California once was governed by Reagan,had a very stable and strong conservative base and rivaled most countries of the world and now it’s a sh*thole. It takes very little time to transform.

I always found it strange growing up in Northern Cali ( Far above Sac) It was always like viewing another planet to the south. As the Liberal mentality crept further north and along with the insane views it became clear as day it was another plant... left in 1999 and boy I am very happy I did.

I live in West Hollywood. If I go to the store 3 blocks away, I am guaranteed to spot 3-4 homeless people/pandhandlers just in that short trek. Sometimes more. One more year and I can retire.

I was outraged in 1986 when Ronald Reagan made the deal with the Devil Democrats on Amnesty.

I was outraged on behalf of legal immigrants, and because I knew he had doomed his adopted state.
