Sometimes there's not a lot of choice, PeppyGPhiB. I was born and raised in OK. It's where my family is. When I didn't have a job after graduation, it's where I ended up again. Now it's where all my network is. I'm trying to get a job--any job--and I'll go wherever that job takes me, even if it's somewhere even less suitable for my tastes than OK (I'm not sure where that even exists...maybe Texas). Also, if everyone who doesn't agree leaves, it'll just get redder and redder and redder (if that's possible). Change can come from within. Living in Oklahoma is frustrating, certainly, but there are a lot of advantages, too (for one thing, it is cheeeeeeap), and I think to discount a state completely because of its politics is a little shortsighted. But yes, sometimes living in a state that is known for having the opposite of your politics can be very, very hard.
ETA: Also, without politics, all we'd have to complain about would be the weather.
