LA emigrants? Yeah, that's a threat. But, I'd wager the Northerners are far less liberal.

As to Colorado, a lot of Denver's liberals came from the Midwest. I'm happy to send them there.
My SIL is from Indiana, her husband from Chicago, and they moved to Denver 20 years ago. They liked skiing and environmentalism and they moved there for that, and to be crunchy. But then they started complaining because Californians were moving there. Not that they disagreed with them ideologically. Just seeing too many California license tags I guess. There's also some animosity because they can't water their lawns because water must be conserved to send to California. But the Californians can water their lawns.
