Leaving California: Civilization is collapsing in the major cities of the Golden State
American Thinker ^ | 11/25/2021 | Mark Landsbaum

Posted on 11/25/2021 10:46:23 AM PST by SeekAndFind

I ran into an old California buddy online Sunday.  He asked me why I moved to Texas.

We didn't have a lot of time, so I gave him the shortest explanation I could: "It's not California."

For the ten or so friends, all former Californians, who have moved near us in Texas in the last year or so, no further explanation is needed.  In Texas, 80 looters don't pull their cars up to the swankiest department stores and loot the place in broad daylight with impunity.

San Francisco is different, and has been for a long time, nearly as long as it has allowed urinating and defecating and sleeping and shooting up heroin on public sidewalks.

That town's mayor said this week they are finally going to "crack down."  Will police arrest the thieves?  Well, we will have to see about that.  It's still a misdemeanor in California to steal anything under $950 in value.

But they are not going to allow people to park cars near the stores.  That should work — as well as anything else in California works.  It also should discourage paying customers and maybe clear the aisles for the looters.

We've been in Texas nearly nine years.  We've yet to see a human turd on a public sidewalk, let alone a human depositing one.  We've yet to see a mob of thieves swarm a store to take away as much as they can carry while police look the other way.

San Francisco Police chief William Scott told NBC Nightly News stores must be willing to hire security guards to make a private persons arrest.  How's that working out?

Consequently, criminals, some wielding weapons and crowbars, load up, leave, then return for more.

"We get broken windows every few minutes.

“As proof that California is a lost cause, look no further than the last recall election.
They had the chance to replace the incompetent Gavin Newsom with a good conservative, Larry Elder. Guess what? The Californians voted to retain Newsom!They deserve everything they get. The state is a lost cause.”


Like, where do you get the idea that this Calif recall election was more honest than Trump’s 2020 election?
The massive vote fraud of 2020 continues and likely increases, since there was no fraud cleanup and prevention done.

“The Central Valley, 40-60 miles wide and 450 miles long, is one of the most productive agricultural regions in the world, producing over half of the fruits, nuts, and vegetables grown in the United States. It really is amazing.”


Thought it was San Francisco & LA.

There is always LA and Santa Monica; OH, damn, they are shitholes too.

I just forgot because I left there 20 years ago to move to a very small town in Northern California.

In what I hope to live long enough to call the GREAT STATE of JEFFERSON!

It’s *you’re.

And the majority of California flotsam that is infesting other states is native. You can peddle your CNN-style B.S. all you want, but it doesn’t take away from the fact that wussy Californians who destroyed their own state with policies they thought were so “cool” are now fleeing their mess in droves.

When I was working in the Bay Area in 2016-2017, most of the out-of-staters I met were baked liberals from Massachusetts and Connecticut. Freakin’ Patriots fans everywhere.

Santa Monica is fine minus the homeless

LA county is good minus LA city itself

Also the whole “Jefferson” project was a Chinese divide and conquer campaign financed by The Chinese communist party

So your saying California just magically switched from Republican to Democrat for absolutely no reason whatsoever?

“California has been cheating in elections since forever. If you think Newsome won that recall, then you must think Braindead Biden won last November.”

Excellent comment. So true. Happy Thanksgiving to you!!

The shift left was a half-century in the making, caused by outsiders from the East Coast.

Thank you for the perspective and the history lesson. Truly it did not happen overnight. I saw a lot of it happen.

That makes sense. /s

Hence the phrase, “lost cause.” Once the electoral system is corrupted, there’s no peaceful way to go back to how things were.

It’s *you’re. And no, Susie So, *you’re (you are - see how that works?) the one saying that. You’re doing that “so…” thing where you start a sentence with “So…” and follow it by putting *your (that’s the proper way to use that word) convoluted words after it.

I see you leftists doing that all the time. What’s up with that?

California is still a gloriously beautiful and mesmerizing state. If you picture the land, coastal towns and freeways being devoid of any living beings. Just picture all the people having been removed in your mind and you can see I’m right. It’s the type and quality of the people who have infested and sprawled across her body for the last 40 years that is the Disgusting and Ugly component of the state.

Funny how so many states are complaining about leftists moving to their turf from California yet they were silent when leftists were moving to California

You’re illiterate. And proud of it. Just like people on DU.

And I already answered your Susie So question. Here, I’ll say it again for those of you in the back:

No. That’s not what I’m saying. That’s what *you’re* saying. Pay attention.

Same reason Trump lost. D’s had voter fraud on it.

We tried. No honest elections means no honest results.

You are not saying anything and giving no answer to my question because you have no answer so just admit I am right

The Jefferson project has been around longer than the Chinese Communist Party had control of RED CHINA, so I don’t think the MAOISTS had anything to do with the movement to separate Northern California from the freaks/weirdos/and faggots in San Fran, Sacramento, LA or points middle and south.

Do some research.

None of the people I know (including myself) who are involved with the State of Jefferson here in the North State have any desire to kiss RED CHINESE ASS and 100% would rather KILL A COMMIE FOR CHRIST than bow down to GREUSOM NEWSOM’s COMMUNIST INSPIRED CRAP!
