>> And people in Houston said they like it in Texas?

They voted with their feet.



When it comes to state or federal politics, voting with your feet is not really feasible, since many people are not able to move based on political whim. Jobs, family, housing, all tend to create a lot of friction to moving. I didn't like any of the previous presidential administration's policies, yet moving out of the country was not a feasible option.


Heard of this big word called gerrymandering? Its when politicians do hijinks to ensure that voting with ones feet becomes more and more ineffective for people that don't support said politicians.
