This is largely incorrect; the US Northeast has had wonderfully benign weather for the past couple years. Mild winters, and this summer wasn't too hot. No wildfires, few floods. One hurricane but it was gone in a few hours.

The hydrological cycle in New England has intensified: more droughts and more floods. EEE seems to be on the upswing. This summer was very hot, which is not so benign for me. https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/monitoring-content/sotc/national/statewidetavgrank/statewidetavgrank-202006-202008.png …

You mean "Democratic coastal states" like N. Carolina, S. Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Miss., Alabama, Louisiana and Texas. Those inland "safe zones" are seeing once in a lifetime tornados and are not safe from drought and fire.. Maybe this theory needs some reworking?
