From 2007 through 2016, about a million more people left California than moved in from other states. Over a decade, that's not bad, although unusual considering California touts itself as "The Future". However, in 2017 alone, 600,000 more people left California to live in other states than those who have moved in, an increase of 500%. That's 600,000 people who can actually afford to move,gone. 600,000 non-paycheck-to-paycheck, tax-paying citizens, reappropriated. Not to mention the coming collapse of Hollywood and the entertainment industry, what can we expect in California that will offset this massive loss of tax revenues? The hell if I'm gonna stick around to find out.
I too am joining the massive Californian exodus. For me and for many others that I've read about online, it's the politics and the culture that's the main reason for people to leave. If you want my honest opinion, I think Californian conservatives have been being driven out of the state through sociological and political means. From office politics to social media shadow banning, when one lacks a sense of belonging, they look elsewhere. My question to the liberal activists who are responsible for this is, how is this going to help you in the coming elections?
The state of California is and has always been a liberal state. It is a place where conservatives have no voice because the state always votes democratic/liberal. How does it help the liberal agenda that they're driving out the conservatives into potentially swing states where their votes actually count for something? If you ask me, that's a pretty terrible strategy and I believe that the 2020 elections will see absolutely no change in states won by Trump with the exception of swing states which will almost entirely be won by Donald Trump in the year 2020.
Great job shaping your future you bright and sunny Californians! From firing the Google scientist for having a gender based theory to welcoming the massive caravan of Hondoran refugees, you sure know how to get the rest of the country to see things your way. Oh wait, you don't need them to see things your way because you're going to secede from the nation and become China's North Korea. What... did you forget that you won't have an army post succession? You'll be fine though. I'm sure MS-13 has guns and stuff to protect you from China's death rays.
INDEPENDENCE!!! \ _ /
