California alone saw net domestic out-migration of 203,414 between 2018 and 2019, and if recent trends are any indication, many of these folks wound up in Trump ’16 states. According to the real-estate website Trulia, 18.7 percent of outbound Californians in 2017 went to four red-state cities: Phoenix, Dallas, Houston and Atlanta.

Conservatives have even coined a new word for these people: “leftugees.” As the moniker implies, Republicans are inclined to declare ideological victory, given that so many people seem to be voting with their feet against Blue America’s policies.
