We did all we could to try and “fix” this state. We went to every local, state and federal meeting and voiced our opinion.We went door to door, when we could, to make sure all voters knew what was going on. It did not help at all.
We lived in a somewhat conservative area in Northern CA. Then the Bay area people moved in, because it was cheaper to live in our area.
Soon, we could not say Merry Christmas because someone might be offended. Then there was all this transgender bathroom stuff for school children.
We got hit with a “fire tax” because we had trees in our backyard and they “might” burn.
After that, we could not water our lawns or gardens.
I could go on and on.
We finally voted with our feet and moved away.
We miss our prior home and our friends, but we needed to face reality.
CA is a failed state due to its’ own stupidity.
California is failed in party by it’s own stupidity. I don’t have a problem with that.
While we’re being frank though, we have to recognize other facts as well, at least the Republican party does.
In state the Republican party is worthless. The national entity has also abandoned the state.
Tens of millions of dollars are raised in-state, and taken elsewhere to be spent on campaigns. In state talent that is wholesome, gets no funding at all.
When important elections are held, no big names come here to bolster support for our Conservative candidates.
With no money, no big names, no Republican in-state leadership help, Conservatism has no voice in California.
You can’t sell something most folks aren’t even hearing about.
It takes big loud voices to be heard. It takes money for television spots.
California might just as well already be Mexico as far as the Republican Party is concerned.
The Left funds their people out here. They bring in past presidents, current Senators and Congressmen... the party wants to win California and it leaves no stone unturned.
So yes, Californians should be somewhat responsible, but you can’t have the other side outspending you ten to one, the media only putting their face on television, and them attending massive rallies across the state, and win as a Conservative in the state.
If our people got national and in state Republican leadership support, California would be in play. They don’t. It won’t be.
