How do you know it's time to leave your blue state as a conservative, instead of staying to fight back?

Nick Freitas has a 4 part litmus test:

(1) Are they making it more difficult to provide for my family?

(2) Are they making it more difficult to defend my family?

(3) Are they making it more difficult to educate & raise my children the way I want to?

If the answer to all three is yes, there's a crucial fourth question next:

(4) Has the Left taken so much power that it's impossible for the Right to win a major election and change things?

If so, you may just be a "tax farm for your own destruction," as Nick says.
