There's a nickname for people from Ohio. "FIFO" If I get 69 up votes I'll tell you what it means 😁

Massachusetts, New York, California, Oregon, Washington

Definitely California

You forgot NJ and HI

True, especially NJ. HI is way out there not too worried about them

Florida, Texas

These are all beautiful states. Ever been to upstate NY? Great mountains and plenty of nature.

You can add Indiana to the list. Turning into the Florida of the Midwest at a fast clip here, which is why we’re leaving for Maine.

They are pretty. But their leadership is very poor and there is a lot of ugliness too. I'd rather just go way up north here in Maine or in NH over upstate NY, Or visit Idaho, Wyoming or Montana over the west coast options

Commifornia, Oregon, Washington, Massachusetts, Illinois

Do you really believe that?

Florida…low taxes, sunshine, and a great economy…also one of the states people are heading to in droves..

Wasn't Ronald Reagan from "Commifornia", the 5th largest Economy in the world?

Must watch Fox.

Go, go, go

You should move to Idaho. You're a perfect fit.

Nah Maine has always been and will continue to be my home. Far too invested to turn away now

I lived in Indiana for a good chunk of my youth.

I could not get the fuck out of there fast enough.

I only watch Fox if the Patriots are playing an NFC team bub. I ain’t no Q.

What are you waiting for? Get out of here and head down to that backwater shithole. Propaganda is a helluva drug! Your experience living there will be a lot different from the idea that's been presented to you on Fox News!

Not a Q, but thinks that American Communists are a real thing. I have some bad news for you.

So you're saying we should boycott it, or did you not understand the post? I'm trying to understand this.

How do you say you watch Fox News without saying you watch Fox News?

I don't watch Fox News at all. I don't have cable

Sorry for that. I guess you just freebase your propaganda from Facebook and Reddit groups. My bad.

I don't use Facebook either or follow any political groups on Reddit.

Not sure what propaganda you're referring to

It would appear you're very deep in the liberal propaganda from your post history. Seems a bit like the pot calling the kettle black to me.

I've been to every mainland US state, I've seen what's going on in these states. It's not good

He thinks Florida is the land of milk and honey.

But every person I know who has moved there has either come back after a year or wished they could.

People don't realize just what a cesspit Florida is.

Unhinged

Vvv this is in regards to the fool I was replying to who deleted their comments

You have mental illness from consuming too much internet

Look no further from Reddit and other unhinged lunatics like you

Unfortunately, I have to visit my parents in Florida twice a year. It's as bad as I say. Great if you don't need to insure a home though! Get down there!

Unhinged, I tell you! Absolutely mad!

The boycotting our own state part. If she's the sole reason we boycott her. Those other state reps are collectively fucking over their constituents. We've one state rep doing it. Let's boycott her.

Not a Q, but doesn't understand California's economy supports pretty much the rest of the union, especially most of the Red states.

Buckeyes, and I do it for free. But those idiots think its a term of endearment now.

lmao OP felt like giving the mods a nightmare before bed

Haha nope

What does that have to do with Fox News?

You're not wrong about Susan Collins, she's a devil in a blue dress, and this horror show against women's rights would not be happening if not for her. But, rather than boycott Maine, may I suggest collectively showing Susan Collins the door.

Shawn McBrearity's friends have all checked in

OP history explains it all

I second that, it's as bad as you say

How dare he show his political bias just like OP did!....

Exactly low taxes and sunshine don’t outweigh the total cesspool Florida is. I lasted 6 months in the 90’s I wouldn’t last 2 days the way Florida is presently. I have been lucky enough to travel to a lot of states in our country. Florida hands-down was the worst experience out of any of them.

I currently live in Oregon. Transplant from Maine and Oregon is amazing and a beautiful state. Washington state as well. Obviously, you’ve never been to California or you wouldn’t have that on the list. California is a Amazing and diverse state.

So I can assume you have visited none of those states? I have visited Idaho and Montana also California and Washington and I live in Oregon I’m originally from northern Maine. I don’t think you’ll find people from Idaho matching how people are from northern Maine.

How so? I think boycotting a state that's into censoring history and banning books so as not to make old white rubes uncomfortable is a good idea.

How do you say you move your lips when you read without saying you move your lips when you read.

There are a lot of stupid people in the US. About 74 million based on the last POTUS election.

They went to bed but chose violence first.

By all means, go! Enjoy the low taxes, the sunshine, and (eventually) the impossibly high insurance costs on your underwater property! But hey, at least you'll be able to rest easy knowing that your kids will learn about sex and sexuality from random internet videos rather than qualified teachers, and that they won't be exposed to any scary books that talk about black people.

I'm from Indiana originally (Bloomington but a Sullivan native) and moved to Maine in 2021.

Can confirm, IN is a terrible place to live!

Life at any state other than Maine is so much better. Leave for more than a week and you’ll see that you are living life on the highest difficulty level. Maine has the 3rd highest food prices and rent/ buying a home is out of control. The older population is retiring and the labor shortage will only get worse. The drug use here is horrific and the youth are dying everyday. The education system is terrible ranking #40 in the us. The smart youth leave as soon as they get a chance. This state is dying (literally) boycott Maine , it’s literally one of the worst states in the us by almost all metrics

I've been to every mainland US state. Idaho was pretty nice

What?

Exactly

1. I don't

2. Why does it matter?

As a trans person.... Most states.

Even Bloomington? Having IU there didn’t balance things out a bit?

100% this. Based on that math it’s fair to assume that approximately 50% of people that voted in the last presidential election are fucking imbeciles

You are clueless!! Hopefully, you are still young enough to ventually watch CPRC (China) take over our country, while "you" were worry about States trying to simply maintain a civilized, conventional society.

> CPRC (China)

The Chinese People's Republic of China? Jesus christ dude, at least get the fucking name right if you're trying to scaremonger.

> ventually watch

> "you" were worry

Leave now my man, you will fit right in in Florida lmao

Did you know we had fascists at the farmers market, and someone spray-painted derogatory words/symbols on the sidewalks?

Because the city refused to ban the nazis at the farmers market, a group broke off and made their own farmers market, nazi-free. We literally had 3%ers "guarding" the fascists market stand.

Bloomington is pretty good, but the surrounding community is still very typical southern Indiana.

Lifelong Florida resident here. We are in a fast race with California for the highest home insurance and are #1 for highest car insurance. With the upcoming 60 to 100% increase in home owners insurance in June my bet is that a year from now the housing market will tank due to foreclosures. We are clearing the woods to build cracker box houses and a SUPER toll highway that begins at the Georgia boarder that goes all the way down the Gulf coast. Red tide and the five thousand mile long seaweed (you read that right) bloom that will hit us very soon makes living here delightful. Ain't freedom grand!

Connecticut, Mass , Jersey, NY, California
