I would advise leaving red states if possible and within your means

There’s a doctor right now who may not be able to leave New York for fear of extradition to the red state (Louisiana) charging her with prescribing abortion pills.

I *personally* do not care for the ugliness of people with means leaving poor people to fend for themselves.

I hate that take so much.

Also, people in red states are doing so much work to fight back. Telling them to fall on their swords or to just give up on the fight is garbage.

I believe in sanctuary, we are a sanctuary state and I've spent decades teaching bullet boys to US endangered Kurds because F yeah, that's what we must do as human beings who believe in human beings... but also... I'd like to offer a service announcement for privileged ppl...

I'm selling my blood to afford rent in my blue state because of the demo driving up already barely livable rent prices. Gentrification was already here. Now, we the poor, are falling on OUR swords in blue states to accommodate the influx of largely privileged folks fleeing their red states.

It isn't the poor, after all, who can & are leaving too much of the time. It's middle class, almost exclusively white folks coming in & it's readily obvious. And they aren't even useful leftists, they're bringing some BIG NIMBY energy that we have waaaaay too much of already.

Who's to know if there is any national collaboration but I'm inclined to think red states would encourage anyone who dislikes their policies to move out. This resegregates their population and consolidates their power. win win win if you consider they'll still get federal dollars.

I've been liberal in a red state for 30 years and these MFers would like nothing better than to drive me, and everyone like me, out

Not a fan of blue staters telling me to move, or saying that red states should be completely defunded and the poor here deserve hardship for living in the wrong place

I find it encouraging that you can be empathetic towards your poorer neighbors. Well done, that's the place for you.
