It's said Texas vs California is like Capitalism vs Socialism. Clearly Texas has won landslide and CA is on its way to hell, just thinking about breaking into your car and stealing from store for under $900 will not be deemed as crime makes me sick.
So many CA residents are moving to TX, in the hope of what?
Their first to-do item is to turn TX into CA, all those socialism and liberal bullshit. They did the same to Oregon, Colorado, etc. It's epidemic.
I wonder why they stopped the initiatives to separate from US? I can't wait to support their efforts. Please go away and leave us alone.
At least stop coming to TX please, we're doing fine, just don't come here and ruin what we had.
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoWhy do people leave CA? Because they don't like what it's becoming. So they move somewhere else. But it's not really what they want, either. What they want is maybe 75% Texas, 25% California. So they try to move Texas, not all the way to California, but in that direction. To the people in Texas, that feels like "trying to turn Texas into California".
- ausjke 7y agoPeople make the state as it is today, so those people are exactly the reason what made CA is becoming. No they don't want to do just 25%, they want to own it and do 100+% their way wherever they migrate to, it's called Stockholm Syndrome. After they destroy a new place, they will move on to yet another state, which is why I call epidemic.
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoYou're assuming that, in bulk, the people who leave are the same as the people who stay. That's possible, but I suspect that it is not actually true.
- ausjke 7y agoI deduced it based on all the people I know who moved from CA to TX, I can tell you there are quite a lot of them. The pattern is quite obvious to me. Over time I adapted to it somehow by reminding myself to stay absolutely politically correct when I communicate with them, which also means, there is no way to develop any friendship at all when you have to act like a politician.
- dmode 7y agoPeople leave every state. CA population is actually growing and added over 2mn in the last decade
- shostack 7y agoWhat a myopic, hateful comment. You are no more entitled to keeping it as whatever idealistic version you have in your head as they are making it into theirs. Also, I'll note that trying to sow discord between groups of people in the US, and very specifically promoting the secession of California, is a known Russian active measures tactic.[1] [1] https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-41853131 https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-41853131

- shostack 7y agoSerious question--what is the best way to report or educate other thread participants about these sorts of things? I cited a credible source as to the usage of that topic as part of active measures. Are we just supposed to let those topics fester here?
