The leftist are unhappy where they are and with red states they are fleeing to
Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) has an idea of how to handle Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA) concern over blue state residents moving to red states. He thinks she should be expelled from Congress.
The indignant tweet from Bowman (whose brand is indignation) came over a Twitter thread to which MTG responded. A Twitter user announced his decision to move from the Bay Area in California to Miami and included some pros and cons to the move. The cons included “worse politics” and guns. He tweeted about his decision in conjunction with a piece he wrote on his website. The title of his piece is ” The American Dream is on Life Support in the Bay Area” and he addresses the decision to move away.
So, here we go. I’m moving out of the Bay Area.
This is obviously not a fresh opinion; but the framing may be slightly controversial. My biggest reason is that I believe the Bay Area is no longer the best crucible for the American Dream. 🧵 https://t.co/00BwcbJSPS

His tweet thread goes through reasons for his departure – no longer feeling safe in the Bay Area, the political animus, hostility to small businesses, and so on. He gives the same reasons that others do for moving. However, his mention of Florida politics set off the associate editor of Chronicles Magazine, Pedro Gonzalez. Gonzalez response is that liberals moving to red states should have a waiting period before being allowed to vote and be “taxed for their sins.”
This guy is moving from California to Florida because he can't stand living in the mess that lib politics created and he *still* has the audacity to talk down to Floridians about their politics. Libs are a cancer. They are the absolute worst people in this country. https://t.co/3naThdjoGV

I support actively discriminating against transplants like this through legislation. They shouldn’t be able to vote for a period, and they should have to pay a tax for their sins.

The guy was popping off and none of what he suggests will come to pass because there are First Amendment issues here as well as voting rights and tax laws. What I think he is doing is voicing frustration at the fact that liberals destroy the cities in which they live with their politics and policies. He doesn’t want to see red states go the same route. That is understandable but his solutions are not acceptable. Discrimination is not the way to go.
So, MTG responded. Shocker, I know. She brought up the concept of National Divorce.
All possible in a National Divorce scenario.
After Democrat voters and big donors ruin a state like California, you would think it wise to stop them from doing it to another great state like Florida.
Brainwashed people that move from CA and NY really need a cooling off period. https://t.co/NB2dVj7n2X— Marjorie Taylor Greene 🇺🇸 (@mtgreenee) December 29, 2021
The idea of a “national divorce” or some kind of legal separation of red states and blue states, prompted by a polarized political climate, popped up earlier this year. Left-wing comedian Sarah Silverman floated the idea in September, proposing dividing up into “two or three different countries” based on ideology.
About 4 in 10 Biden voters and half of Trump voters think that it is time to split up the country and favor states seceding from the United States, according to a University of Virginia survey conducted this summer.
Critics, though, say that a national divorce would be impractical and ineffective for conservatives.

What the leftist migrants are finding is that guns in the hands of citizens are not as scary as they thought they would be and that life in the red states is actually better on many levels. It also helps that taxes are not as high and the roads are better.
