That’s a crazy pat fantasy. You are as hyperpartisan a Trumpie as one


Can be, and I don’t hear you hatching plans to leave LA.

What you just described is not even remotely possible. Families don’t agree about politics, and the many with strong disagreements are unlikely to decide to split for different states, splitting custody of kids or something. I just saw a piece about a TX family with a transgender kid, which is now petrified about anti-trans care rules in TX. They plan to take their trans kid on day trips to a clinic in New Mexico, and if they can’t get appointments, they may have to consider moving to a more trans-friendly state. Something none of them, including the teen, wants to do. Because they have generations of roots in their red state, which don’t go away because of politics.

Only in feverish partisan dreamscapes will there be some self-sorting creation of nothing but red and blue states. Every single state in the union is purple, and will remain purple. People are not going to abandon all they’ve ever known because of sudden off the charts partisanship. As much as the most extreme partisans among us like to daydream about it.
