   California, Illinois, and New York on the decline. Florida, Idaho,   
   and Texas on the rise.   
      
   Millions of Americans fled Democratic-run states and flocked to   
   Republican-run states in 2021, the Census Bureau reported on   
   Tuesday.   
      
   Washington, D.C., which is not a state and will never deserve   
   statehood, in 2021 lost almost 3 percent of its population.  Idaho,   
   meanwhile, a state that has voted Republican in every presidential   
   election since 1968, saw its population increase by nearly 3   
   percent.   
      
   Not surprisingly, New York experienced the second-largest decline in   
   population (1.6 percent), followed by Illinois (0.9 percent), Hawaii   
   (0.7 percent), and California (0.7 percent), where crime and   
   homelessness are out of control in Democratic-run cities. Much of   
   the population decline in blue states was attributed to domestic   
   migration, with California, New York, and Illinois leading the way.   
      
   By contrast, nearly all of the states that boasted a significant   
   increase in population last year were solidly Republican. Utah's   
   population grew by 1.7 percent, as did Montana's. South Carolina   
   grew by 1.2 percent, followed by Texas (1.1 percent), and Florida (1   
   percent).   
      
   It's probably not a coincidence that the states Americans are   
   fleeing have some of the highest tax rates in the country, while the   
   states to which they are flocking have some of the lowest. In other   
   words, a lot of libs are running away from the politicians and the   
   policies they supported. Here's hoping enough of them are smart   
   enough to see the connection and stop voting to ruin everything.

   --   
   Food for thought.   
      
   You want people who will stand and fight, not flee in fright.
