I watched the Red State-Blue State migration pattern in action twice. First when tax refugees from Massachusetts moved to New Hampshire in the 1970-80s and turned NH. The turned NH bright Blue in 10 years . The same thing happened in the 1990s when economic migrants from California to Colorado turned Colorado blue by 2010.

It happened exactly as Peterson describes, the state GOPs in NH and Colorado had no coherent response when their new citizens began demanding all of the socialist and progressive bells and whistles from their old state in addition to low taxes and economic opportunity of their new state.

This is long overdue. The red states have been filled with lotus eaters and the time has come to snap out of it and put our shoulders to the wheel.
