#1 Well, we don't move away from them. We try to work with them and hope they can find redemption.

Well, there sure have been a heck of a lot of them moving to other states. We can only hope they moved because they were fed up with the status quo. Similar movements have occurred in other blue states as well leaving benind high taxes, over-regulaion and corruptocrats.

#2 They came with far fewer skills, and they came in mass over the last 30 years.

Let's see 2022 - 30 = 1992. Wasn't 1992 the year that Bill Clinton won the presidential election? Yeah, it was. He may have been a pervert but he sure knew how to turn California blue. Biden is doing the same thing now to the rest of the country.

#3 So, upper middle class and working and middle class Hispanics (that are 40% of the CA population) are undergoing — I'm not even sure they're fully aware of it in the abstract — the most radical political shift in my lifetime.

The current chair of the California Republican Party is an Hispanic woman and one of the candidates for governor is Hispanic.

Some members of our Asian communities are shifting to the GOP as well, especially those who fled communism in places like China, Cambodia and Vietnam. They know what happens when communists take over and they get very emotional when they talk about it.

So I suppose there is hope. It's exactly the kind of shift that Democrats deserve. I just hope it's not too late.

#4 There are currently NO GOP folks occupying any statewide office positions in CA. None. Dems have super majorities in both houses of the legislature. This is not going to change. I wish it were otherwise but no. I'm born, raised CA. I've seen all that has gone down. Short of getting nuked, nothing is gonna change in CA, the Dems - with the fealty of the CA GOP, have seen to this. At best, we can hope for a blip, but nothing more. CA is nothing more than the Dem's Potemkin Village. None of it is based in reality.
