There's a thread about that. IOW, they leave CA because they ruined it and then go elsewhere and ruin it, too.

You need to get a clue.
But really no clue needed at all, since the above happens in every city big and small that is growing because of many decent paying new jobs coming in. The response to crowded schools is more schools built. Maybe you would rather live in a stagnant or declining small rural town where the major two lane street will never need expanded to 5 lanes.

Then why would people from CA even want to move to these places? Why are the h*ll bent on going there and cramming their way of life down the throats of the locals?

I don't know what you're talking about. What "specifics" do you want? Do you not believe that red states and foreign countries are being ruined by the influx of CA residents? I find it very odd that you aren't aware of all of this. Try doing some research for yourself. You don't seem to believe anything I've told you. Thus, I'm done with you. Buh bye!

This video explains why conservative, not liberal Californians are moving to the red state of Oklahoma.

And because of that, the right will never defeat them or roll any of their failed policies back. By winning elections the right may be able to temporarily put a pause to their destruction of the country, but as soon as they regain control they just pick up where they left off. I would love to see huge chunks of the Federal government be abolished and all the budgets cancelled. Let the country live on the Federal Budget from 1980.

Exactly because the Democrats make a lot of noise and the conservatives don't. Until covid and teaching wokeness in schools nobody ever bothered to question Lefty's in charge of various institutions like School Boards. It's only when the left finally went off the deep end and they finally get some backlash in their progressive push.

Trying to normalize transgenderism and sexual topics in people who haven't even reached puberty isn't exactly going to win you brownie points among normal people nor is masking up kids for a disease they don't even get seriously ill from

There's some other great replies above talking about human nature in the fact 60% of people are feelers that make me want to read into the rest of this thread. That number actually goes up as culture gets into what you might call late-stage capitalism where most of the population becomes too comfortable, and perhaps that's why the societies rise and fall because you can't run a nation on feelings you've got to have some practical rational rules in place. Even in my red area people are way too impulsive and Reckless with various aspects of their lives.

Another poster says Democrats understand Game Theory and how to win using collectivism and he's absolutely right. However I could never be a collectivist.... it doesn't mesh with me.

If Democrats are not so bright, how did they take control over so much?

The internet is filled with so much information at your finger tips.
There are so many places to start.

I read up on President Wilson ( D ) and
the reasons he took the U.S. economy
off the gold standard.

He lamented later in life that he regretted
signing the Federal Reserve Act stating
" unwittingly ruining the Country."

Pay attention to unwittingly as there were many other
key players involved in influencing his decision.

This read is not for the feint of heart..........you may never look at the world thru rose colored glasses again............

There's a discussion to be had here but the framing of this thread is not the context to have it in. The left has been selling "something for nothing" for a century and more, and intelligence or lack thereof has little to do with the sales pitch.

Correct, and at the end of the day you're still going to get no free scoop of ice cream, which allows each side to blame the other.
