Carpetbaggers.
By the way, the fact that the term "carpetbagger" has become a slur is the same problem. Carpetbaggers were Northerners who traveled to the Reconstruction-era South in order to teach formerly enslaved people to read and write. They risked their lives to do so. Carpetbaggers were heroes.
The term "Luddite" as a pejorative synonym for "technophobe" was a technocrat PR coup; that's not what Luddites were about. They were a labour movement fighting to give workers control over technologies which were advancing w/o oversight and rapidly automating them out of their jobs. Sound familiar?

I really hate the idea of a "carpetbagger" in politics. Two reasons:
1) Nothing wrong with being a transplant!
2) The carpetbaggers were the good guys in the Reconstruction south.

RFK sr and HRC were carpetbaggers (complimentary)
'carpetbagger' originated in racist Southern politics, U.S. political localism is generally bad and shuts out a ton of talent - especially because more educated people tend to move around more! - and we should encourage good and smart candidates to drop into seats *more*.

The real story is the growing mood among Conservatives that their party is dead and that nothing can save it. That’s what’s driving the movement of carpetbaggers looking for a final haven for their ambitions.
