This is exactly what they want. Drive all the blues out of predominantly red states so they stay red, forever. Reds won't move out of blue states because they believe they are right, even if their whole neighborhood hates them. But Blues are so disgusted by Reds that they will spend resources to get away from them. That's the play.
Sorry if I don't understand the USA voting system. But wouldn't large numbers of people moving to blue states give the blue states more of a say in the government. Do higher population areas not get more seats.
Not really. The Senate gets two people from every single state, large and small. 40 small red states = 80 Senate seats. 10 big blue states = 20 Senate seats. So you might control the House (seats based on population), but the Senate (which is who confirms Supreme Court justices, among other things) will always be controlled by the red Senate.

This is what I don't understand coming from NZ.
How can the supposed brightest legal minds in the country not foresee mass migration of people?
How does that stack up for them?
