I lived in (Southern) California for quite a while.
Early on, there was a guy I worked with. One of the managers at a place I worked at. I thought he was a Republican. More accurately, he SAID he was.
I thought. This was way back, even before Schwarzenegger was governor. He was politically into things. The thing is, I did not get that he was real. He seemed completely fake. Not at all a good guy.
Not at all what I expected. California went the wrong direction a long, long time ago.
I really thought Schwarzenegger was going to be a very good governor there. Once again, a huge disappointment.
The GOP killed itself in Cali. I no longer live there, but I strongly suggest it is the GOP which killed itself there.
Cali, really needs some Republicans who are more like Trump.
For real.
People tend to become conservative when they are affected by the consequences of liberalism.
