  1. In the last several weeks, I have seen a number of articles / polls about this : movement from urban to suburbs / rural. I see this poll includes crime as one of several variables. Many do not and gloss over the predominant reason minorities are moving is after the season of marxist black lives matter / antifa destroying urban centers.

    These new residents should have to attend a “class” (the left loves to indoctrinate) where they go through the funding / goals of these groups and specifically who they support.

  2. I know personally 14 families who fled nyc to go to florida, for medical freedom. I know 50 more through friends. We are overwhelmed by crooks and pharma shills here and while we are fighting, many families have lost schooling, jobs and their homes. Now the Empire pass is the final straw for many. Our politicians have gone off the deep end. People have taken their red votes with them, which were meaningless in this area, and will fortify and strengthen other places that still believe in freedom. Having been here through 9/11 when people were amazing and stood together, this is in stark contrast. I attribute that to the quality of leadership we had back then.
