They sure do, without exception. They may think they are "conservative". In fact they are just a bit less onerous liberals and don't have a clue.

Case in point:

My new neighbor out here bought out a great neighbor with the fortune they made on their small older house in Monterey CA. He's a nice guy, retired from his state government job and raising his 8 y/o grandson who was a crack baby. He wants to fit in, but it will never happen.

The first things he asked me were where does he go to license his dogs out here in the county (nobody does that here) and where he goes to register his two guns.

Is it any wonder why we hate Californians?

Generally speaking, the southeast is regarded by them as being redneck Trump country and that's largely true.

As for Kentucky, California liberals would be a loose fit for Lexington and to a lesser extent Louisville.

The rest of the state is a very bad cultural fit for Californians. New York City folks wouldn't get along here at all.

Fortunately, they all seem to understand that.


Seems most of the NE liberals run out of gas in either N.C. or VA

Having recently lived in China as well as currently living in California, I can honestly say if you're not openly criticizing the CCP, there's probably less control in China than CA. No [bleep].

And back to the OT.

What a lot of the other 49 staters forget, or fail to realize, is that California has been the gold rush state for 170 years. People come here to make a fortune, then head elsewhere. More than likely, those "Califernicators" you despise, weren't born and raised in California. Instead, like the majority of the state's current population, they came from one of the other 49 states, or from some other country first.

Tracy mentioned San Francisco and its numbskull government, brought on by people trying to move to Paris, but didn't make it across the Atlantic. What he failed to mention is the exact numbers.

I did the rideshare driver thing for a couple years before my current temporary semi-retirement. I drove in SF probably 3-4 days a week, and spent a good time chatting with passengers. My informal empirical polling showed that 80% weren't even native Californians and that 5% or less were born in SF. LA and SF are not so different in these regards. And this is where the majority of the state voting block lives. 9 SF bay counties, and the 4-5 down south (LA, Orange, SD, Ventura, and maybe San Bernadino?)

So, please remember, the odds are that those damned "Califernicators" probably aren't originally from California. Instead, they're just more of those people that came to CA to make their stake and then move on to greener pastures. As has been done for nearly two centuries now.

At any rate, Ranger Green has me beat. While we're both leaving the state and ex-wives behind, I'm not out of here for another 6 years unless my ex decides that I was actually right, and this geographical paradise is rapidly going down the toilet and decides to move. But I know, where ever I go I hope that a local will absolutely punch my lights out if I ever say "Well, that's not how we did it back where I'm from...." Seriously, those words ought to be the get out of jail free card for any assault charge.

Scott, your comparisons of out of staters to California being a cause for the present malaise’s there is a bit like folks from all over attending a college known for its Liberal Arts curriculum. Folks get “changed “, evidently .

Solid red places are going to be purple and then blue. Nothing you can do to stop it.

My small town is getting some Milwaukee and Chicago escapes.

Actually, I feel you've reinforced my point. (Generalizing here) the same folks that would go to a university known for its Liberal Arts curriculum, would be the same sort that would likely embrace the politics found amongst the faculty and staff of the university. Ditto for CA's urban areas in the north and south in that like attracts like. It's not as if there's a huge portion of folks with strong conservative values that move to SF then catch the ghey and turn Pelosi blue. The conservative minded learn to STFU, keep their heads down, make their nut and then move on. Again, hopefully never uttering those famous fighting words: "Well, that's not the way we did it back in SF...."

Very true. The influx is akin to an invasion. Bad part is, we don’t get good rural folks from up north, just the urbanite liberals that want to destroy our state with their existence.

Tracy,

not sure where you're looking in N AZ, or what kind of budget you have for house/property, but if you've nothing against the Show-Low/Pinetop area, St Johns, and over that way you might find something more affordable than Flagstaff/Prescott/Payson area. Especially if you have nothing against relatively nice newer mfg homes.

Sure is a nice area up there, can get a bit chilly in winter but was never "hot" hot, 90F was a heat wave, 95F a rarity, at least when I was there around 2000-2001.

I'd find you a place around here, lot's of reasonably priced places, but then again............it's still in Commiefornia.

Good luck with your search, I'm sure you'll find something.

Did he seem happy when you told him his dogs didn't need licenses and his guns didn't need registered?

Might be he had no clue and was just trying to follow the rules he was used to.

If it had been me, I'd have said "cool"
