Here is what is happening; California has a middle class out-migration problem but these people are moving to red states and still voting blue.


Yes, and they refuse to realize that they are the problem to begin with, and will turn everywhere they go into the same problem. They also have lots of house money to spend and drive pricing up to boot.

If there would be a way to educate these people in the failed policies and ideals they think they believe in we can turn it around.

However, They are too mentally diseased. Just look at the ones here as proof. Most of them don't even admit to being liberal even though their posting proves otherwise.

Trump only received 36% of the votes there.

You’ve gone from saying most of California is red, to saying the San Diego specifically isn’t overwhelming liberal. So I take it you pretty much agree now that most of the (legal) people in California are blue since you didn’t deny the other areas were overwhelmingly liberal.

Not bad at all. If the people who stayed at home cause they didn't think it mattered hit the polls it would be closer to 45%. So I stand by what I say. Do you live here?

I live in Dallas & I can tell you this is happening. Example; Toyota just moved their U.S. headquarters to Plano from L.A. A large amount of employees took the relocation package & came to the Dallas area. They basically sold their houses for $500K-$2million in L.A. & are paying cash for homes here in the Dallas area & driving up the market in a huge way. This is one company. There are TONS of companies doing this exact same thing coming from places like Cali & NY. The cost of living has exploded here due to things like this. And yes, they are mostly liberal & will vote Democrat/Socialist.

P.S. My wife moved here from San Fran & is now a huge Trump supporter. Once she left there she saw the light big time. The Bay Area is an insanely maddening liberal bubble. She is a true unicorn.

These morons need to stay in their own state . Liberals ruin their state then move to other states and keep voting for democrats. They need to state in their own state and deal with the the issues they made .

We're over 60% transplants in my area. Stop sending them out here and we'll stop sending them back.

The problem is you’re assuming they would’ve voted for Trump in that case.

You’re basing the “whole state of California is going red” on anecdotal evidence. You think just because you met a couple people (of the the tens of millions there are in the state) that agree with you, that means the whole state is definitely going red.

I was just in San Diego. I met a ton of conservatives and libertarians there. I'm in L.A. now and have only met liberals.

Obviously this is anecdotal, but it was my experience.

By that logic, since you live in San Diego you can’t make any statements (like the whole state is going red) for the whole state.

It seems like you don’t have a rebuttal to anything I said because everything you have said are based off hope, assumptions, and anecdotal evidence.

What makes you think the state is going red for sure in 2020? Like any actual stats or facts? It seems you know less about the state then I do.

I do and agree. The majority of the working class is leaning Trump or have conservative leanings in San Diego.

I don't live in Louisiana, but it's worth noting that California has the highest PPP-adjusted poverty rate in the country and the highest - by far - net out-migration of American-born citizens...far worse than Illinois or New York. Don't act like the place doesn't have serious problems.

People often leave here when they hit retirement age. They think it's a way of life that everyone lives.

The salaries out here are enormous compared to other states. So you can get rich here and then leave. That leaves people here to believe their system works.
