It will be time for them to move to blue America.

Easier said than done more than likely...expenses and all that. Some people can not easily pack up and move for various reasons.

That before they get taxed in to oblivion for all of "free" shit they hope to receive.  I expect them to go the way of Venezuela in about the same amount of time Chavez and Maduro took to do the job.

Gabrielle, none of this would be easy. It's not easy now, and things are going to get much worse now. There's no illusions on that.

Interesting though isn't it. Your concern is valid. However, we blue states have not had much luck helping the soon-to-be victims of Trump's America, have we? The red states have blocked our every move for 36 years and counting. If we stay in the union, there will be no difference in the level of help you get under the Trumps. What we have now is total stalemate and regression. It's only the blue states who provide any help or protection for their residents. If you live in a red state, you are already shit outta luck.

Oh Galen, California has already had its full of all that. We're still doing OK. But it's a big challenge as it is, no doubt. Immigration from down south is slow now, and no doubt Trump will slow it down more. So we'll be ready for a smaller wave from red America.

I hear your cry though, Galen. It looks like you'll have to move too. Oregon will likely come along with us. You might as well move so you don't have to endure all the snowflakes.
