Wrong.
Everyone we know who fled CA did so for both reasons equally...Don't believe me, just look at this site over the past 20 years or so. Countless bailed due to CA leftist politics and financial reasons. Financial is simply the big bonus prize. And most I know who fled CA are further to the right than most here. No question.
Maybe you can explain how it keep lean got further left. I left in 2016, and listen to DFW talk radio all the time. I cannot believe how left it’s become. Teds problem is he’s not Texas, he’s a puss which is how Beto almost kicked his ass. Corny now, while conservative, is invisible and endemic. When is the last time anyone heard from him on anything?
