I saw this on Amer Thker too. Great but too little, too late. Grew up in the Bay Area and any chg toward conservatism should be rewarded and encouraged but all in all, they’re still screwed...the answer is SECESSION!

I lived in the Bay area for about 4 years. I escaped to Texas after that in 2000. Our reasons for leaving were many. But the politics was one near the top of the list. The CA state government had just forced a logging company to sell its redwood acreage. Along with about $400 Million from the Fed, CA paid a total of $900 Million (forcibly) to turn their land into a redwood park. The company had been harvesting redwood from the same land for 3 generations. Later that year,1999, a ballot initiative came out to raise taxes to add $800 million to the budget for CA state schools.

MTBE debacle, 2nd Amendment treachery, Ebonics, Gross Polluter Tax on vehicles, Blue Angels/Military Protests during Fleet Week, etc.....We asked and were granted permission to relocate with my company.

I could go on, but you get the point. The Bay area just brainwashes generation after generation of ignorance.

Too little too late is absolutely correct. With illegitimate Barry - no birth certificate - & this CONgress we have passed the point of no return. You can be as vocal as in the past to change the country to sensibility but that time passed. Just a small quote from Alexander Tyler, who many know of here. ...from dependency to degeneracy to bondage.
