It's a Very Good Thing that many go back. They aren't Texan and never will be. I've loved visiting Texas every single time that I've been there, and that's because I recognise it for the highly distinct and unusual culture that the great state has. Moving out into the country with the DW isn't a bad idea at all – rattlesnakes, wild hogs, and tumbleweeds aside.

I do think very highly of Texas, obviously, but it would be MUCH better if the Commiefornians all went home – or at least were banned from voting.

The northern suburbs, Frisco and Allen, used to be nice. Now, they remind me of LA. The problem we're having is big companies (like Toyota) moving their HQ from California here.

There's one transplant in my neighborhood that already has his Biden sign up. He also has one with a logo of swoopy Trump hairdo with "No" as the only text. Even funnier, he has a Burn Loot Murder (BLM) sign even though he's white as can be. I meant to ask him if there were ever a black in this neighborhood if he thought that would work like lambs blood over the door like in Passover. I'm guessing not.

Funny thing is, many of them go back. I know people from CA and Seattle that lasted only a summer. They are utterly unprepared for the heat, and many flat out don't fit in. There's a distinct Texas culture that it's best you learn and love if you are moving here.

Because step one toe out of Metro Dallas, and you'll be reminded.

My hope is that I can convince the wife to move to the country. I can get a house with acreage in a nice town, a modest drive from DFW or Waco and pay cash. Next time she says "I don't want to work anymore" I'll push it.

Same issues in the South Island, bar the AFL, we avoid that Australian aberration.

Same thing happens in Australia with Victorians and New South Welshman's coming to Queensland. Queensland is not as red as Texas but the low cost of living is way people from Melbourne and Sydney are moving up here.What Queenslanders hate is the voting, preaching and the pro AFL that Victorians bring. Not only that but they are more pro diversity and, Man-made Climate Change. They Change the culture and the house prices.

Only the virus has slow this process down. One of the thing good as been the over reaction to the virus. Locking the QLD borders from NSW and Victoria people.

After the break up we will be nations.

Yeah, but that's for people moving between nations – in which case 5-6 generations makes sense. Moving between states – 30 years is probably about right.

…and Idahoans.

IIRC, St Thomas Aquinas said something like 6 generations.

Our beloved and dreaded Supreme Dark Lord (PBUH) Vox Day has gone on record suggesting a minimum of 25 or 27 years – I forget exactly which. I'd say that makes sense. Certainly a minimum of one generational period to allow for the Crazyfornians to get some skin in the game is necessary. That would also give the Texans and Arizonans enough time to kick out the carpetbagging Yankees as well.

Move to TX: wait 10 years before voting in TX elections.

But I tend to think even a 10 year waiting period may not be enough.
