Those invaders voted for Democrats.

A number of weak-minded natives who allowed the invaders to sway them have voted for Democrats also.

We’d be glad to have you come to TN.

You're funny. The answer is yes. I don't think you understand the profound changes that have taken place in California over the last several decades.

There is more than just a bunch of new people moving in. A lot of people have moved out, too.

Southern California was once one of the great employment centers for the aerospace industry. Much of it was in Orange and Los Angeles Counties - and most everyone working in that industry and their families were conservative. After the Cold War, defense spending went down, Northrup Grumann and Lockheed moved their headquarters from Cali to Northern Va to be near the Pentagon. Most workers were let go or moved and that is when California started to change its voting pattern. California workers by the many thousands worked on the Apollo program in the 60s and 70s and that is all gone by the 90s.

Also, consider the explosive growth of Silicon Valley in the last 30 years - none of that existed much before the 90s. Have you considered the massive entertainment industry in Southern California? There are over a million workers just in that industry. How many of those do you think are conservative.

You get the picture. There have been whole books written about the changed culture of California in the last few decades. It is not the same state that existed when Nixon was born or Reagan was at his peak of fame in the movies. The stars back then were conservative and they certainly aren't now.

So, that is just a very quick review, so California is a deeply blue, deeply liberal that if a republican ever wins again, will be a one off...it will happen every decade or so but it won't happen often.

I just noticed your Reagan comment. Reagan was governor 50 years ago. That is 2 generations ago. There are lots of changes in 50 years. Why do you assume everything stays the same?

Is Texas the same as it was 50 years ago? Is Florida the same 50 years ago?

Texas was a rock solid Democrat state 50 years ago and we know what it is today. So, it's OK for Texas to change but you think it doesn't make sense California changes? Anyway, I've already explained the change in Cali. I could go on.

Is Georgia the same from 50 years ago. How about W VA? Is that state the same from 50 years ago? etc etc etc

Again, if our top law enforcement and top elected officials have for years been attempting to criminally undermine, compromise and over-throw Trump, I'd guess they're capable of anything. Even massive widespread vote manipulation. No?

Btw, widespread vote fraud comes in many forms, including leftist politicians aiding and abetting open borders where *millions* of illegals flow in and vote, like CA for example. This is not real complex and their motives have been known for decades.

So what did republicans do? Nothing. They sat by and watched democrats gather legal votes to change the election result. I hope they learned their lesson and will also participate in ballot harvesting in November.

Totally agree; the Republicans do nothing. In fact, they do nothing all over the country, or they undermine our president because they are bought and paid for by the Chinese either directly or via proxy.

The Republicans seem to only care about the national level while the Democrats focus on the local level: School Board, City Councils, Mayor, State legislator, judicial appointments, bureaucratic offices. What do the Republicans do? As usual, nothing. That's why they lose and will continue to lose in other states because the game changed, but they never learned the new rules.

Knoxville area—unincorporated, about 22 miles due west of downtown Knoxville. Just save up so you can buy all the guns and ammo you want once you get here.

I just checked a few stores in Murfreesboro. All the nifty handguns I liked were out of stock. :(

Try going online with Palmetto State Armory. They may have what you want and do have good prices, especially on bulk ammo. They happily ship to FFL holders in TN. You wait for notice that the FFL has your order, go in, fill out the insta check form, and pick up your gun once it’s approved. As far as ammo is concerned, they just deliver it to your door, no checks or other hassles, and as much as you want and they have to ship to you.

Before I had my Tragic Boating Accident, similar to horrible things that have happened to many FReepers, to then point where such incident are referred to here as TBAs, I stole (purchased) a Springfield Armory Saint with a soft case and five 30 round mags from PSA for a base price of $649.00. At the time the rifle’s list price was $849.00. Prices have risen a bit since then.

If California is run by liberals, there will be excessive election cheating.

Probably true, but Trump has no chance in Cali anyway, so it doesn’t matter. Biden gets 53 electoral votes whether he wins by 15 points or 30 points.
