Here in Arizona, I find a lot of California refugees are unhappy about California but have no idea WHAT turned California into a rotten place to live. They just think California has a little too much government regulation, taxation, etc. They want California-Lite. Very different from REJECTING the failed policies in CA.
The folks I meet who have left California aren’t conservatives. Just moderate liberals.
Don’t blame native Californians for the mess California is in, it is the liberal fruits and nuts from the other 49 moving there and ruining the state that caused this. Remember this is the state that gave the nation Ronald Reagan. I think, too, if you question these “Californians” who moved to your state while keeping their stupid democrat ideas, you will find that they are originally from somewhere else. We native Californians have more sense and we did not wreck our state. Many of us have left, and have helped you keep your states from going completely crazy. But, unfortunately, now the fruits and nuts who created the mess, are also leaving. (Also, as an aside, I think the real problems began in the 1960s when the electorate thought they would be better served by a full time legislature. I am hoping and praying that Nevada never makes the same mistake.)
Excellent point. I see the same thing.
