But their stupidity spills over. Their covid rates effect the covid rates of surrounding areas. Their science textbook policy effects what publishers are willing to publish. Their abortion law places extra strain on surrounding states.
Their actions have consequences beyond their state borders.
Same with their gun laws. Conservatives love to point to Chicago’s gun crime rates despite Chicago’s gun control laws. The problem is that Chicago has a lot of red areas around it with lax gun laws. Criminals go to these red areas, buy guns, and then use them in Chicago. Gun crime rates would be very low in Chicago if you filtered out guns that were legally obtained in red areas and then imported.

Oh absolutely. Idaho covid folks running over to WA and OR. Anti-abortion states fleeing for medical care.
