Thread of threads... The case for red state metros

Semi-autonomous conservative metropolitan areas are our best hope for building, keeping, and protecting a conservative future. I've settled my family near a red state metro region with a population of ~700,000. Why? /1

The American Redoubt thesis is holding strong. Recently released data showing the affiliation of newly arrived voters from CA, OR, and WA shows that not only are they conservative, they are *more* conservative than Idaho's existing electorate (50.4% Republican).

I grew up evangelical, went to AWANA and youth group. I was homeschooled. I read I Kissed Dating Goodbye and went to the "Rebelution" conferences. I volunteered at church camp every summer and got a certificate in Biblical Studies before I went off to a 4-year state college. /1
