I mean I absolutely hate and despise NY despite living there for 26 years. I finally had the opportunity to move away and did but it was a solid 8 years before I could.
I’m sure there are Californians who feel the same.
Some of them are leaving - and making a big spectacle of it and using their departure to feed into the lie that “EvErYoNe iS LeAviNg CaLiFoRniA!!1!”
But I wish more of the really obnoxious ones would leave. The reasonable Republicans/moderate conservatives? I have no problem with them staying and promoting a different perspective. That’s good for the state. But the reactionary hard-core cult members can fuck right off.
For as much as authoritarians and the GOP voters hate California, a lot of them live there. Just another facet of their “Rules for thee” lifestyle.

Think of Trump, a billionaire New York real estate mogul, who’s made his career off the support of people who… hate rich city-dwellimg developers.

I wish conservatism wasn’t the only different perspective being promoted. It’s the gateway to all the bullshit happening everywhere.
