The problem with California is Californians. You can’t fix nutty people.

Sorry but California is beyond political redemption. Its economic foundations have been weakened over the last twenty years with bizarre laws and regulations. Despite its enormous endemic, natural assets, beauty and existing infrastructure, it will never be what it once was or a place for decent people to live a productive, happy life.
I remember back in 81 a guy moved from CA to CT because he thought the divorce culture was too prevalent in CA. He said many couples were on their second marriages. I thought it was strange at the time, but CA has been leaders in abortions, gays, and transsexuals.
Another thread where elderly BoomerCons babble crap about “dem hippies” in California.
News flash...it isn’t 1967 here anymore.
We have about 10% of the Mexican population living here. That’s 13 million people. There are actually about 15 million “hispanics” but since there were 2 million of them here in 1970, we can credit a few of them with being somewhat Americanized.
Without Reagan’s amnesty, California would still be electing Republicans as governors and senators, and Orange County would still have all Republican Congressmen.
California in 1994 voted in Propostion 187 by a 60/40 margin. THAT BIG.
ONE federal “judge”, a ridiculous, vapid, juvenile Jewish woman by the name of Mariana Pfaelzer struck down large parts of it saying “only the federal government can do anything about immigration!”.
Now we are hearing the governor and the LA mayor and the entire Mexican Occupation Army screaming that “the federal government must leave!”.
The STATE is in rebellion. They are attempting to NULLIFY federal law and supremacy.
The electorate did NOT vote for that. It is being IMPOSED on us.
The crisis is a crisis of mass illegal immigration on a scale unseen in human history. It is by any criteria an INVASION. It dominates EVERYTHING.
Mr. Trump and his buddy Homan are doing the best job anyone has done in 45 years, but they are up against a giant wave: to finish the job will take years, even if they double their efforts. California will not resemble any part of America until they do finish. Or rather, IF they finish.
When and If that happens, you might be surprised how it turns out. But...that’s “If”.
With deep concern for the state’s future.
Just look at photos of Haiti it nearing it fast.
