What would it take to make America so hostile to Conservatives that they just leave?

Republicans are trying to starve government and the social safety net with tax cuts and Congressional stonewalling. It's called Starve the Blue Beast. Now they're on the attack with mass privatization and right-to-work crusading.

What can liberals do to make things so bad for Republicans that they just give up and emigrate? Is the growing minority population - a slow process that will probably come to fruition in 2043 - the only solution we have?

And if there's no way to drive them out, couldn't we vote to end all funding for things like the TVA, end funding for all roads in Red state areas, or yank other things that they depend on? I'd be in favor of passing a law directing all natural gas fracking to occur near THEIR water supplies, not any in the blue areas. Let their water catch on fire while they deny it's happening. Exempt the red areas from the EPA and let them choke to death on their own smog. Stand back, keep our hands out of it, and let the red states destroy themselves.

Perhaps we could wage a cultural war and drive them to leave the blue areas and congregate south of the Mason-Dixon line.

Outrageous and extreme ideas, yes, but there's got to be a way to get them out of our hair so we can actually progress as a society. Republicans are like a spouse with a violent history who's now threatening to burn down the house because they seriously lost the last fight. Liberals for the most part want to keep talking to them; a sensible person would find a way to repel that potential arsonist.
