I see. But then you also had the reverse great migration, young job seekers from other states and foreign immigrants coming in countering those trends right?

The immigration has been a lot of Latinos coming from authoritarian "leftist" regimes (Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua) who lean conservative. I also don't think Miami or Tampa attracted the sort of young educated liberal demos like Atlanta, Research Triangle, or NOVA did, but that's based more on vibes-I don't know the actual data there.

Venezuelans and Nicaraguans backed Democrats until 2020. You could be right about the young educated demos thing. Even I feel that Florida attracted more midwestern WCWs than them.

Puerto Ricans and Haitians also backed till 2020. Haitians may have backed in 2024 too.
