(46,436 posts)Some of us have actually been trying to get Californians (the liberal ones, anyway) to move on up here. Alaska would get more liberals, and Californians could remember what water is like.
In fact, Jeanne Devon of The Mudflats posted this on her Facebook page last week:
Here's my diabolical plan for the day: I want a really gay-friendly city that is becoming so gentrified that its residents are being forced to flee (I'm looking at you San Francisco) to send up a few hundred transports filled with new Alaskan voters. They can stay for a few years - call it a missionary trip - until we vote out all the bigots in the legislature. As it stands now, with the most recent polling, the majority of Alaskans are in support of same-sex marriage, and a whopping 71% believe in some kind of legally recognized union between same-sex partners. It's not us, it's them. So come on, SF! Send us your displaced, your non-Google employees, your heretofore middle class yearning to be free!
