You'd be surprised to learn how many people change their outlook when they leave the commie states. I moved from the northeast to TX in 1998 and never looked back. When Beto faced Cruz for Senate, native Texans voted in favor of Beto. It was the Texas transplant vote that overwhelmingly chose Cruz that gave him the win.

I think a critical factor depends on where the transplants land. If they end up in Austin or a liberal enclave, they may not change. Most of these companies move to the 'burbs. People get spoiled by safe areas, the right to self-defense, good public schools, clean parks, no homeless, lower cost of living and they don't want to give that up.

That said, I'm always fearful. The locusts from CA have done a lot of damage to NV, AZ, WA, OR, etc.
