Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire 1 million + high income people flee Cali

I think he's referring to the same phenomenon that plagues many West Virginia voters. They work the coal mines, own guns, hunt, fish, many attend church, and generally want left alone... and vote Democrat. Why? Usually, because... "the Democrat's for the working man! Pappy and Daddy voted Democrat, and by golly that's good enough for me!" It's some sort of weird generational thing. That and many of the unions STILL push for Democrat votes. Don't ask me why.

Anyway....is 100000 really considered "high" income in California?

Maybe in some California hillbilly area or something. Of which there are a lot of apparently.

Try 4.5 million. 39 million is the entire population of the state.

Not in the Bay Area or LA/SD metro areas. That salary is what a good secretary makes in SF (not including benefits or bonuses). $500k is probably the lower level of "high income" in the urban parts of CA.

I'm one of them. I hope by next year I will be one of you guys.

I am a refugee in the country of my birth. One day I hope my vote is not dismissed.

Too many fools rushed into California because it was great. We have up to 13 million illegals. We have the fruits of leftist universities coming here to show how enlightened they are by their zipcode. "Charmed" was set in San Francisco so hot air headed independant women who need their boyfriend to kill spiders, take out the trash, and pick up dog poop flocked here. Guys looking for puzzie were sniffing behind them. Latins claimed it. Asians claimed it . Leftist claimed it. Wannabee hippies try to recreate a falsehood.

They all seem to embrace "hip hop". And declare me a racist for my military service.

Guys like Morewood and Persiandog have found me and give a feeling that not all is lost.

But I think it will take a rain of fire.

You're in Vacaville? Glad Manson didn't get out.

I swear, 24hcf should be sponsored by the MT real estate association. There is more talk on here about moving to MT than there are discussions of BT vs. Partitions vs. Accubonds.

Have I mentioned the holy virtues of the 6.5 Creedmoore?

Whether for good or bad, California has usually been ahead of the curve compared to the rest of the country, just takes longer to settle into flyover country. My fear is that we've peaked as a nation and are "victims" of our own success by virtue of having too much time on our hands and the communists having full access to our young people via the education system. From what little I know about history, appears to be that great things happen after societies go through a lot of suffering,.... if they survive....

Glossary of the Gothic: Fin-de-Siècle

Literally meaning “end of century”, fin de siècle Gothic refers specifically to the Gothic literature of the last two to three decades of the 19th century. There is a pervading sense of instability and unease; an age was coming to an end and things would change, not necessarily for the better. This is reflected by the idea of human devolution or degeneration, seen in Stevenson’s Olalla, where we are able to see the full effects of the devoluted foreign family in the figure of the mother and brother. In Stevenson’s Jekyll and Hyde, it is made worse because the upper-crust Dr. Jekyll transforms himself into the degenerate Hyde. This choice, however, is gradually taken away from him, and he loses control so that he becomes involuntarily trapped in the form (and personality) of Hyde. The devolution of a character is sometimes accompanied by a destabilizing loss of control, not only in the personal sphere, but also in terms of the empire and its inability to ultimately control the Hyde-like natives. The fatalistic sense that the civilized Jekyll would be subsumed by Hyde, taken in this colonial context, suggested a strong belief that Jekyll would have done better not to indulge in Hyde, but should have remained with the civilized elite who were his friends. Anxieties about the city and its future are also a feature, in the recurring image of a threatening cityscape that is always possessed of a dark underside capable of hiding characters like Stoker’s Dracula and Stevenson’s Hyde. The foreign threat appears in Dracula, who not only threatens the loss of life, and civilized living but also the women, so that the very future of the city is one of parasitical creatures who are sired by a foreign menace. The twofold threat here is thus not only that of diluting racial bloodlines, but also of losing the culture of this city to the lesser foreign type.
