I suspect part of the appeal is it's not permanently blue.

People always complain about the downsides of all these blue areas but at the end of the day there is still a massive population that continue to live there. For example: Exodus from California is mainly limited to people making less than 100k a year. People making more than that actually increased their population in California. So this is mainly a rich vs poor issue. I'm excited at the prospect of transforming some of the rural states into a mindset of progressivism. It will help prevent some of the gridlock that is holding back the country from trying big bold ideas.

I mean it's pretty much known that rich people can avoid nearly any consequence intended or unintended of politicians......

It's why people view the ability to ignore politics as a privilege having the resources to just avoid whatever they happen to do gives you a massive degree of freedom.

Also aren't these progressive policies supposed to have helped people on the lower end of the economic scale rather then forced them out?
