Btw, I have excellent perception and I see things in CA improving. And thanks to Trump era, it seems even the leftist in CA overplayed their hand in CA as well. CA liberalism is starting to backfire in their faces. Lots of people in CA are talking about it. Trump woke up the entire country and it seems the same is now happening in CA. That's the real current state of affairs in CA. ☺
Having lived in the wine country for 50 of my 56 years, I think many Freepers and other conservatives don’t ‘get’ that many Californians are socially very liberal but are indeed prone to bouts of fiscal common sense, such as Prop 13 and other less radical elections.
If one thinks of the typical California Republican as hippy who happens to successfully own a business and thus has a functional knowledge of budgets and the value of money and the discipline to vote for something/someone sensible even if a social conservative would find their views on abortion, gay marriage or ‘cultural diversity’ abhorrent, one might not be too far off (yes, the anomaly of Prop 8 aside).
