Who, in their right mind will, at great personal expense and effort, relocate from tyranny to a free state and then change their political affiliation and voting habits to “spread the cancer”? Who would do that? [highlight=yellow]Good question. LOTS of transplants. It makes economical sense to move here vs CA.

Respectfully disagree. I would love for my two sons and their families to move out of tyranny and into freedom but, as blue collar workers making almost $50 bucks an hour with COL increases every year, three weeks + of vacation, 12 paid holidays/yr, medical coverage, lots of overtime and working toward a pension, there is no way they could duplicate those numbers here. It doesn't even come close to making economic sense.
The blue virus threatening red states is not due to the anecdotal internet tripe of "transplanted Californians", it is a result of unfettered illegal immigration and corrupt elections. Instead of all the childish "Boo hoo Californians are moving to Arizona!" caterwauling maybe you should welcome them because we need all the 2A voters we can get. My personal experience with this is the opposite of the point you are trying to make. I live in Ajo, small town living. We have been INUNDATED with imports from CA and WA. [highlight=yellow]Easily 99% of them are hard left Democrats: they make it damn clear that their TDS and outright hatred of anything Republican is front and center.[/highlight]
99% is a big percentage. Only one person out of a hundred is conservative? How do you know this to be true?

I love to wear this shirt while grocery shopping.
Meh. Kind of passive aggressive. But you do you.

Maybe include welcome packages for the Kalifornians that include a free complementary rattlesnake and a heat stroke kit.
On second thought, that likely won't work. They'd just push for legislation to outlaw rattlesnakes plus more laws for more so called climate change.
When I meet folks who object to Californians moving to Arizona because they bring their "ways" with them, I point out that citizens of a state who kept that monument to nepotism and treason, John McCain, in the Senate for over three
decades have precious little to complain about.
The bottom line is, I'm not going to change anyone's mind. If you think "Kalifornians suck!" then nothing I can say will disabuse you of that notion. I don't spend too much time worrying about what people think of me based on where I moved from. When someone asks where I hail from, I simply say: "Southern California and I don't make any apologies for it."
