Some people ITT have alluded to this, but I've long held a hypothesis that places with austere conditions that require some amount of personal responsibility keep the worst of the leftists away. For example, states like Alaska, and areas that experience prolonged winter storms.
It's a requirement to be a prepper and have a diesel generator, because your power going out during a storm isn't a chance, it's a certainty. Making sure to run some water so your pipes don't burst, and shoveling snow and salting your driveway are all requirements, unless you like flooded basements and black ice for some reason.
I can't imagine your average lefty city dweller being motivated enough to go through all that when the big cities they already live in cater to them and eliminate a lot of the need to do these things. Additionally, I've heard from countless lefties that, "there's nothing to do" in reference to these states and areas.
But like I said, it's just a hypothesis.
I know some folks who became lefties after moving from Alaska, so I wonder if they could survive now.
Possibly, but I'd also bet if you asked them if they'd be willing to be taxed more so people who newly moved to Alaska wouldn't have to prepare and maintain their homes themselves, they'd tell you to fuck off.
Wyoming is where I'm looking at precisely because it's a difficult place to live outside the handful of small cities, and to a degree in them.
Well, once you go north of 60 in Canada, prices tend to skyrocket (but so do wages/salaries.) Alaska is probably similar. Moving north on southern money can look daunting, so they might be turned off by seeing $16 coffees instead.
(The value of the $Cdn actually varies wildly in-country depending on where you are, though.)
