California is the most beautiful state in the union. It has the best weather of any state in the union. That in itself has ensured the population grew exponentially. From the time this country was founded.
The more developed and “cultured” an area becomes, the farther left it moves politically. That’s a fact shared country wide. Your policy is dictated by liberal minds. Outside the SAN’s, Los Angelas, and surrounding areas, it’s as conservative a state in this nation. Unfortunately for those residents, they live in a place they didn’t create.
I totally understand the sentiment that you’ve been over run. But, it doesn’t change the fact that few people in this country today are striving to become a resident of California based on its political climate.
It’s not a personal attack. We are all brothers. It’s just the way it is. Same with coal field WV. Albeit due to different circumstances.
