Why Liberals Migrate to Conservative Towns for the Same Policies that Ruined Their Cities

It is a common observation that so-called 'liberals' leave their cities to move to more conservative towns, bringing with them their failed policies and misguided ideals. But why do they do this, and what drives them to continue the cycle of misguided governance and neglect of real-world consequences?

Liberal Policies and Misguided Ideology

Liberal thought is often characterized by a rosy, utopian view of the world that does not always align with actual outcomes. In the liberal outlook, fiscal policies are often seen as a way to invest in the future, even when these investments never actually pay off. Violent criminals, in the minds of liberals, are seen as victims who are merely misunderstood, rather than recognized as threats to society. This disconnect from reality is a hallmark of liberal ideology, where personal beliefs and abstract theories often supersede practical considerations.

Their inability to connect the dots is further exemplified by the perpetuation of economically unsound policies, such as citywide investments that fail to generate the desired results. When such policies fail, liberals often blame external factors rather than their own flawed thinking, leading to a cycle of repeated failures and continued disillusionment.

The Spread of Liberal Ideology

Liberalism is often seen as a sort of mind virus, spread through indoctrination from an early age. Starting in kindergarten, individuals are indoctrinated into believing in a Marxist utopia that, despite repeated failures, they remain convinced is just around the corner. When the utopia fails to materialize due to corruption and poor implementation, the dream is shattered, yet the belief persists.

Observing this pattern, liberals who have exhausted their cities with failed policies often seek new areas to implant their beliefs. This cycle is broken by the real-world consequences of their actions, such as economic decline and social unrest. However, instead of learning from these experiences, they seek out new communities where they can continue their failed practices, often leading to further breakdowns in those communities.

Motivations for Migration

The decision to move to more conservative towns is more complex than it might initially appear. Many liberals are driven to less densely populated, usually cheaper, and more politically conservative areas because these places offer a more affordable living situation and are often less oversaturated with people advocating for liberal causes. They find that, in rural or smaller towns, they can live more comfortably without constant pushback against their beliefs.

Furthermore, major cities tend to offer a wider array of job opportunities, particularly in higher-paying white-collar careers. This further incentivizes liberals to remain in or move to densely populated urban areas. In contrast, rural and conservative towns typically offer fewer high-paying jobs, driving the migration of professionals looking for better career prospects.

Conclusion

The continued cycle of liberal migration to conservative towns reflects a broader struggle with reality and a refusal to learn from past mistakes. While some may see this as a positive shift towards more conservative policies in these areas, it is essential to recognize that these migrations are driven by the same flawed ideologies that have led to the failure of liberal policies in urban settings. Without fundamental changes to this mindset, the cycle is likely to continue, causing further damage to these communities.

The most pressing hope is that, eventually, these individuals will come to see the futility of their beliefs and accept the reality of the world around them. Until then, the cycle of repeated failure and disillusionment will continue to play out in communities across the nation.
