You're right. I reside in New York now, but I was in California during the 70s and 80s. The change was dramatic. California went from a reliably conservative state to a very liberal (actually, communistic) state. Except for New York City, even New York State is more conservative than California today.
@aligncare The working class Americans that moved out there for the nice weather and the jobs were replaced by the the professional welfare class. Ironically enough,the hard-working,mostly white people that build up the huge industrial base in California paid the taxes that financed the take over by the professional parasite class.
Just wait until the tax base there shrinks to the point where the money is no longer coming in to pay for all the "free stuff",and the feral government doesn't have enough money coming in from other states to take up the slack. People will be eating each other because there are multi-generational families living there now where NOBODY in the family has ever had an actual legal job,and none of them have the skills to be hired if they could even figure out how to apply for a job if one existed.
And California won't be the only state with these problems. They are just the biggest one with the most problems,and will almost certainly be the first one to experience anarchy.
Which is EXACTLY why the state and feral governments are trying to pass laws to prevent peons from owing or having access to guns. Rioters in some states will have a MUCH shorter shelf life than rioters in other states.
And there is a chance the same thing can be said for the local and state politicians that allowed and even encouraged those situations to develop.
