Keep in mind that changes in their material conditions will also change their politics. These people, particularly the ones who end up worse-off from it, will be very capable of a sudden leftwards shift and their predisposition to being anti-liberal makes it easier to reach them if they've had genuine trauma caused at the hands of capitalists.

The real problem, honestly, is that to these people Liberal=Marxist, and I'm not sure how much that specific misconception would be shifted by their lives getting more difficult.
It's a surprisingly effective thought-terminator that stops people from actually coming to coherent conclusions about anything.
I’ve been complaining about where I live and considering moving north but making no effort towards making it happen for years now. Seems pretty southern to me.
Realizing that my state is going to receive an influx of genocidal conservatives in the near future

If their lives get hard what matters is what they experience, who is helping them, who is there when they're trying to get through this?
True, though at the same time you have to be wary that some of these newcomers aren't just the opportunistic equivalents of Patsocs.
Imagine being Alaskan and seeing the flood of lower 48ers constantly immigrating in and bringing their shitty southern culture up with them.
Also FYI if you're not from Alaska, to an Alaskan, you're a southerner regardless of your orientation to the mason-dixon line.

Roadkill, Alaska might be too south for them
Given how much they hate refugees, it would be poetic justice if they got beaten and tear-gassed at the border.
Just a shame about all the innocent people who will also experience that as climate change worsens.
