Given your posts in C-D, one would have never expected you to be 61. By that age, most people have woken up and have realized that today's democrats are not your father's democrats. Those democrats of yore could be counted on to look out for the poor, working and middle classes. They never would have tolerated seeing their constituents either being displaced in the workforce or having their wages depressed due to illegal immigration. Today's dems put illegals first and foremost, the heck with American citizens.
California losing taxpayers is not a "revenge on Trump", it's only going to make conditions in California worse.
Much of California's infrastructure is many decades old and severely outdated. Their water and electric infrastructure can barely support the existing population because the state government is full of idiots who are incapable of long-term thinking or planning. Homelessness is out of control, crime is out of control, air pollution & water pollution are prevalent in many California cities, in fact most of the top 10 polluted cities in America are in California. So much for environmentalism!
Welcoming hoards of illegals and not having the proper infrastructure to handle that number of people wasn't such a bright idea after all, eh?
A few facts...
1. California is the most polluted state in the U.S.
2. California is the poorest state in the U.S. (when taking into account cost of living expenses)
3. California has a higher percentage of homeless people than any other state
4. 1/3 of all the welfare recipients in the U.S. live in California
Along with a wave of middle class and poor escaping California's high taxes and high cost of living, recent reports seem to suggest that the wealthy are starting to leave as well -- AND... tech companies are starting to escape and relocate elsewhere too.
If California loses a good portion of their wealthy residents and tech businesses, then the state will become insolvent. It won't be able to sustain itself, it will effectively collapse.
Wow.... exaggerate much? I'm 61 and lived here almost all of my adult life. Thank you for warning me, I had no idea things have gotten so bad here.
Lets face facts, most people leaving CA are doing so for economic reasons, not guns, Jesus or crime. Its the same reason I've watched people flood INTO CA most of my lifetime. Good jobs and opportunities for educated workers are always here. The people leaving are generally working class people looking for a lower cost of living or retirees whose retirement is subsidized with capital gains from selling their $600,000 home.

Todays republican is not your fathers republican either.
Actually, folks do hate California. And the folks who hate it most are its neighbors - OR; WA; ID; MT; WY; NV; CO; KS; AZ.
You will notice that some of those states are not next door neighbors. And it should be pointed out that it is not California they hate. It's Californians. https://alt1037dfw.radio.com/blogs/a...art-of-country
Pubs looks to the future and they don't see themselves playing the major role that they have for the past 35 years.
And they react by doubling down on exactly what's making them shrink; social conservatism, science denial, theocratic baloney, etc. And now, they've devolved to, "tax cuts/trickle-down and whatever tRump just said."
I DID forget Utah
But the map shows New Mexico hates Texas more than it hates California.
The map does show - very clearly - that California is the most hated state. But look at Florida and follow the color code....... Florida hates Florida!
And California? ..... They hate Texas. Probably for stealing all the good people.
