Some of it is the consequence of the old line Trotskyites who hitched themselves to the Reagan Revolution and in the process began promoting their own contempt for the South in conservative circles. This gets picked up by new opportunists like D’Souza who spread it far and wide to a generation whose knowledge of American history comes from Hollywood and schoolbooks written by the likes of Howard Zinn.
Clyde Wilson once pithily described what has happened:
““The offensives of radicalism have driven vast herds of liberals… into our territories. These refugees now speak in our name, but the language they speak is the same one they always spoke.”
Almost everything in your post was incorrect and/or misdirected.
You couldn’t tell me one policy espoused by Trotsky that was part of a platform.
And one of the biggest loads of crap is that the blue states have turned Red ones purple and blue.
What an insulting excuse. It implies the people of those states are politically incompetent boobs easily swayed by the omnipotent Californians
It is only of late that California had a net outflow of population since its founding there were net inflows.
