There is probably almost no point in bothering to bring
this up but not all Californians are the same. As a
matter of fact I’m pretty sure you would find that you
would rather have this fourth generation rural
Californian for a neighbor than your average fourth
generation Houstonian. The Californians I know who have
moved away did so because the urbanites retired here to
the rural hill country, got themselves on the local
planning commissions, then started screwing things up.
You don’t know the decent, conservative Cali
expatriates because they are conservatives who know
to STFU.

I suspect that the liberal Californians who move to
Texas and elsewhere might have gone there because
people like Rick Perry had recruited their jobs away.
Or, maybe because they are stupid liberals they
have never grasped the concept of cause and effect.
I just know that as my own piece of heaven has grown
in population it has also grown in liberalism. I
was among the mistaken who was libertarian enough not
to be worried about the population increases in the
70s and 80s. Yah, big mistake. Your “Kalifornians”
today were our New Yorkers thirty years ago. Yah, we
not only had a liberal urban invasion, we also
had an East Coast liberal invasion.

Texas and Florida were numbers one and two in popular
votes for Trump in ‘16, You know which state was
number three? I’ve been told it was California.
