No, there’s nothing wrong with what you say, but your flip answers as to the “solutions” are not adult. I would never suggest that any state be required to take this nation’s Black population. They are a disgrace with very few exceptions! Arizona should be applauded for the efforts of some there, notably Sheriff Arpaio. But you have some real problematic politicians and seem intent upon re-electing them. Your governor, at the end of the day, is shrinking from being the kind of leader that you need. You have McLame, and that Mexican creep from Tucson. I don’t think that your Congressional delegation is much more than 50/50 as I recall. We suffered with a worthless governor for two terms (Arnold the Awful) who could have made a difference but didn’t. You have only one big city, and it’s mayor is a disgrace. So is your Secretary of State. Arizona is very small by comparison to California. I certainly hope that you are able to clean your house this Fall too. Having a strong Arizona will have a positive effect on the whole West. Personally, I hope that California goes under financially, and that we have a Republican government in DC when it does. It will be a disaster of mammoth proportions, but I firmly believe it’s the only answer. Finally, to be fair, California suffers from an influx a generation or more ago by Liberal/Marxists from the East Coast. They have formed the nucleus of the group that ‘s taken charge, along with the Mexicans and the Gays. Boxer is from Brooklyn and Pelosi is from Baltimore. So I wish you well. You will need all the help you can get too to stave off the Liberals in your state too.
I agree 100% AZ has it’s own problems with libs etc. And I too hope we can overcome the problems. But my comments, unlikely as they are to ever see fruition, are not flip.
Honestly, put your love of the good things about CA aside and ponder this. You are outnumbered by an insurmountable margin by an increasing, not decreasing lib/illegal population. AZ still has the majority, though it too is shrinking.
We have influence in our state gov where cali conservatives/repubs do not.
Your laws are getting ever more restrictive. We are making slow progress toward less regs/laws.
Greens own the pols of cali as do the homosexual lobby and every special interest there is...growing worse by the week. AZ has been able to slow/even halt their progress.
Of course this could go on for pages, byt I think you’d agree this is true. I hope so anyway. So, that being the case, do you see a path to fix cali? With every trend of import against you (the conservatives?)
It’s lost. That’s not flip. that’s observation supported by factual evidence. No one ‘wants’ to throw any part of America to the dogs, but Cali is already there. We lost it through our own negligence, but lost it regardless. Can we get it back? Not until there is a 180 shift in everything. And that’s not any more likely than my ‘wall it off’ idea...of which I’m far from the first to propose.
