> Why go help a state that doesn't even want your help? Because there are people that can't just jump states like you and I. They need our help. Whining about

  Right, well, as selfish as it is I'd rather not live in a state where the majority is opposed to my way of thinking. If that makes me a bad person, whatever, but I'd rather be happy in life. Not everyone can be as selfless as you. Or, at least I can't.

  As someone who lives in one of those states (Texas), my plan for doing something is: leave as soon as possible. Ann Richards was the last governor I actually liked or agreed with. Since then, we've hit a downslide into the morass of conservative politics and there's no end in sight. I thank <deity> daily that we don't have Sam Brownback in charge, but the next likely candidate for governor after Abbot is probably our current AG and he makes Abbott look like a pinko commie. We live in a much more mobile society that we used to. While it's certainly not easy to move a new locale that has much more amenable politics, among other things, it's not unthinkable or impossible anymore.
