Blue States Are Still Facing A Mass Taxpayer Exodus Long After COVID
2026-04-01
[ZERO] Remember when blues state Democrats tried to enforce sweeping pandemic mandates for years after it became clear that covid was not the "mass killer" that the supposed experts claimed it would be? Remember when they called for people to be jailed for publicly speaking about scientific facts that contradicted the narrative? Remember when they called for people's children to be taken away if they refused to vaccinate?

Remember how millions of people left blue states in response to the far-left madness? Well, Democrats are now pretending that none of that ever happened, but they can't hide the continuing consequences of their draconian policies.

The historic population shift that escalated during the pandemic era is still well underway, though the causes are now more economic than political. We recently covered New York Governor Kathy Hochul's sad attempt to beg wealthy NY taxpayers to stop leaving her state. However, New York is only one of multiple blue regions being crushed by an ongoing wealth exodus.
