I am a CA native that moved to Texas and believe me FRiend, any thing that even looks like the CA of running things I oppose.
I like being able to homeschool my kids without a ministry of indoctrination looking over my shoulder, buy firearms without a 15 day wait, and build whatever the hell I can afford to build on land I own.
Many of the people leaving CA do so to get away from that crap and have no interest in replicating the government they fled from. Those of us that have working brains saw how CA got turned into a socialist craphole over the last 30 year sand have no desire to replicate that anywhere.
Judging by the results in the states to which your bretbren flee, you are in a tiny minority. Most think they can leave all the bad Effects while they busily erect the Causes anew. They do not connect them. But that sort of thinking makes for good liberal voters.
I’m from Missouri but I got stationed in Ft. Worth, Texas. I like it so much, I’m getting out of the military and staying here to go to college. Can’t complain too much about Texas. It would be nice if automobile companies installed blinkers on their product though...
