So if you want to get out of a red state what blue state would you

[rurallib]

move to? Or would you move to a blue part of a red state?

Or is Canada the choice?

[Beachnutt]

1. After last night Michigan is looking pretty good

[catbyte]

8. Yeah, our winters may suck, but we succeeded in taking out the trash. It took 4 years,

but we broke the stranglehold the MIGQP had on the state. They controlled everything and now they control nothing. I still can't believe we actually flipped both houses of the legislature. That anti-gerrymandering prop passing in 2020 was everything.

2. Won't you please come to Chicago

Not a fair answer because I am from Chicago. I'm not in a red state. I just felt like posting this.

[GreenWave]

9. Don't ask Jack to help you...

[Plectranthus]

3. Come to Illinois

Chicago is a nice city, lots of concert venues if you love live music like me

[mucifer]

4. Ha! posted almost the same as you

[blm]

5. Go to a purple state and help turn it blue.

Like North Carolina or Georgia.

[SheltieLover]

19. This!👆

NC likely destination for me. Hopefully soon!

[mnhtnbb]

24. Oh, goody! There are quite a few of us DU'ers here in NC.

What part of NC are you coming to?

[SheltieLover]

26. I used to live in Asheville & Charlotte region.

Asheville has gotten way too expensive, so thinking Charlotte burbs somewhere.

Where are you?

I hate TN. Vehemently detest this place & very much want to move back to NC.

It would be so awesome to be near other DUers, do lunch, campaign together, get into some "good trouble!"

Omg just thinking about the possibilities I feel like I want to start packing!

[mnhtnbb]

23. Yes, come to North Carolina

There are several areas of predominantly Democrats: the Triangle (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill); Charlotte; Asheville; Boone; Greensboro/Winston/Salem; and others that may be about half Dems and half Repubs. A lot of the rural parts of the state are admittedly red.

[SheltieLover]

28. When I 1st moved there in 2012 from Chgo burbs

I could not understand why Charlotte proper was so much more expensive than the outlying areas. This was the exact opposite of Chgo, for the most part.

I asked a lot of people & they just looked at me like I had 2 heads.

Ya, it didn't take long to figure out that the cities had no rednecks. There were no such vile creatures in suburban Chicago. None at all. Incomprehensible, as is the stupidity & violent crime rate here.

6. If you want to stay in the midwest, Illinois and Michigan look good.

I ended up moving from Johnson County to Boulder County, CO (relatives here).

[JPPaverage]

7. We're thinking Illinois.

Right across the river and I have several relatives there. But we have to wait until 2023 because of scheduled repairs to our house. After that, we can sell it.

10. My daughter met a guy from Minnesota at Texas A&M

He has graduated and going to Medical School in Minnesota/Mayo Clinic. She is moving up there after graduation. My wife and I are looking at moving to Minnesota. Somewhere around St. Paul maybe. Tired of the Texas politics and I like cold weather. With climate change it might not be a bad place in the future

[rurallib]

12. My kids lived in a suburb of the cities for about ten years

They loved it. Except for the winter that can last until May some times. Beautiful trees, lots of recreation and some of the most unique stores and dining in any city.

[Beachnutt]

11. Or if you're retired you can hook up your RV

and go stay in several blue states until you find the perfect one...

[rurallib]

13. good idea

[Elessar Zappa]

14. I'm in a relatively blue state (NM)

but I’d move to Vermont if I could. I’ve visited there and it’s towns are picturesque, it has beautiful foliage, plenty of snow and is the bluest state in the union. The only downside that I can see is the lack of ethnic diversity.

[rurallib]

15. Good choice - I think New England in general is a good choice.

[Elessar Zappa]

16. Yes, I'd live in any New England state except

for Connecticut because it’s too expensive lol.

[hay rick]

31. Considering New Mexico. Would love to leave Florida. nt

[pandr32]

17. We moved to Hawaii Island and love our life here.

[tazkcmo]

18. Leaving Misory for Oregon.

While Midwestern people are generally kind, there's still too much racism, intellectual laziness and the weather truly sucks.

[rurallib]

20. I don't think midwesterners are so kind any more

we have been turned in recent years

[tazkcmo]

21. Hasn't been my experience

But then I'm a white veteran. I'm 100% sure it would be different if I wasn't. It's one of the reasons I'm leaving.

[doc03]

22. I like Ohio but some of the people suck. I would pick

Colorado, VA or NC. They have to be more Blue than Ohio.
A few years ago I wanted to be a Snowbid in Florida now I don't even visit there.

[Submariner]

25. I'm getting the F out of Florida

It really got awful in Dec 2020, about 6 weeks before the first vaccine, when Disantis and his anti-mask, anti-vaccine Surgeon General told the world “Come on down for vacay, no masks needed, and we offer cremation services as soon as you’re unplugged from the ventilator”.

Planning a move to the Berkshire Mountain area of my home state.

[vercetti2021]

27. We are actually soon

My fiance and I will be moving likely to CO to Estes Park since she has extended family there. So we would have a step in the right direction

[SheltieLover]

29. V! You're engaged?!?!?

You didn't tell me! Congrats!

[vercetti2021]

30. I made a lounge post :)

Hang on I'll send you it.

[SheltieLover]

33. Thx! Going to look.

[SheltieLover]

34. Awwwww. I'm so happy for you, V!

Thx for sharing your joy with us! When are you making it official?

I thought I'd read Friday, but reread it twice & it doesn't say that. Long day...

Congrats!

[vercetti2021]

35. Thank you

This coming week we are and we are gonna break the news at Thanksgiving. Might make it bad, might make it good. But both our families agreed to having one big gathering this year

[SheltieLover]

37. Nice!

Best wishes to you both!

Thx again for sharing!

[Ohio Joe]

32. Come to Colorado...

It’s pretty freakin awesome here

[vercetti2021]

36. We are most likely!

Estes Park!

[Different Drummer]

38. Pennsylvania for me. n/t
