We don't all “act like uneducated adolescents”.
If I'm not mistaken our great Jim Robinson lives and breathes here.
Our problems are many when it comes to voting.
Immigrants who tow the line and vote for Dems because that is what they are told to do.
Many young people are told to get into some kind of activism, (environmental, social, animal, etc.). Then of course they are made to believe Repubs hate trees and babies and puppies. So of course they vote Dem.
Hippies from the 60’s who wandered here and never left. Their deep brainwashing happened so long ago, I believe voting Democrat is like breathing air for them.
And lastly you have the uppity, rich, dogooders, who want the world to believe they are good and money hasn't changed them......so they vote Dem. (This of course includes many in Hollywood)
But after you take away all the above, you are left with some amazing, hardworking, family oriented conservatives.
We vote conservative just like you.
I just pray our numbers out number the leftists.
I will not give up on California. We will win her back someday.
I hear you Aurorales, but the dysfunction is so deep I wonder if what you wish is possible.
I suppose it’s a little like waiting for a drug addict to hit bottom and finally do something effective to turn their life around. It may or may not happen. One thing I’m certain of and that is the money will run out. California’s economy will crash if voters there keep electing people like Ahnold, Boxer and Moonbeam. Again, the economic crash is only a matter of time. As much as you love the area you live in the question is will you live to see the rebirth?
I fled NJ precisely for that reason. Gov. Christy is doing many things to try to fix the state. But I’m 67 living on fixed income. I couldn’t afford to wait for things to materially change. Now live in SC. Property taxes went from over $7000/year to under $1000 and next year, because of senior allowance, my income tax will be even lower. All insurances went down—significantly. Food is a bit more expensive, but we are finding ways to mitigate that. Point is the tax and insurance savings is real money in our pockets. We’ll be able to do more traveling to visit the children and grandchildren. But most importantly, we will no longer have to make up our income deficit from savings/investments. This translates to more money we can leave to our family members.
All of the above assumes, of course, the defeat of the Usurping Marxist Onada’s agenda.
