Speaking for a friend . . .
Before WW-II, the present mess in California was already underway; but, it was interrupted by the war.
The socialism in the UK, was underway before WW-I, but was interrupted by WW-I, and again interrupted by WW-II.
In my friend’s case, after WW-II, upon getting married, the couple escaped from California.
Some of the relatives in California, just could not believe the reasons - nor would they face what was already happening.
Ronald Reagan saw it coming, but stayed and kept resisting.
Author Ernst K. Gann saw it coming, and Hollywood did not like him for it - his resistance.
The exact same leftist stuff that the leftists cannot bear to see when they look in their mirrors.
The CONSEQUENCES of their decisions.
