One party has physically more people than the other. A Republican migration can never change major and swing Democrat areas by voter numbers alone, whereas a Democrat migration can change a Republican area by voter numbers alone.
Only a local partisan reality or influencing others can alter that, a Democrat migration can turn the entire country* Democrat if anyone coordinated, as only a few counties have to be swung just a little bit. I don't feel like this is a partisan observation, mathematically the opposite is not true like if you imagined a different nation that you didn't care with the same reality it is easy to notice that the opposition party does not have the numbers.
*Not all local representatives, just electoral college for Presidency, the entire Senate, most of the House of Representatives.

So it would require a SuperPAC to get people to move from Democratic areas to the select Republican and swing counties at once, or heavily helped by existing and pandemic net migration.
