Urban North as Old South

"Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony."
--Morpheus (The Matrix)

Victor Davis Hanson claims that major progressive regions of the US, particularly large northern and coastal urban cities, are increasingly taking on characteristics traditionally attributed to the Old South. One party political fiefdoms. A feudal class system lacking a vibrant, mobile middle class. Intolerance of dissent on issues held dear.

Just as people fled the Old South in droves to escape similar conditions, they are packing their U-Hauls once again to escape escalating oppression in the Urban North. 

Their destination? Why, the South. 

Texas, Tennessee, and Florida are among the states viewed as lands of opportunity.

Proving once again that the magnet of liberty, wherever it may be placed, never looses its capacity to attract.
