Piggybacking off of Stefan Stanford’s piece about our “Escape from New York Future,” from last week, there are some recent reports that once again prove without a doubt that the liberal policies in blue states California and New York, just to name two, are destroying lives, livelihoods, and that destruction is bleeding over into red states.
Starting with the blue state bleed, we see that in California, for example, we see recent community poll from Strategies 360 , along with an LA Times piece, that exemplifies how liberal state policies are welcome by the citizens of those states, until said policies destroy the safety and atmosphere of the states, then those same people that voted for those destruction liberal policies are running fast and hard to red states.

The results are astounding for their contradictions:
• (71%), report that living in California is important to their personal identities (68%), and say California is a place where they fit in and feel comfortable (68%). The state’s diversity is a viewed as a major benefit of living here: by a 20-point margin, residents say it “brings people together around new ideas and vibrant communities” rather than creating “tension and division between groups who have different needs and priorities.”
• Californians face deep economic anxieties. Satisfaction with the state economy has dropped 12-points since 2020, including 5-points since last year. Residents are largely dissatisfied with the cost of their healthcare, the amount they pay for their home, and the cost of everyday living expenses (18% satisfied, 81% dissatisfied). The data also suggests that Californians personally feel less financially secure than they did in previous years: only 28% of those in households making $50k-$100k annually report that they can live comfortably and save an adequate amount of money for the future, down from 54% who said the same in early 2020. Similarly, just 57% of those in households making over $100k annually say they can live comfortably and save an adequate amount of money for the future, down from 77% who said the same in early 2020.

According to LA Times (Archive.is link here) 40% of Californians are considering packing up and leaving.
Yet large swaths of residents are also considering packing up and leaving. Many also believe that the state is headed in the wrong direction, and are anxious about the direction of the economy and their ability to pay their bills.
Add those people to the 500,000+ people that have already packed up and hauled butt out of the state since 2020, and we take a couple of things away from these contradictions.
1.) Liberals love the policies of the blue states.
2.) Liberals do not like the ramifications of said policies, which includes the high crime rate, which has driven many big box stores and chains right out of many of the most liberal cities of CA.
“You can’t even carry a purse, I don’t. I’m scared. I don’t wear my jewelry that I used to wear. It’s just totally different now from back when I was living in Chinatown,” said Lum.
“I used to be proud to be called a San Franciscan, a native Californian. Now I’m not. I’m totally disappointed,” said Fong.
City leaders said statistics showed San Francisco is a safe city compared to other large cities, but Lum and Fong said they don’t need to look at the crime statistics.
They pointed to the open-air drug markets. They said there’s no stat for the type of street condition seen in the Tenderloin.
Lum said people selling drugs and doing drugs out in the open won’t make it on any stat sheets, but just seeing it makes her and other people feel unsafe to walk down those streets.
