Your post is it in a nutshell.
My heart breaks for my conservative friends in California. Their state is not only broke, it is going to go catastrophically broke. And there is zero doubt they intend to make the Federal Government somehow ride to their rescue, while they grinning and contemptuously give it (and all of us who pay federal taxes) the great big middle finger.
They have destroyed their energy sector. They have so poorly managed their water in the last century, it is going to hit with a vengeance.
They have turned every underpass and empty space into filthy homeless drug dens.
They have taxed and legislated in a way to drive every sane industry out of the state.
How do they think they are going to pay for reparations which shouldn’t be paid at all in any case?
My heart breaks for conservatives who live there, especially those who grew up there. I pray for them.
Thank you! Born & raised, and my hometown on fire.
Every day it’s like waking up realizing, “No, it wasn’t just a nightmare - California out of control!
