Unfortunately it won't work like that. When the educated move away or don't move there to begin with, the idiot density increases. The local businesses will have a hard time finding educated labor and will fail or be forced to move, too. The states will become poorer and suffer from that but the idiots who drove away those that could've helped won't see that it was their own doing. They will blame the liberals, foreigners or some other scapegoat to have taken their jobs and with their now decisive majority vote whomever joins in pointing fingers at their chosen "oppressors".
