Thoughts:

1. Moving is hard. Even harder for people that have little means. Living in the state you're comfortable isn't going to work for a lot of people.

2. Currently, it doesn't feel like "the state you're comfortable in" will be that way for long in this country.

3. Moving to a country you're comfortable in is the same principle, so why not do that if you're already comfortable moving?

But to play this card,

discuss

Also, don't forget that a lot of blue states (if that's where someone wants to live) have been really bad at providing enough housing, so are pretty difficult for someone to move to if they don't have a lot of money.

-- I'd think that if you wanted to progress your country and change it toward your perspective - it would take folks moving to the areas they're uncomfortable to do the work in those communities - from an outside perspective it seems the conservatives are going to swallow the liberals in the states simply because they're more comfortable literally going to other areas of the country to change/bolster views? (I don't live in the USA)- however - I suppose that's a lot to ask - that said- it's fairly common in some countries --
