I live in an Arizona resort town just a few miles from the Calif border. We get a LOT of S Calif “visitors”. I have met several Californian people who say and think that they are conservative. After a short conversation it usually (99.9%) becomes very apparent that measured on an Arizona scale these deluded Californians are screaming liberals. It is a constant battle defending our fair city from being Californicated.
Part of their delusion is their moral superiority complex. Californians seemingly believe their state is the best thing since sliced bread and take great pride in the fact they are Californians, which is a hypocrisy if it’s so bad they want to leave.
Point being, this moral superiority goes with them and when they vote they vote to bring to their new nest the same crap they left behind. I’ve had transplanted Californicans try to talk down to me where I live regarding eco-whacko and animal rights issues.
My wife works in a major city that has a lot of people coming in from California. Invariably, these people say they are Republicans, but are super liberal. Her boss’s boss is one example and he used to be in the Army. He knows nothing and takes offense to everything. He is socially liberal and for big government, but lower taxes.
He also tried cheating on his wife while looking for a new home. He was effectively “single” for six months, living in the downtown area.
Freaking idiots.
Hi Clamper 1797... I’m pretty sure we live near each other. Good to know.
