If only that were happening.
Instead rich liberals who hate their cities move to cheaper and freer places and then vote the same way.

If the country split the south would become the worlds superpower.

I’m sure all your gender studies gen X people will grow to very productive mid stage adults and be great caretakers for Wall Street and Silicon Valley.
I’ll take my chances with our coalition over the mentally unstable pro criminal left.
The migration out of the liberal ****hole city centers would be a sight to behold.

What's really funny is they have no freaking clue. How much federal money goes into Texas.

“However, as the CFO for Texas, I remain concerned that Texas continues to be a donor state with Texas taxpayers sending more tax dollars to Washington than we get back. But we also have important partnerships with Federal institutions that are key to the state and national economy as well as national security,” he continued.
Pointing to an agency study, Hegar added, “US military installations in Texas contributed $123.6 billion to the Texas economy in 2019 and directly employed more than 225,000 people. Those installations are part of the fabric of our communities and are crucial to local and regional economies.”
And that's basically the only Southern State that's got a shot.

I don't see it. NYC's 7 day average us 20K US's is 239K
She seems to be going off 1 day but considering it involves Christmas on a weekend averages is a better stat to look at. We'll see in a bit.
Also I wouldn't toot florida's horn, they're hockey sticking just like the other states. Their 14 day change is one of the highest in the nation. Depending on where you count DC and PR.

https://reason.com/2021/12/29/goodbye-and-good-riddance-to-bill-de-blasio-a-terrible-mayor-on-every-issue-he-tripped-over/
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, a bumbling punchline of a politician, is finally leaving office at the end of the year, and what better time to give the outgoing mayor a good old-fashioned Bronx cheer?
It's tempting to review de Blasio's seven-year tenure and focus on the clownish moments: accidentally killing a groundhog on Groundhog Day; dressing up in Spock's blue Starfleet uniform and calling himself Captain Kirk; hitting his favorite gym while the rest of the city was under onerous COVID-19 lockdowns.
But then you'd miss the spectacular failures and hypocrisies of his policy initiatives.
…
The mayor was hostile to just about every other issue Reason cares about. He has a longstanding vendetta against charter schools. He loathed the concept of private property and threatened to seize buildings from landlords. "Look, if I had my druthers, the city government would determine every single plot of land, how development would proceed," he once said.
(Meanwhile, in 2018 the Justice Department sued the New York City Housing Authority, claiming that city officials systematically worked to cover up squalid conditions in public housing projects, including hiding test results on lead paint exposure.)
On a lighter note, there was the time de Blasio ran for president. It's hard to pick the best moment from de Blasio's embarrassing 2020 presidential campaign, but for my money, it was when he traveled to Miami and approvingly quoted Che Guevara.
De Blasio's candidacy was so ill-conceived and poorly executed that he polled at 0 percent in New York City. New Yorkers may be gluttons for punishment when it comes to electing mayors, but even they didn't want to inflict de Blasio on the rest of the country.
And that was all before de Blasio's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, where he, for example, threatened to have Hasidic Jews arrested for gathering at the funeral of a rabbi. Or who could forget when he repeatedly asserted, contrary to available evidence and to the annoyance of his own health department, that only symptomatic people could transmit the virus?
His only real flashes of political acumen were when he was ribbing disgraced former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a thin-skinned blowhard and fellow authoritarian who couldn't help but take the bait.
De Blasio's "progressive" tendencies only manifested themselves in authoritarian diktats against New Yorkers who weren't powerful enough to fight back. He never had a real interest in taking on the injustices perpetrated by the government he ostensibly controlled. The best thing you could say about Bill de Blasio was that he was good for a laugh, but the joke got old far before he was term-limited out of Gracie Mansion. Goodbye and good riddance.

Game. Set. Match. Maybe thethe is right the momentum is swinging … just gotta hope they can admit error and vote R on some issues after they move. If they are like our resident Dems they will never admit a mistake and double down
People who laughed at thethe over this don't understand long term trends. The south will become the economic power of this nation in a few generations.
Stupid leftists are dispelling all the real men from the military. Those guys are going to go into state police forces in sourthern nations when we jack up law enforcement investment. Southern states will be safe havens for families. It will draw from all across the world and not just the failed northern states. Big difference is we are going to control who comes in or not.
