“Once again, what does CA have to do with these shootings?”
I think their implication is that these things would not happen transplants from California hadn’t changed the culture.
At least that’s my guess.
I do not think that many people in California realize how unwelcome they are in other parts of the country. It is envy, it’s disgust.
It’s not envy. It’s not quite disgust. Perhaps somewhere between disappointment and loathing. A scapegoat for the visible moral decline of the local region, even if it’s happing to the nation, just not as rapid. It’s not just Colorado though. Any area that had been experiencing good job prospects usually had been an island of conservative thought, and these places have, for lots of reasons attracted groups who are not always themselves conservative. Hence the decline of conservative turns and cities in former bastions of hope.
If only the state level had a version of the electoral college, the rural counties would still hold more sway than the huge voting blocks that come out of liberal urban areas. The genie’s out of the bottle.
When I escaped Mexifornia, I’ve told everyone I meet here that I didn’t move from California, I escaped. I made it very clear that I’m a conservative and I want to get away from the liberals and the illegals. So far I have been welcomed with open arms. For the people that have no idea what I’m talking about, I tend to avoid them. I imagine they are either liberals or ignorant.
