Two Families Got Fed Up With Their States' Politics. So They Moved Out. 1 to blue, 1 to red state

28. People have been moving from red areas only forever

And yet the media rarely talks about the masses of gay kids leaving rural areas to go to the big cities, or to friendlier states, every single day.

You don't hear about the women who escape to the cities because they don't want to be saddled with a loser husband and a bunch of kids they can't afford.

You don't hear about the young people who love books or the arts or want to be something more than a farmer, and know there's nothing for them but boredom and misery in rural areas.

All of them have been fleeing the red areas so much, for so long, that rural and small town America are full of mostly old people, farmers/ranchers and those who are too dumb and/or poor to to leave. Their populations have all--ALL--been decimated over the past 50 years. They're all pissing and moaning about how their kids don't stick around--and why should they? Those places have nothing to offer people who want more out of life than digging in dirt or living in places that have nothing to do, and, worse, with a bunch of narrow-minded bigots.

And yet people rarely hear about that outside of the occasional sob story about the graying of rural and small-town America.
