Just leave your politics back in California.
I see that in Oregon as well, moving here because they destroyed California with their politics. My concern is they will move like locusts consuming all the resources and leaving a wasteland behind like they did in California. I can already see where they are starting to do that in Oregon.
“fox news”
Cosmic, if you have a better source that says otherwise, then use that. Just saying ““fox news”” is just lazy
Rule 3, just a friendly warning.
The only good news source to such folks is that which parrots their ideology.
Anything else is “far right” or “biased”.
More importantly, whatever right-leaning bias Fox used to have was clearly dropped during the 2020 election.
For our friend who didn’t even bother to read the article and finding the link to the study before being dismissive:

No, thats not the case. To paraphrase, it’s because fox News has been peddling conspiracy theories, pseudoscience, propaganda, has used poor sources, and has failed numerous fact checks:

If you want a good source, go to AP news, Reuters, the hill, BBC, etc. Fox News is a trash source.
Here’s the thing. You actually bothered to say something about fox news, claimed that they are a poor source, and backed that up with a citation. Cosmic did not. It’s still just sealioning, and I distrust that citation because they rate CNN as mostly factual, but in any case, you actually put in some work. (And for the record, I understand that you guys distrust fox news. I would point you to the study they cited, and in turn the publicly available census data instead.)
CNN is atrocious for bias, but at least in comparison to say fox news, they’re much more factual. Far, far from perfect, but significantly better.
And that’s fine. But that’s not what a link to fox news is.
Thx for linking to the study. I couldn’t read the Fox News link…something about a paid article.
In any case, if it’s true that Gen Z is heading to the red state of Texas by fleeing blue states like California for better living…then what does it mean that the top 5 states being left by Gen Z are Mississippi, Alabama, and Iowa, all of which are red states? Are they fleeing bad Republican policies for marginally better ones?
Or can we just admit that thinking of people moving to particular areas within large states is reductive and we’re basically not arguing about anything at all? Because though Gen Z may be moving to Texas, they may (I don’t know for sure since it’s not in the study) be moving to more liberal areas of the state. In which, to say they’re leaving California for “better living” is true…but it’s not true in the political sense, merely in the economic.
Reading is tough. People on the left like to be told what to think. It is one of the strangest things to me.
I find it interesting so many people are moving from areas they destroyed with bad politics to areas where their politics are less tolerated.
It is why I didn’t move to Portland. I knew my politics were different and I didn’t want to fund their disaster. I moved to a more Red town and live in the nicer red part of that city.
The issue many blue states have is their tax base is moving away. Citadel Financial listed taxes and crime as why they moved their HQ out of Chicago.
That is why it is like a locust, once they’ve destroyed the blue states, they will try to move to the red states to destroy those.
