That's It- I'm Moving!

[eddiememphis]

This is the most ridiculous thing yet. Ten cents per bag at the grocery store! Then a ban on them.

I am not sure why this is the one that pushed me over the top, but it had been a burr under my saddle since I heard about it yesterday.

I have decided I need to move. This state is driving me nuts and I don't see an easy remedy. Yes, the likely solution is to get involved, run for office, etc. but that has no appeal to me.

I need to get out while the home prices are high so I can cash out and buy a place where ever I decide to go.

So...

Where to go?

If you dont mind the snow. Go north. If you're also done shoveling most of the time head south.

I?ll concur with some of the other statements above. We moved back to FL about 3 years ago and can confirm that it is taking in more transplants from ?Blue? states that ever before. Time will only tell if they bring their voting habits with them, but I?m guessing they are going too.

I'd go to Sam's Club and buy a box of 500 of those bags for $15.00. Keep them in your car and bring them in with you.

Dont move because of politics. You wont win. The cancer is spreading throughout the country. IF you like Colorado, stay. I know people in states that have been conservative strongholds that complain about the takeover daily. South Carolina and Florida come to mind. Many states people just havent been paying attention. Colorado has had many many more democrat Governors since its becoming a state. It was never quite as conservative as people remember. (not militantly left though)

It doesnt matter how many gun owners or conservatives people think their states have. The big cities in all 50 states will always be able to out vote the rest of the state. It doesnt even have to be that many big cities to ruin a state. Colorado landwise is mostly conservative. However the 7 county metro area destroyed the whole rest of the state. Of course not everyone in those counties is a liberal and the majority still screws everyone.

Pick somewhere you like and stay. (unless you are the kind of person who just likes moving, in which case disregard the advice)

This.

Pretty sure the paper bags are still free. Or do what I do in Boulder when the self checkout asks how many plastic bags you have and just press the "No Bags" button..

Not for long. They jammed those on there too.

OP, good luck on your move.

I'd avoid states that are actively courting business from liberal states like CA & NY. The only thing that has done is bring more leftist thinking to those states. TX is a good example, where the political landscape, is very slowly shifting. As we saw in CO, but the activist have spent money and lots of time trying to get tx dark blue. Thankfully they failed in 20, but it's not a state i would recommend.

Sadly there is no "perfect" state, for gun owning individuals. Whose politics are right of center, usually voting R tickets.


AZ has a few blue strongholds. With that said. I am seeing a lot, as in a lot, of CA transplants. A lot of them have gravitated to the outdoor range i work at.
Granted there's some leftist in the state. But, the amount of "finally free to buy what they want" without a waiting period.
Combined with Constitutional & open carry, has really drawn a lot of gun owning, right of center refugees, here.

OK has potential, if you like fire ants and tics, but i believe that might be one of the last dark red states. I couldn't live there, based on numerous stays with friends, in various parts of the state. But that's my choice.

WY and SD are nice, as well as parts of MT. But you really have to like cold weather, like artic temps occasionally through the winter months Or as it's called in PC terms. A Canadian Cold front.

We moved back to Wichita Kansas (the city we're originally from) but we looked real hard at Rapid City, SD ... it looks like a good place.

Says the guy living in Wyoming

Look, eventually the left will destroy everything. Moving because of politics isn't a bad idea if you decide to move to a place that will be part of one of the new nations that will rise out of the ashes of the USA when it falls apart.
