Every year, millions of Americans bounce around the country like electrons, moving from one state to another. But there are patterns in this chaos, and one of the clearest in recent decades is that Americans are moving from blue states to red states. As the Opinion video above explains, that has some big political implications for the Democrats.

The migration of blue state republicans to already deep red states are ruining it for the rest of us. Stay and fight, we would be better off trying to flip blue states to at least purple
More GOP supporting people move to Red states. I'll be one of them soon.
Ah Democrats again not taking responsibility and failing to actually listen to what EVERYONE is SAYING. It absolutely does have to do with the policies and beliefs of democrats. Democrats notoriously ruin housing markets due to greed. They also allow their states to be overrun by crime and drugs because they decriminalize and offer freebies to attract junkies. The people who disagree with that crap, including myself, are leaving. You guys can keep your dem shitholes.
Anybody notice that the states fighting illegal immigration deportations are the same states that folks flee?
Now just take a pause at 00:44. Does anyone realize the reason states are getting redder are that they are fleeing the government that they voted in? Then they descend upon other communities, like locusts, destroying everything in their paths.
Of course it's all going to turn red why would it be blue they got no policies they're too busy with the rioter helping them do ther campaign 🤔
This is such a good thing!!
Thats why we should remove illegal immigrants from the census. California could lose upwards of 20 eletoral votes
from what i've noticed as a teacher for 25 years, when Democrat parents movie to a Republican state, their children tend to lean Republican.
Dems have been begging for a comeuppance for a long time. They hit peak stupid during Trumps 1st term and went nuclear during Biden years/covid. Time to pay the Piper and the bill is large and will take a long time to pay.
I’m glad the Dems lost
Hey guys, NC might be red outside but it's blue inside. Look it up.
Blue states are run by morons. Even some liberals would rather live somewhere that you can actually live.
I'm laughing! America is not getting redder. President Trump sold out the voters and sold out America when he took office and started abusive behavior in 2025. You're dealing with a dictator and that's Trump!
The democratic party at one time probably was a decent part of the government .but now they are the new hitler wanting only to benefit their selves instead of whats best for us.
Dems about to pretend to be Reps again.
That’s great news actually. Only the losers that sit in the minority with believe that was bad news.
problem is they also bring their leftwing political voting and that could swing the power in the red state .don't turn our rec state into your crappy blue state
There is a less than zero chance Democrats will change anything 😂
Funny how states can increase their population but lose both electoral votes and congressional seats simply because the population by a higher percentage more in another state. This could be fixed by increasing the number of congressional seats from 435 to at least 600 – BECAUSE THE LAST TIME IT INCREASED WAS THE 1940s, AND OUR POPULATION HAS DOUBLED SINCE THEN! The most populous states have had devalued vote power, while the least have boosted theirs – tipping the balance toward the few and silencing the voices of the many.
Unless Elon splits the vote
It has everything to do with taxes, family values, and lawlessness.
An honest analysis of the regulatory barriers on building new homes in blue states would have been a breath of fresh air. Blue state environmental regulations make housing more expensive than it has to be.
As long as they keep pushing lgbtq and promoting evil stuff to kids I will never vote for them ever again
But hey if we count people here illegally, CA can get more seats!!!
Why would any American vote for any American destroying socialist communist demon-crat?
Only netto 9 million people in communist states have had enough of communism and woke lunatics. You can be better than hammericans! Greetings from communist 🇬🇧
With Governors like Gavin Newsom, it's not surprising these states are seeing mass migration out. Blue politicians don't care about the little guy anymore, only the special interests.
