I remember a time long ago when California was that way... but then came liberalism, and now the once-golden state is conquered territory, firmly and forever under the jackboot of the democrat caliphate.
The problem is actually with the urban areas rather than out in the country. If you look at the county map even deep blue California is red in the counties that are not LA, SF and Sac.
It is the same all over the country as well. The cities are controlling the rest of the state because of the popular vote. I have thought for some time that we need some sort of electoral college or something to counter that. Perhaps each county is given one elector and one only to vote for state offices. that way the lower population counties would have an equal voice with the cities that have become nothing more than hives of Statist groupthink.
Exactly.
I live here. The people here have their heads firmly embedded up their rectums.
They don’t like oil. They don’t like oil drilling onshore or offshore. They don’t like oil companies. They don’t like oil refineries.
Then they wonder why our gasoline prices are the highest in the country even though our state is blessed with an abundance of oil. This is what annoys me the most about my fellow Californians. They are absolutely clueless.
