I’ve been wondering about this, in particular in a covid, wfh, world. So many people from traditionally liberal areas (SF/NY/LA) moved to red states, I would assume that it would be assist in turning those states more purple, as some of those states (wyoming/montana/Idaho) won’t take that many transplants to start that transition.
Wyoming would be the easiest to change, frankly, and even one red state flipping to purple (or even blue) would change the Senate landscape incredibly. It’s nice here; almost all small towns, and even in some of the larger ones it’s easy to walk to work instead of driving.
I feel that Wyoming gets a bad rap, it’s not that bad of a state. Some areas, just like all states, are pretty shit… but I love Wyoming. I would move there in a heartbeat if I could.
Montana, too. I passed through Montana on a road trip, and spent a bit of time in Billings. The area is beautiful and there just happened to be a very nice art walk through their little downtown area at the time. I told my friend who was with me that, if I ever mysteriously disappear, she should look for me in Montana.
Oh, for sure. It’s only 120k that separated Trump/Biden in 2020 in Wyo. NYC alone lost almost 500,000 people to pandemic migration.
Montana was only 99k difference between trump/biden… and we know that a metric SHIT pile of people moved to Montana in 20-23. (Looking at you Bozeangeles)

And how nice is it if you are the “wrong” kind of person?
