I live in California, where both conservatism and the GOP are dead and buried and whose 55 electoral votes are a forgone conclusion.
The only meaningful political act I can do is to donate money to out-of-state candidates (and presidential campaigns).
In fact being a registered voter here, as a conservative, is just a way of saying "Yes, I'll do jury duty". It has no other purpose.
Why continue to live there, then?
I’m a alicornian, too. What you say is very true. Those bastard Dems engineered all the immigration to their favor from the 1965 Kennedy immigration bill. Repubs were totally clueless...or in on it. And at the time they actually claimed it wouldn’t change the face of America.
