I agree it’s a big ask to stay let alone move there. But long term, the repercussions seem like they would be worse unless the people left there wise up in time.
It’s a commons dilemma, by moving out you’re prioritizing your short term self interest over the long term group interest. If you leave a conservative state for a liberal one for the immediate future your quality of life will be greatly improved, but if enough people do so in the long term everyone’s quality of life will be worse.
As time passes, the differences between red and blue states would do nothing but continue to grow, and eventually even the dumbest of the dumb are going to start asking questions.

Yep. Somewhere between prisoner’s dilemma and trolley problem. Lol
It’s really a variant of the tragedy of the commons, but yes it does have parallels with prisoners dilemma.
