Vta was conservative generally 25 years ago. California is a cesspool waiting to die. Sorry. Spent many happy years there before the illegals and loonies took over. Miss the weather and my pals but not the idiocy that prevails there.
As former NYers, and residing in
CA for 43 years (and 2 other states before that) because of job transfers, we’ll stay and fight.
The county here is still regarded as conservative.
Naval Base Ventura County is 10 miles away.
One part was formerly called ‘Pt Mugu,’ a Naval Air Station. We all still call it that. A few miles away from there is Port Hueneme, the Seabee Base. Both bases bastions of conservatives, mixed in with their near-by towns.
Don’t like Jerry Brown, but this county is okay for now. We’ve got good Republican leadership in Ventura County. Don’t personally know of anyone exiting the area.
As is true in many places, it’s liberals around the big cities, but the outlying areas, not as much.
