@notveryzen - anyone with half a brain has already done this, or made sure their children did. There’s some social Darwinism in play here.
However, more and more counties are becoming politically segregated:

Counties with 60% of the US population had +20% vote margins in the recent election. That includes those with 20% of the US population which had +50% vote margins.
Right–because who cares about family, community, and roots? This is Marx’s apotheosis of capitalism–rootless, nomadic, itinerant workers, going from place to place as capital requires them, hoping they get to the next spot before work there dries up, too. A nation of Joads. Dystopia.
@ucbalumnus - right, but electoral votes are given out by states. Blaming the GOP win on the long-suffering citizens of a West Virginia county who (for a very complex set of reasons, including: a tremendously unpopular Dem candidate, (false but bold) promise of change and redemption, the absence of a viable political Left in the US) voted for a candidate who will enact legislation that will increase their suffering is wrong-headed.

I hope that poster is kidding, and isn’t really that clueless.
