Once a State gets to one-party status, its all over, just as is the case in the Dem controlled cities. The typical response, as we have seen with the cities, is that as the Dems raise taxes, people of means and businesses simply leave and the end result is Detroit/Baltimore.

NYS just got there last year. Its the beginning of the end. You will have a wealthy class (that takes steps to mitigate their exposure) and working poor who service them and a destitute class. The middle class is typically destroyed. People are leaving in droves. Upstate is being depopulated. NYC is losing 300 people a day. (Who are moving upstate until they get a load of rents and taxes.) Anybody I know who is retiring, is leaving within a year. All of them.
“Once a State gets to one-party status......”
For all intents and purposes, they already have this. In their local elections, only the top two winners of the primary, which contains all parties, go on to the general election. This means that they could have two of one party in the competition unless there are write ins. The state is ultra liberal and has had situations where there were only liberals on the final ballot for offices. This basically is how California has remained so liberal over 50 plus years. And with a system like this, it is easy to foul voting results or actions for state or federal elections. Can’t trust them.

Cali is a statewide single party disaster zone. Illinois is getting closer. So is NY.
