... as a Californian, I just laugh and laugh at the out-of-state armchair "experts" posting nonsense about my state. You might as well hang a sign around your neck that says "I am Ignorant and Misinformed." California Haters are gonna hate.
Hey; when they're busy little lemmings busting on you guys, at least they're leaving the other "Ca" alone.
CA governor Gavin Newsom wants California to be "its own nation state." That sounds to me like secession. California has the world's 5th largest economy and an estimated population of 40 million+: more than enough to be an independent nation. Question is would you be unhappy if California seceded from the United States?

Your state is a festering **** hole, most of us have spent plenty enough time there to know the truth about California. You're overrun with illegals, your most beautiful cities now have streets filled with **** and drug addict needles. People like you love to claim it's the greatest state in the nation while you live in your rental homes located in low class neighborhoods dreaming about one day being able to enjoy all the things you brag to other people about.
We don't hate CA, we hate what people like you have done to it.

How does it feel for someone to cast aspersions on your state?
As for the state I'm living in now --- Have at it Lately everybody from the NY Post with their headline "Virginia is for Losers" to people elsewhere in the country are "cast[ing] aspersions". As for me, I'm having a good chuckle thinking about what a mess those politicians are currently in I didn't vote for anyone of them.
I have visited every state in the union except North Dakota. (Just never found a compelling enough reason to go there.) I actually was surprised at how beautiful Oklahoma was. The Talimena Scenic Drive is especially breathtaking. West Virginia is beautiful, as well. But while I enjoyed visiting, I never would want to live anywhere that regressive and backward thinking.
And I lived in California for about a year as well, and absolutely loved it, from Long Beach to Crescent City. It's where I plan to go when my family obligations here are finished.
So no, I have not lived an insular life.
Yet, you still call those states "regressive and backward thinking". You obviously didn't meet many people when you were there. I'm guessing that you didn't want to make an effort to talk to people that, in your imagination, are all "regressive and backward thinking". What a shame that you are so closed-minded.
You should visit ND sometime. It's well worth a visit. However, since you already have prejudiced opinions of red states, you probably won't like it there.

Spot on!!
No hatetred for California or her people at all. What most of the Union resent is that California is trying to force her values and views onto the rest of the country.
I'm a Center-Right leaning person, with some liberal beliefs, but I can't go with the Far-Left/Socialist ideals and plans since it would wreck the entire country. Europe is falling a part and moving towards the Center/Center-Left since several decades of Far-Left/Socialist governments are on the verge of failure AND basically having no choice but to follow what ever France and Germany comes up with AND fall in line to whatever comes out of Berlin and Paris.
The amount of hatred for California on this thread is beyond absurd.
There is no hatred of California, but there is deserved hatred of Californians who want to rule people in other states. That is not how this union was supposed to work. It was supposed to be (1) self-government at the State level plus (2) interstate cooperation on matters of joint interest, like national defense and regulation of interstate commerce (like the USDA inspecting meat). Voting for a powerful central government to impose your will on other states is perverted and wrong.
