Where is Arizona? Red vs. Blue States

Historically, Arizona has been a red state, voting more politically conservative than surrounding states like California and New Mexico.

Over the last few years, with more Californians and other blue-staters migrating to urban areas like the Phoenix Metro area and Tucson, Arizona has turned more purple, politically speaking.

According to GKGigs.com, Arizona is listed as a blue state, probably because there isn't a column for the purple (mix of red and blue) slowly seeping into Arizona politics.

Keeping Arizona Politically Center

It's always been a mystery why people flee a state, especially when they're mad at the results of politically motivated policies.

I still have a few friends who live in California and Washington states. They wring their hands at the rising cost of housing. They lament the cost of gasoline and despair at the price of groceries.

Rather than vote out the politicians creating the bad policies that lead to higher prices, they flee the state, only to settle somewhere like Arizona. And they begin voting for the bad policies they left behind.

Tell Blue State Refugees Arizona is Closed

It's time to stop talking up Arizona. When our blue-state friends complain about the bad policies in their respective states, just agree with them and offer your condolences.

Whatever you do, don't brag about how much better things are in Arizona. It just encourages them to move here and start the madness all over again. Tell them Arizona is closed!
