American Refugees: The Untold Story of the Mass Migration from Blue to Red States

The premise of this book is that the America envisioned by the Founders-the constitutional republic-can only be saved by the red states. The blue states-notably California, New York and Illinois, but others as well-are already too far gone into woke socialism to recover anytime soon. But the red states themselves, with the possible exception of Florida, are also in trouble in a different way. Having also, like California, been one-party states for so long they have also been corrupted, but in a different way, disconnected from the conservative values of their constituents. The conventional wisdom and fear of red state locals is that the many migrants coming from blue states are closet liberals who will only make things worse. But the reverse is true. Serious constitutional conservatives they have become the cavalry come to rescue the red states from themselves and save our country for our children and grandchildren. The Southbound Train is the story of this unforeseen culture clash, which ultimately, despite great struggle, will have an optimistic ending for our country. The book centers on Tennessee as a paradigm for the red states but refers to others as well.
