    And there are Californians, as well, switching sides.......because of what they came from.

    You do realize that campaign backfired massively, right?

    Ya just never know, though.....

    https://www.city-journal.org/california-migration-politics

    .......What set the Berkeley poll apart is that it also asked residents their party affiliation and how they characterized themselves politically—revealing a sharp divide. Conservatives and moderates are the most unhappy with the state and most anxious to leave. Liberals, by contrast, are mostly staying put, and some think life in California is just great. Only 38 percent of Democrats said that they were considering leaving, compared with 55 percent of independents and 71 percent of Republicans.......

    Sure, and.....?

    Personally, I loved the "People in Oregon don't tan....they rust" billboards.

    A California Republican does not necessarily equal a Texas or Florida Republican.

    Time will tell.....and you and I are both of an age where we might not see the final results.....but I'd bet that the influx is more likely to swing the state to the left than to the right over time. And it might not even take a very long time....

    You seemed to love a policy that didn't work, hurt Oregon economically, and made us look backwater.



    Oh wait, that's what you thrive in.

    Don't read too much into this. Oh, wait! You can't help it.

    The issue at hand was that, back in the 70's (I think), Californians were moving in droves to Oregon skyrocketing the property values. McCall started that silly campaign, but, as you mentioned, it was a failure. I mean, aren't folks from California still migrating to Oregon, continuing to drive up real estate prices?

    And whether they admit it or not, I assume taxes are a large part of the reason for leaving California. Easily understandable until they find that a state with low taxes is not sustainable if they expect any consistent level of halfway decent services. Of course, who needs services when you can own the libs by defunding those services........or declaring them illegal.

    One of you should break the bad news to California that ABM is never moving there.

    Meanwhile, you don't offer anything cogent to counter that. Mere stabs.

    Shared this a different time. But this is 100% ABM posting with his awwww schucks routine. I wouldn't want to be around his computer room. Probably smells like bleach.
