Looks like Reynolds really is driving people out of Iowa

Forget about those issues. I am talking about stuff IN IOWA.
Frankly the Dems should release a plan to clean up water. They are never going to appease the Farm Bureau anyway.

List is too long for the republicans, no thanks. And I clearly said not sure if radical or not for the dems.
What is your view on the water quality issue?
I think to survive Iowa must MUST pivot away from Ag. There is no future to being America's Ag toilet. CAFOs are disgusting. No one wants to live in a state known for pig shit.
I’m actually drafting a letter that I plan on mailing to every Republican state representative and senator; a plea for a move back towards the middle and a request to stop governing out of spite.
Maybe try paying attention to the conversation if you're going to put other people down dipstick.
Torbee thinking he’s one of the grownups is pretty damn funny.
Just like labeling Republicans fascists. Lots of BS going around in politics these days.
Penna is now offering $ 3500 tax credits, 3 years for teachers, nurses, and police moving and working in the state. They think this offer will work for those working under control in the radical red states, and help those that have college debt.
I’ve said it before - my kids will both be gone from Iowa when they graduate high school and so will my no pics wife and I. Not really because of politics though - I’ve done everything worthwhile there is to do here at this point. I’m bored with Iowa.
TBF, he did say it was the “final straw” meaning there is a big pile of other straws underneath the abortion one that led to their decision. But you never have been good at nuance.
The insurrection of 2020 brought many people to the Republican side. They saw with their own eyes the lengths the left is willing to go.

Her and the GOP's goal is to handicap education and pass bills to drive all the educated people out of the state leaving behind a pool of idiots that will keep re-electing them. Eventually it will solve itself when no one is left that is smart enough to perform the basic functions of day to day existence.
Were they moving to?
Where is the ultra liberal wet dream residence?
Nobody is saving rural America. Less farmers equals less supporting structure.
If urban Iowa isn’t liberal enough, were they going?
Show me somebody leaving the state over politics and I will show you somebody with few friends, hobbies, or even family that can stand to be in the same room as them.

Oh I figured someone would give an answer that would fit my last sentence in the post. Neither of those things would be considered radical in the rest of the world. Just America, where the wealthy scare Republican voters into being selfish.
For example, crying about spending money in Ukraine to keep at home. Simpletons actually think that money would go back in our pockets. It wouldn’t. If the feds want to give me 10K back each year in a refund maybe we could discuss it. Otherwise it’s BS.
Boom!
It's the same as the Hollywood actors that threaten to move to Canada if a R wins. They all say this stuff but everyone knows they're full of shit.
You don’t actually pay attention, do you? Just pick DeSantis. Then explain how his actions fit into a democratic republic. They don’t. His actions are authoritarian. This isn’t difficult to understand.
Yes? Sorry about the spelling. Maybe it gave you time to make up some shit.
Moving to LA? Frisco? Chicago?
I saw a guy shit on the bike path in downtown Des Moines last summer, thst isn’t cosmopolitan enough?
Exactly where is ultra liberal Mecca ? Guessing Florida and Texas are not it.
Also, what state has made rural living flourish?
Every post about leaving Iowa is started by somebody that is an obvious loner that is about two bad days away from suicide

A lot of interesting takes in here. Essentially Iowa MAGA folk going, “where could be better than here?! Anyone that wants to leave is a nut!”
The list isn’t a short one….Colorado’s front range, the Pacific Northwest, pick a spot in the North Eastern US among others. Educated Iowans are talking with their feet.

It's not politics, per se. It's the very real fallout from those policies. Teaching in Iowa is a complete shit show, for example. I wouldn't be surprised at all if teachers are moving to states that favor their careers.

Minnesota is a prime example. I know they are targeting Iowa teachers to move.
I'm sure a lot of states are. And that will only accelerate with that stupid private school law.
Then leave and shut up about it.
My guess is nobody that actually knows you gives a shit if you leave or drop dead. So you come here looking for some internet pity.
Save that for the lefties here that admit to being loners where they can’t get along with their own family.
We have people here looking for pity from strangers. Go ahead and give them some.
Were you doing shots during the 9am wrestling session?
I don't think you would be a fun member of my family right now.
The majority of Oregon state territory wants to leave Oregon because of the aholes on the west coast.
Ever been to Oregon? Ever driven through the part that wants to split off into another state? I have. It's empty and poor.
Gonna need the "sarcasm" emoji if you keep going with these hot takes.
And just for the record...the insurrection was in 2021.
Be Better
It isn't what you think of politics in the traditional sense where laws are debated, debated some more, and then passed or rejected. What is happening in Iowa and other states is reactionary, and fearful. Fearful of a changing world. People like my wife and I have money and options in retirement. We moved back to Iowa from the South because we couldn't stand the idea of raising our kids in such an intolerant atmosphere. We could do this because we have economic mobility. If Iowa continues to shift away from our values we'll move again. We won't live under Christian Sharia Law.
Despite what you and others have posted here, people with economic mobility, and young people starting their lives with options who want opportunity are leaving this state.
Stop talking a big game. Storm the ramparts next time and be a hero for your race.
