State is run by morons.
California is the wealthiest part of Mexico. What’s the problem?
RE: State is run by morons.
What does this tell us about the majority of voters?
S***hole State.
Because they are well on their way down the path that Venezuela started on in the 1990s.
Well on its way to sh*thole status.
Mexifornia libs are successfully approaching the progressive utopia: Rich folks and the slaves who support them.
What’s the problem .......s***hole state is forming...working as planned by the fn morons that run the state...
And all duly institutionalized. What’s not for a lefty to like, till it gets so topheavy that it falls over.
OK, all you Holly-Weirds open up your wallet and empty it. Your SSreong-Box to!
The problem isn’t even “nonwhite” races per se. Some people of all of these races know how to do “redneck” well. The problem is how easily they are weaponized by progressives. I won’t weep a lot when these “ethnic tanks” finally come bearing down on the progressives.
Any description of Mexifornia should include the word “magnet”.
Think on it.....

The poor are poor because the cost of living is excessively high. In california poverty is relative to earning capacity that is excessively high.
The cost of transforming a desert into a thriving region is beyond the regional ability to pay the bill. On top of that taxes based on a percentage of the excessive living costs automatically create poverty.
Having become shitholes, areas in LA and Oakland become magnets for poor because the cost of living is lower.
All illegal immigrants should be encouraged to move to California.
That’s part of the California nightmare. But more economical regions don’t need to be slums either.
“From 1992 to 2015, state and local governments spent nearly $1 trillion to help the poor.”
That’s about $7333/yr each, and does not include federal welfare.
Federal poverty line, for a household of 4, is $6275/yr each. (2x that if alone, decreases on household size.)
"...Counties and local governments have imposed restrictive land-use regulations that drove up the price of land and dwellings," explains analyst Wendell Cox. "Middle-income households have been forced to accept lower standards of living while the less fortunate have been driven into poverty by the high cost of housing..."
Granted, these are their elected officials doing this to them, but it should serve as an object example of why over-regulation and bureaucracy hurts the people it pretends to help.
Another factor to consider is the gerrymandering (er, redistricting) which guarantees safe seats for each party, albeit a lot smaller percentage for Republicans. With that guarantee the parties are free to run extremist politicians that don’t even have to pretend to tack to the middle of the road. once in office, the extemists butt heads constantly with the Democrats winning nearly every time. Then, too, there is the rule that in the final elections, the two highest vote-getters in the primaries appear on the ballot, regardless of party affiliation. Last November the ballot for U.S. senator to replace Barbara Boxer was between a Democrat and a Democrat only.
