They did this to Maine and the state is in ruins.

They came from new York, Massachusetts, New Jersey etc. They get involved in politics, become local selectmen, get on the school board - become governor.

They know what’s best for the idiot local natives, though. In many cases they hate them outright. ‘ Love the state, hate the
natives ‘ - I have heard this any number of times.

Many are now trying to get out of the state as it is in just bad shape.

Here is an article about the current state of Maine you might find interesting.

Here is another - pretty scary stats. Job growth in the next ten years is expected to be - 94 jobs in total.

I post these articles for the people in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico to see where unlimited liberal migration to your state could lead to.

These people are so damned arrogant they never once consider
why they had to leave their home state to begin with.

WESTERN Oregon or Washington state may be far more welcoming

My son is moving his company and his family from Mountain View to Reno. I’m waiting to hear if they made a deal on a home today.

My 30 year-old son just moved to Reno and was immediately informed by his co-workers that Nevadans detest Californians.

I understand Arizona is a bit more accepting.

Who bought up all the affected prime farmland when Obama turned off their water and bankrupted the farmers? The Chinese?

If their smart phones answer "EEEEEEEEVIL Republicans" they're gonna believe that.

Maybe if they voted differently the cost would go down.

They’ll blame Arnold, Bush, Cheney, Anaheim (Liberals call it Klanheim) Orange County housewives, white people, Trump for them moving out of California.

“————They get involved in politics, become local selectmen, get on the school board -—————”

-

And who votes for them at the very local level? People from Maine. They allow themselves to get snookered.

1 year and I’m leaving California. One more year, baby! I can’t wait. Taxes, regulations, high cost of living, liberal idiocy. There is nothing here but sunshine and natural beauty and those just aren’t enough for me to put up with the 4 reasons I just gave why the People’s Democratic Republic of California sucks.

Bye bye. Down to my last year and then I’m out of here! Whooooooshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Not me. I am a Californian who was heading to Virginia, but it is now going full-boat commie liberal. I never thought I would see the day when the beautiful free Commonwealth of Virginia would be overrun by commie liberals. It makes me furious.

So now I have no clue where I’m going, but Charleston SC is the front runner. Mount Pleasant to be more exact. But I haven’t ruled out North Myrtle Beach SC if I can find a safe neighborhood that I’m sure is low crime. The boardwalk is awful for crime in the summer.

I may not be a die-hard conservative compared with somebody born and raised in Alabama or Idaho, but I can be trusted to vote a straight conservative ticket. I’m leaving California because I hate the rules and regs that make it what it is. The last thing I want to do is move to a new state and bring California with me.

Sorry. Texas is already full of illegals and freeloaders. Go to AZ. Their politics have crashed and burned already.

"There's also concern among people looking to retire and having their income taxed into oblivion."

It would ironic if long-time CA observer, Joel Kotkin, 66, had to abandon CA in retirement, due to taxes.

Some parts of Arizona may be like WESTERN Washington/Oregon ... like Tucson Flagstaff and Sedona. The rest of Arizona pretty much despises liberals ... especially Kalifornia liberals

In my nice midwest town I now see almost as many CA plates as I see from some of the neighboring states.

The Progressives with their many different Left wing friends keep digging California’s hole deeper and deeper.

If we didn’t need to stay close to raise our granddaughter we’d be gone.

Our situation is caring for my wife's elderly mom (in her mid-90s with dementia), besides babysitting a granddaughter. Our eldest daughter and her husband and kids left SF for Iowa. She said it was too expensive here, and her husband was homesick for Des Moines where he was raised. She had a good job here, making over $150G and gave it up. In Des Moines they bought a run-down mansion for $80G, owning it outright now, and remodeled it into what would be a luxury home in SF. Easy going life now, no congestion, friendly people, with a lake, parks, museums, library, schools and cafes within walking distance. Plenty of normal folks there. That's where my wife and I will probably move. A younger daughter of ours lived in Austin Texas for some years, but came back here to the SF Bay Area. She missed the cosmopolitan stuff of the Bay Area (Austin is a dead zone in comparison). Higher costs but she has a good-paying job. It isn't all bad here, if you can afford it, because there is a lot to offer in California if you ignore the liberals and live in pockets of conservative areas.

“Nor do I. Instead I have mind-bending, near daily conversations with Millenials who are well into their third decade who STILL buy into this crap. I think they’ve been totally captured by the Left and it’s just a matter of time till the country goes Socialist.”

Unfortunately, my experience matches yours, and I’ve come to the same conclusion. I sincerely hope my time on this earth is over before the left claims their victory.

The problem is that too many of them bring the Kalifornia mentality with them.
