And yet people like you said that no Republican would ever win Virginia again and yet look what happened with Youngkin in 2022
It took Virginia pain to get people to vote against the party that was causing them pain. It’s the same with California, except to a different degree.
It takes pain. A liberal will vote liberal until how he is voting costs him. Whatever the liberal issue is, it has to cost them before they stop voting liberal. Take illegal immigration, for example, when it was just the border states getting hurt, they didn’t care. They called Republicans racist for not supporting open borders. When those border states made the liberal states feel the pain of illegal immigration, it suddenly became an issue for liberals.
Californians must become irreparably hurt before the liberals in California will change their mind and start making different voting choices. Until then, get out while you can.
