I've read that there are two different types of people fleeing the blue states. Group I are conservative leaning people that are simply sick of dealing with all the CA, IL, NJ, NY nonsense. Those people actually making TX, TN and FL more red. Group II are the people relocating because their company has uprooted and moved to a red state. That's a lot of the Bay area companies moving to Austin, Houston or San Antonio. Those people keep voting like dingbats and make the state more blue.
It's funny/weird, when I first started doing biz in Silicon Valley in the early/mid 90s, it was filled with a bunch of libertarians, and "Don't Tread on Me" actually meant something. I don't know what's in the water, but the tech world now has embraced DC. I suppose once you're on top, you're happy to have tons of gov't regulation which raises the costs of entry for your competition, and affords you a comfy, cozy oligopoly with your rich friends/competitors.
You want to know who's in the smoke filled room cutting deals to screw the people over? It's not conservatives, I assure you.
