American Refugees: The Untold Story of the Mass Migration from Blue to Red States.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cRoger Simon is among the many refugees fleeing blue state neoliberalism, and he\u2019s written the best account of our generation\u2019s greatest migration.\u201d
\n–Tucker Carlson,<\/span>\u00a0fired Fox News host<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a citizen of Tennessee, I can attest to the fact that there is a great migration happening from blue to red states. When people have had enough tyranny, they search for freedom elsewhere. This book captures a pivotal moment in time for our nation.\u201d
\n–John Rich<\/span>, country music superstar and owner of Redneck Riviera Brand<\/p>\n

\u201cRoger\u2019s analysis in\u00a0American Refugees\u00a0<\/span>provides great evidence that America isn\u2019t in some inevitable national decline, we\u2019re just young. We\u2019re going through our own version of adolescence as a nation.\u201d
\n–Vivek Ramaswamy<\/span>, \u00a0Republican Presidential Candidate<\/p>\n

A net exodus of Americans from blue to red states has been in progress for several years now. This is largely a southbound movement, and perhaps some migrants are “running from the cold up in New England,” as the song goes. But mostly they are leaving states that are too far gone into woke socialism to recover anytime soon\u2014in favor of states with more conservative governance.<\/p>\n

The conventional wisdom, or fear, among red state locals is that these newcomers, despite having \u201cvoted with their feet,\u201d will continue to vote for the same policies that ruined the states from which they are fleeing. Roger Simon argues that the reverse may be more accurate: blue-to-red migrants tend to be serious constitutional conservatives, and they might be the cavalry that rescues the red states from their own problems.<\/p>\n

With the possible exception of Florida, the red states, too, are in trouble. Like California, long-term one-party rule has corrupted them, but in a different way. Their political leaders have become disconnected from the conservative values of their constituents.\u00a0Migrants from blue states, however, are likely to be highly invested in saving the red states into which they are moving.<\/p>\n

American Refugees<\/span>\u00a0is the story of how a culture clash precipitated a great blue state exodus, and what it means for the rest of America. Focusing particularly on Tennessee, Simon contends that only the red states can preserve the constitutional republic envisioned by the Founders. Only they can save America for our children and grandchildren. The struggle will be great, but the story will ultimately have a happy ending.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
