Colorado got totally ruined due to Californians moving in. Californians are trying to do the same with Texas. Although I know a few Californians who escaped before being corrupted, the average Californian is like a plague of locusts. They move into a state, vote for tyranny, taxes, and handouts, drain the state dry, and then move on to the next state. Somehow they never figure out that it is their views and their votes that ruins each state in succession.

I did not have migrating Californians are like a plague of locusts on my nostr bingo card….
In my opinion, Austin is worse thanks to lefty Californians but Texas overall is better thanks to conservatives fleeing the Left Coast
From what I understand Colorado was a pretty moderate state 20 years ago, and the lefties took over on the back of zillionaire money targeting local elections, rather than migration; however it may be a chicken-and-egg thing as a moderate state can easily tip one way and then start attracting migration towards that ideology.
