    It becomes more difficult to actually leave red states because affording to get the fuck out is nearly impossible.

    Not just affordability. My kid is in college for education and has already been warned about the trade off with moving somewhere cheap but also with lower education standards, lower pay, lower respectability for educators. Republicans might be ok with the brain drain helping them stay in power, but I don’t see how the residents are ok with being left further and further behind

      If I go off my state… they just cover their ears and scream real loudly and ignore the problem.
