California: The largest insane asylum in the world.
What I find most disturbing about California is that every insane policy and social trend that takes root there inevitably takes over the rest of America just a few years later. It takes only about a year or two to spread to liberal urban areas, but within a decade, the rot spreads to all states or to the Federal level. California started the process of treating illegals as a special, protected class of people, and now most of the country is converted to DACA and wailing about how terrible it is to "break up families at the border."
