I have often thought that the Democrats are intentionally wrecking the States they control in order to get some of their base to flee to Red controlled States... in an attempt to spread out and turn traditionally Red areas Purple or even Blue altogether.
It's like a virus spreading, and infecting other parts of the Country.
The Dems that are relocating from say California and New York into the Red States will continue to vote Dem, even though they fled from the Dem policies that wrecked their home States to begin with.
The Democrats are just force migrating their herd of idiots to gain more votes in Congress down the road.
