DeSantis/Newsom debate: "Maybe they can get the guy who owns the Uhaul corporation to ask the questions."

Dude! LOL

This debate feels like a set up - there is a definite β€œreason” and it stinks 😷

Also the Uhaul corp to ask questions! Brilliant - that or any Realtor in Ca or Florida who experience first hand all the moving in & out of state!

I am one who escaped the craziness of Commifornia. We could no longer endure the liberal shipwreck it had become and continues to worsen. It has been heartbreaking at times to hear the mindless retoric directed at bonafide conservatives who oftentimes are a greater benefit to the areas they've moved to. Not everyone in CA are liberal just as not everyone in TX, FL, AZ, etc. are upstanding citizens. Think before you generalize, not all are locusts...

If you are old enough, you probably, like me, thought California was the koolest place on earth, back in the day: skate boards,surfing, Hot Rods, fashion, Hippies, Ad nauseam. I have met some really great folks from California. It'd be next to impossible to lump them all in together, logically speaking. That's as insulting as "Florida Man", "Fly-over States" and the like. I get what the not free guy is saying but, with tales of cheating etc.... set aside, sometimes you simply get out voted and sometimes you are simply out numbered which has nothing to so with the way LS expressed the way she (her family feel or represent).

My last trip to Cali (SF, driving along the coast, LA) was in June 1980 so I shall always remember it as a beautiful place. No need to go back there and destroy my memories.

Fraudulent elections had nothing to do with it, huh?

And as far as "you let it become what it has", I suggest you look at the broader Nation in its entirety. We're ALL letting it become a 3rd world shytehole. Before our very eyes.

"You all" - Linda just said there are many who don't belong in the "you all" camp. I believe Linda likely did all she could, as well as the other conservative voices, to rail against the leadership in CA before needing to relocate.

As a California native of nearly 69 years, I must disagree with your statement here. I'm a smallest government capital C Conservative born in Orange County, which until 2018 was solidly conservative. Then, the Communists defrauded everyone in their election cheating. There's no doubt in my mind.

I firmly believe that, aside from completely fraudulent elections, California and all of America would be solidly conservative. When I finally flee this place, it will because I'm moving to a place with solidly conservative values that mirror my own.

I am a 5th generation Cali native whose family founded the state. I left. My family is still there and conservative. They are strangled by all the so called 'laws' that squash businesses and people with high taxes and insurance rates. The Conservatives have no voice in the legislature. My family is super conservative and are sticking it out until retirement. The whole homestead is geared towards surviving when surviving is at it's most difficult. There are some Californians who give ALL Californians a bad name.

Re the Orange County elections in 2018, weren’t there something like 7 Republicans who were initially declared winners, only to be overturned by those pesky β€œfound” votes days after? Including an Asian woman, IIRC?

Same here in MN. Can't get too much darker blue than here. People are under the assumption that we're all liberal af and that's just not true. The urban areas have all the power with the vote. That's where the concentration of Dems are and we outsiders just do not have a chance. Doesn't matter anymore though. There's no longer anything close to an uncorrupted election.

Conservatism is all relative like everything else. A California conservative is first an oxymoron or just a ....

But compared to a SE conservative, I would place my money on the SE erner in a gunfight, survival skills and common sense.

Don't come to CommieRado; we're barely behind your formerly great state. This place is ground zero for Marxism and sissy (Dick Waddams) Republican moderation running his mouth about how Trump and radical righties have ruined the GOP here. While his type has allowed it to fall and become ever more irrelevant for decades before Trump left the Dem Party to join the GOP. The PAINFUL REALITY is (I hear them say) that the Colorado GOP must be a Party of "Moderation" and Independent from Trumpism, what is that exactly? Is it a NEWER GREENER DEAL than the Dems in my state are pushing? According to all the polls, the demographic shifts, and younger more socialist minded voters we are out of step and will further decline into minor party oblivion. So what message does that send? GOP Moderate Marxism is the counter to the Dem Party Vision??? Abandon ship on Conservatism and Freedom? WE DESERVE TO LOSE if we can neither discern nor describe the realities we face and that are occurring under FULL DEMONcratic control of State Gvt. in ColorHateO

In my opinion, this is one of those ideas that was planted by the left to get us all arguing. It seems true and invokes fear, but I personally have never run into someone who fled a blue state for a red state and then continued voting blue.

However, I have met a lot of people in my neighborhood - new housing development in central AZ, an area known for conservative values - who apologize for being from the west coast blue states and profess their gratitude for being in a sane community. There have been a few lefties among the neighbors, and one by one they sell their houses and move back. My guess is they had no idea they would be surrounded by conservatives, don’t like it, and return to their people.

AZ has been turning bluer over the years, but that is because the PHX area is becoming a tech hub with lots of young software engineers moving in from elsewhere. Fraudulent elections help too.

It probably would not be allowable legally, but I've always thought an excellent principle to temper people moving to a State would be strict residency requriements before they were allowed any, or at least most, of the benefits a citizen of a State enjoys. Gone would be the days of welfare parasites getting off the bus and registering for benefits in their new home. "Have you been a resident for five years? Or paid State taxes in three of the past five? You haven't? Well, that's too bad..." "You want to enroll your three children in our public schools? Well, you can, but until you establish legal citizenship, you'll have to pay their tuition..." And so forth. Even middle- and upper- class arrivals should be classified as, hmmm... "legal resident" until they'd met some minimal standards. I suppose we would have to concede them some benefits...perhaps the right to trial by jury and to own property.

Expand full comment

Two things: 1. I think taxes should only be voted on by citizens subject to the tax, the biggest example being property taxes. If one doesn't own property then no say in the matter. Apartment dwellers with children will always vote to raise my property taxes to pay for their kids education.

2. Stop allowing foreign nationals and corporations to own real property in the U.S. I can't own property in the nearby Indian reservations but am allowed a 99 year lease. Same in Canada and as I understand it most of the rest of the world. China won't have to invade if they already own us.

Just thoughts triggered by your comment. Have a great weekend!

My daughter moved out of Illinois last year. A one way UHaul price was outrageous. I suggested she book it r/t--get a local friend to help her with the move and to return the Uhaul. It saved her over $1K.

I don't think it is more complicated than DeSantis and Newsom are trying to bypass the primaries. It's a Democrat/Republican debate before their nominees are selected. It is a way of setting in peoples' minds that these are the acceptable candidates.

I think Vivek is great. I used to like DeSantis, but he's flip-flopped and made some unforced errors in the campaign, just like Scott Walker from WI. I feel bad because I think he is a great governor, and I'm afraid his attempt to unseat Trump will be his undoing.

Will he be a contender to the Pretender In Thief in the Dem. primaries? Neo-Liberal Media will ignore and disparage him and link him to Trump in any way possible for the masses of Dumbocrats who eat up their propaganda. Let's see if he can win a primary or 3 to get some sort of voice amongst the DemoCult voter base although "super delegates" will nullify him yet again. Then the Media WILL extoll his antiVaxxism and other TRADITIONAL Democrat and Liberal views to seduce some of the Anti-Trump Republickins away from GOP primary support and definitely he will get PLENTY of pre-packaged coverage in the general campaign if he is deemed to be pulling Republicans away from GOP Candidate. He will remain a non-factor to media should that not become the case. PS..I was handed a stack of "Republicans for Kennedy" bumper stickers so it's already a FACT that he's being used as an anti-Trump Anti-GOP tool.

We sold a home we had in northern NV, aka California back in 2021. We rented a U-Haul to bring the rest of our goods back to FL. We made the reservation about 10 days out and literally had 2-3 texts or phone calls everyday asking if we would either tow a filled trailer to the East Coast, or drive a larger truck partially filled at a discount and make other stops on the East Coast. It was insane! We were still getting these texts/calls a week after we returned the truck! Finally, my husband had to block U-Haul on his phone! LOL

My library lady still wears a gigantic mask. My husband says "what?" "what?" "what?". This morning when we were picking up a DVD she pointed to the other librarian.

I wanted to say something to the young mask-wearing pharmacy tech at Costco last week, but I’m not as brave as your hubbie so I kept silent. She was really absurd though, with her N95 perched precariously on the very tip of her nose, and wide gaps on either side of her nose, which got even bigger when she talked.

It is a story of rescue and hope and it ends happy. It does not show anything terrible happening to any child. It is not graphic.
