texas implemented a near total abortion ban.
She chose to leave Texas so that her daughter won't have her choices taken away from her should what happened to her also happen to her daughter as well.
That is moving because of legal rights not because of politics. These people in the video don't want to live near people who don't have the same thinking they do. They didn't say they were not given the same freedoms.
@@barcelonachair6487 At least they can buy a home. Move to Cali or Washington for liberal/progressive views? Say bye bye to the dream of homeownership cause you'll be renting for life..
@@Hyrule_Origin Why are you making the argument that blue vs red cities are good and bad solely on economics. Most red states are some of the poorest in the U.S. Americans have been brainwashed on these issues. Economics of not owning a home is now a global G7 issue not just an American one. There are awful red vs red cities and awful blue vs blue cities. These people just want to live with people who are like them. Keep it real.
The reality is you have to live with others' mentality, which informs politics.
@@MyOutsideSocks Tell that to Gen Z.
"Help people relocate somewhere redder"? More like somewhere whiter.
Haha I agree! A bunch of hypocrites I'd say lol.
where it is safer. But since I am even consider last after even illegals I've been "put in my place" that the entitleds deemed NO MATTER how I worked and smart, 1st set up to steal my treasured belonging and "block" me...! Which I'd work NOT TO BE STUCK IN.
Good for them, people should go where they enjoy.
Beautiful! Kick rocks.
So what. People are tired of democrats moving into republican neighborhoods, voting blue no matter who and ruining their neighborhoods. Everytime democrats get elected you are 100 percent guaranteed higher taxes, less friendly people, anti American attitudes. If you don’t want that I don’t blame conservatives for moving. Not everything is about race. I’m sure this couple would be very happy if Ben Carson was their neighbor versus Gavin Newson.
Hope they do well, but Idaho & all of the red states can have them. Maybe in the future we can get some common sense stuff done without having to pander to the minority.
The locals are really happy about being priced out of their own real estate market by the transplants.
It's not the transplants. It's the real estate people who won't build houses.
And then increase the price of what little is left.
"Hey, we let people ruin our city now we are going to make it your problem by importing big city people to Idaho"
@@eksbocks9438real estate people do not build houses they sell them. Developers/ architects build houses.
Good for this couple. Go live where you want.There is nothing wrong with living with people who share your values.
Yeah, right! The Conservatives who uphold "Family Value" LOVE Donald Trump, a guy who had to pay hush money to an adult film star. LOL!
So did Clinton. Your point?
@@Ravi-rl8tt The Democrats don't talk about Family Value like the GOP. They are excused.
@@micnak3574 Because they have no family values
@@Ravi-rl8tttrump consistently cheated on all 3 of his wife. As well as while the third wife ‘s child was nearly 1 yr old. Clinton didn’t do that. There is a degree of wrong
@@Ravi-rl8tt You're one of those "whatabouters"
Idaho is WHITER than a bag of Wonder Bread!!
Sounds nice and quiet
@@Kr0nicDragon🤡
i.e. safe and livable!
At least you can buy a home in Idaho. Just look at all the progressive crybabies saying how they'll never afford buying their own home.
@@Hyrule_Origin you should look at current Idaho house prices... not cheap.
Not "Help people relocate somewhere redder"? but somewhere whiter.
I understand completely. I moved from a red state to a blue state many years ago and never looked back. After 35 years, I'd never live in a red state again. I'm proud my community is diverse, tolerant, generous and protective of our rights. Both the local and state government support each other and there's no in-fighting. It's neither woke nor conservative, but common sense. It's not perfect, but it's better than some of the other places I've been.
Im from the complete opposite, grew up in san fran...the violence, homeless, our governor, the racism is too much for me. SF was never this bad, i grew up in the 2000s and can still remember walking up and down geary without being afraid. I moved to a red city and love it here, never had to lock my doors, kids play until dark riding their bikes...very little crime , i feel safer and happier. People always ask me why i moved here because they think a big city in SF is so much better, they have no clue.
@@sew_gal7340 there is crime everywhere in red states the crime is even worse than blue states and the data shows that.
@@sew_gal7340 That isn't a red vs blue thing. You moved from a crappy city to a better one. You could have moved from a crappy red big city to a better red city. Likewise with blue. Why are you making it political and not economical /sociological? Some of the poorest places to live in America are in red states.
@@sew_gal7340 The rich liberals are the worst part. They always know how to gloat. But they don't do anything to help anyone.
They've already got money. So why should they care?
It's the dirt-poor Liberals who have it the worst. Because they get hate from everyone.
Don't you ever call a cop if you attacked or worse, because you have nulled your right to protection.
All the hate comments here show how prejudiced people are. I may not be a Trump supporter (never voted for him), but I would prefer to move to where I would feel at home. Why can't people just go where they agree with the politics suits them? Besides, wouldn't you rather they not be in your neighborhoods if you don't agree with them? Why the hate?
America was built off hate
Because the bullies want to keep people trapped in their world.
Like fish in a barrel.
No, I actually prefer to live in an area with a diversity of opinion. Limiting yourself to people who look and think like you only makes you more radical in the end and it makes it easy to spread misinformation about others.
Meanwhile Idaho is attempting to limit ability of girls/women to even travel out of state. Goodluck finding healthcare in Idaho.
@@melodramatic7904 All the comments obviously show that people are not open to diversity. We should want to be diverse, but I don't live in the city if I want to have farm animals because city ordinances don't allow it. So I move to where I can have livestock. I have respect if laws are passed because the majority of people voted that way, for instance high taxes. If I don't like it and I don't want to pay high taxes, I move, especially if I can't afford to pay it. But if I decide to move, why would I really want to stay if people are just going to say nasty things anyways? Aren't these comments proving why people would rather leave?
The red seeking Realtors better know that Boise is a blue pocket.....time to get in the pickup and head for the panhandle.
About 20-50% Dem up there, depending on county. Look at the results from the last few elections.
@@nwmacguy Doesn't matter. Liberals aren't willing to protect themselves. Or their friends.
@@nwmacguy They won't protect themselves. Or their friends.

Title is not correct. It's not Americans. It's MAGAs or Conservatives who are relocating.
God: "Love one another."
Humans: Nah, we're going to just move to a place where we like the people. People who are more like us and think the way we do. It's easier that way.
You know why God said it and why it's his greatest commandment? Because he knew it would be hard.

@@Ravi-rl8tt It's not bad, it's cowardice. Cult-like even
Nah they are doing the right thing, liberals can be too aggressive ,violent, angry, and crime is too high in blue cities. I say this while growing up in SF and though a liberal myself, the crime is too much here.
@@mike_k_smith1257 Guess I’m in a cult even though I’m willing to debate with others whose opinions differ from mine without censoring them

welp if it makes you feel better
I would call you a an extreme Kult to your face
I don't blame them. All these jerks constantly telling them that their life doesn't matter. So, they want to be around friends. To preserve their own mental health.
And besides. People keep saying, "If you don't like it: Leave."
So, why not let them? We're not a dictatorship. And they're allowed to have an avenue for escape. Regardless of what the bully says.
Media loves to make everything about “us vs them!” I think it helps get more clicks.
yeah, the second i saw a realtor call himself a 'Refugee resettlement specialist' i was reminded of how ignorant and out of touch people can be. Americans always have to have an enemy to feel victimized by, even if its themselves.
i won't say I'm absolutely disgusted, because frankly I've heard worse - from former President Trump,
but i will say i am getting more and more disappointed with the American people and their willingness to help divide the country for a quick partisan buck
The republican party has drifted a lot to the far right. With completely new topics like nativism, protectionism, autocratic support... this is really different from the original values of the conservative movement.
If you see the interventions in congress, the overwhelming majority of gop's representatives are loyal to the pre-trump republican party, they are opposing putin and the "law of guns", they are championing a low tax policy, free trade (except with China), the private sector...
But somehow, in the media and the presidential primaries, it is a minority that has taken the gop. With people like marjorie Taylor green, matt gaetz, Steve bannon... and they are imposing a style that is vulgare, polarising, in contradiction with the duty of exemplarity a politician must have
In reality, the same can be said for the Democrat Party because you never hear from the moderates, only the loudest far left progressive Democrats.
Both parties have been hijacked by extremists and that's why there is so much infighting. We need to oust the extremists in order to get this country to head in the right direction, but unfortunately most Americans are too nose-deep in their phones to notice how bad things are getting.
The Democrat Party moved to the Far Left.
Every independent study shows you are wrong but that's not surprising because you people are the least informed and exist in a bubble and pretty much resemble a cult.
And the democrat party has drifted a lot to the far left. This is really different from the original values of the democrat movement. Whats your point?
Irony is that Boise is becoming more liberal, but the rest of Idaho is becoming more Red.
So true .
So basically the same thing that has been happening in the US since…forever 🤷🏾♂️

No. You missed the point of the story. Go watch it again, but start at 1:14 this time.
Meanwhile Idaho and Texas attempting to limit even travel out of state of girls/women.
I would never want to live in a red state. Yikes!
I find it interesting that there are people in the comments who are upset that others are making a personal choice to move to areas where they feel most comfortable. They are simply exercising their free choice.
I don't see anyone who is upset. Also, people are free to express their opinion.
@@melodramatic7904 yea that's what I was thinking too, it was a great leap from most comments saying "so, they're moving....and" to "BLAH BLAH BLAH, YADA YADA YADA !!!!" , I didn't see that ....maybe it's because I have my rose colored glasses on--like the original comment or....???😁🤣🤣🤣
I respect this.🙏🏾 it’s very sad what’s happened to the US. Completely unrecognizable in every way
Areas in eastern WA are more red than Boise, lol.
Very true!
The difference between the number of "blow out" counties from '04 and '20 may be for a lot of reasons. One is gerrymandering. The other is that the GOP has gone from a center right party to a fascist one. This appeals to a lot of white Christian nationalists and doesn't to most others. In short, the real estate business is brutally competitive business and this "help you move to a redder area" sounds like a marketing gimmick. If you want to move to Texas, any real estate agent can help you. Also, the political views of the real estate agent is independent of the homes they show you, closing costs, etc.
It also doesnt help that the left is also swinging to a fascist state as well, creating wars in the east and killing thousands of children in paleestine.There is no middle ground any more, a lot of us are politically homeless.
Let the "poorly educated" conjugate together. A few less Trump signs in the "coastal elite' areas.
I did even better ,I moved out of the country .
Yeah I left Utah never going back
Are they really afraid of someone with a different opinion?
Thats not smart unless the economy infrastructure and all other factors match.
All this division is tearing this country apart 😢
I read this about 2 years ago.................We are told that America is divided beyond repair and we must take a stand against each other.
But we are more united than you think.
88% of Americans believe that forces in politics and the media are trying to pit us against each other - and it needs to stop.
When we truly look at each other, it is clear that most of us care about the same things.
We care about our communities, families and building a nation that not only tolerates, but respects differences.
If you think it's time to unite around an America with deep character,
Let’s stand as one
What’s crazy is that in a democracy you should be voting to change your state, not moving so obviously something is not adding up because so many people are needing to move to solve this issue
The majority rule. If you are in the minority it is hard to change things. Moving to where you are no longer the minority in some ways gives you the impression of having a voice. Whether or not that is true .... another matter.
With our foreign policies I am not sure if any place in the United States is safe.
Great! Just what us native Idahoans want and need, transplants helping more transplants. Our quality of life has went down exponentially the last 5-10 years because of you guys.
Lol. A lot of californians moved into Washington. I still curse them when I'm driving in rainy weather. Seriously! Learn to drive in the rain!
I have friends who lived in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles. They are liberals. As the area became more crime ridden and started deteriorating they moved to more conservative and safer Orange County. Unfortunately they continue to vote for the same liberal politicians which ruined the San Fernando Valley.
It's more than politics. Smart move, you only have one life. Enjoy
We are a military family leaving New York for Virginia. Similar demographics red in the more rural areas and blue in the cities and a mix in the suburbs. Much more about costs. 17k taxes to 3500.
Lower cost of living is def a good reason to move.

The prelude to civil war🥲
I get it, and it's a deeply concerning trend we're witnessing. The path we're on seems to be leading us toward a division based on political beliefs. What's worrying is the diminishing capacity for empathy and understanding towards those with differing opinions. I can't support that mindset. For instance, I have friends with conservative views I don't entirely align with, but that doesn't mean I'll end those friendships. Politics has become akin to a religion for some, driving people apart more than ever. If this continues, we could see a segregation reminiscent of the 1950s, but based on political affiliation - "conservatives only" or "liberals only" instead of racial segregation. It's as if the basic principles of humanity are being forgotten.
I like the "old" days (before 2016 and before the Frump cult) when politics along with religion didn't define the person or who you associated with or who you even bothered to associate with....remember when strangers smiled at each other and said "Hi!"? When it was always implied to "Never discuss politics or religion"?... Well, I recently moved to get away from all of that to an amazingly friendly, happy and very affordable place where everyone is warm, welcoming and family oriented! Today I walked about a half mile to a mom and pop store, because that's pretty much all they have here, to grab some freshly harvested organic produce, again because that's pretty much all they have here, and of the dozen or so people who I ran into along the way and while shopping every single one of them said "Good morning!" to me with a smile!...You may be wondering where this place is and if someplace like this even exists anymore....of course it does, but where I moved to they say "Buenas dias!" BTW- I grabbed a liter of some freshly squeezed organic orange, mango, coconut and banana juice for just over $2.00us and avocados where on sale for around $0.42us each. I also picked up a lunch of caught this morning fish tacos con todo (with everything!) for $27 pesos, or around $1.58us each!! Mucha suerte desde la hermosa Mexico!
I got FL out of my life great weather though!
Nah, I even loathed the weather! Glad I left!
Ugh. My son is heading to Michigan where Betsy Devoes owns everyone . I told him to go to Dem meetings to meet people like him.
Sometimes people who move to a state with lower taxes and regulations forget why they did it eventually. They miss the level of services in their state of origin and start voting for more.
great, go away
Two words: Electoral college
But is it a cult?
More division. We are super immature! In the end we should just draw a line, let those who want another nation make their won.
We are truly tiered fo the conservative victimized of them selves!
Fleeing crime and death is not immature.
Living by your own kind should be natural and acceptable, no matter who you are.
To leave my home because I disagreed with my neighbors politically is unthinkable to me-!
Conservatives are cry babies
BETTER LIFE FOR OUR KIDS.. SO THEY GROW UP RACIST.
This is great! Hopefully this will accelerate the breakup of the country. As a New Englander, I'd love to see an independent New England where voters from red states can't have a say in our politics/policies and I'm sure red staters feel the same about us. The marriage is over, time for the big divorce!
Totally agree here in western Washington state. Let them all leave for Idaho, Texas, Florida etc. I'm sick of their rage, bullying and BS. Hail Cascadia!
@@FalconAndTrident If you are a moderate to progressive then yes, come on in!

Living around ppl who all think like me and vote like me.. well, very North Korea like… I’ll pass, I like ppl who think differently as well as ppl who agree with me, I still believe it takes all types to make the world go around.
@@rasputinspickledpeepee1976 nope… but one thing about North Korea, everyone is pretty much the same and worships the same leader… this country is starting to worship certain leaders and blinded by the ignorance and corruption… when you only watch one channel for info you become indoctrinated… right or left
Unfortunately, North Korea has a better handle on birth rates, housing, and mental health.
I don't like it. But boundaries and "Big-Boy" jobs are something that Western countries still don't understand.
politics is nothing more than exploitation of insecurities.
To want to move big red defies logic to me. But then I see their white skin and their wealthy home and it makes sense.
Noting wrong with white and nice homes.
So you moved from a state with 12 electoral votes (Washington) to a state with two (Idaho). Sounds like they don't understand politics at all.
Hey! If a lot of them move to Idaho, wouldn't Idaho have more than 2?
Im a vehement liberal and i live in the middle of the most Republican state in the USA 🇺🇸
I am stuck in WA state in the Seattle suburbs. The Greed and squanderance of the State government here keeps everybody broke. The state of WA is poorly run and I would move to ID or OR in a minute if my wife would let me. The entire state of WA and OR is red except for the population centers of Seattle and Portland. In WA they tax everything including the rainwater (this is not a joke). Fuel is almost as high as CA and the State government does nothing for the people they fleece. But bums and able bodied people who wont work get a free ride. I am not a Trump supporter and actively campaign against him, but also campaign against every democrat in State government
Land does not vote. Trees do not have voting rights.
Corporations are people according to the right, so you never know…..
Cheaper cost of housing as well.
A lot of people there building homes like it's nothing. While liberals don't even want to touch a hammer.
What ever happened to universal basic income?
I feel the same way, that is why I choose to live in South Texas where Hispanics are 90% of the population. That means there are no alt-right racist rallies and white nationalist movements down here. Down here you see a few white women married to Hispanic husbands and vice versa . Many people are conservative here for sure but at least they are fellow Hispanic. I get it, sometimes it feels unsafe to be surrounded by people you know that just a couple generations ago they would have wanted to lynch you or through you into jail for refusing to sit at the back of the bus. Remote work has enabled many Americans to go where they are treated better.
Realtor is not a career, it's a hustle!
Its not smart because politics needs balance and some push back to be the best it can be when its needed. Concentrating a state purposely , they will find people redder or bluer than them and that could be too extreme for either party members on persona level. Sometimes Red benefits from a little blue and blue a little red. This country woulda been 1 party already if it didnt need the other. Those moving for those reasons need to be prepared mentally and maybe financially for dealing with policies that dont work for them that are their own parties.
The need for balance is what's missing in the discussions, debates, conversations, etc anymore--and I lay that square at the feet of the you-know-who's 😔😔😔
That was true once. But when a party becomes so exteme in its vision... Trump will not concede if he doesn't win. In order for there to be a two party system, they both have to agree on a set of rules. When a candidate lost, they admitted it. Now -- if I win, the election is fair. If I loose, the election is rigged. If we no longer can agree that elections choose, then we have a very big problem.
This is NOT what America is supposed to be like
Kinda of a clueless realtor if he thinks Boise is the second largest city in Idaho.
He's talking about Meridian.
Hilarious ! ! ! Who wants to move to Oakland? or Philly? or Chicago?
Me
🙄 o brother... Realtors, all you need to know.
Thank God. Politics isnt at the forefront of my mind but its right up there with alot of people.
Political views are boring.
Boise is one of the most overvalued housing markets in the US.
Idaho is just a better match for good white people anymore. Washington state used to be a refuge for them but then it turned too liberal or blue. California is similar.
Or maybe -- not so white?
nothing wrong with white people preferring to live with their own kind. Segregation is human nature, multikulti is not, which is why the latter needs a big police state and a mass media illusion machine in order to sustain itself.
13% of the USA is black, yet most blacks live in the same areas. Why didn't you make that video?
Kirby Wilbur is 100% a clown!
Whites only
This is a bs story. This is some realtors making money. End of story. (eyerolls)
Eh, those moving tend to bring their ideals with them because the politics they “identify with” to the state they moved to are either too conservative or liberal for their liking
I might not agree with my neighbors politically but I don't hate them or want to move to another state? This I do not understand.
Fix this title... As it should be... "White/Caucasian Americans running to places that support their political and personal views" to get away from other Americans of color to feel safe and supported to create an ethnostate. This is what this is and plain to see. Peace
Gross and disgusting!!! I need to move where people are more closed minded like me.
I don't see why not?
It's better that they're happy in their own close-minded town. Instead of demanding it on the rest of us.
I am an ultra-Conservative stuck in NJ
Just don't relocate to Russia. It's not as rosy as you've been led to believe.
And if going to red states, increasing their life expectancy.
I don’t blame them. I say make the red states redder!
Politics used to be a boring subject. Now politics seem to be tied with world-view and life choices. This started in the 90s and has only gotten worse.
