Roger Simon investigates the ongoing exodus of Americans leaving blue states for red ones. He challenges the conventional wisdom that these migrants will bring their old voting habits with them. Simon argues these blue state refugees are actually committed constitutional conservatives who fled woke socialism. They may rescue red states from their own corruption problems caused by decades of one-party rule. Simon focuses on Tennessee as a key destination in this southbound movement. He contends that only red states can preserve the constitutional republic the Founders created. The migrants are highly motivated to protect their new homes from the policies that destroyed their old ones. Simon sees this migration as America's best hope for the future.
