A majority of them have never even been to California yet they seem to talk about it/bash it non-stop.

What’s crazy is that, by pure numbers, CA is basically tied with FL as having the second most republicans in the country—at around 6 million.* Only TX has them both beat. Conservatives really do shit on the 2nd/3rd largest enclave of republicans in the country 🤣

*Based on the 2024 US election turnout—not registered republicans

CA republicans hate California just as much

As a Californian I've spent decades watching CA Republicans whine about California then...stay.

I just laugh in their faces now. You're here because it's California and you know it's good. I'm not going to entertain their empty whining. I'll just laugh at them while they enjoy the weather and all the other cool shit they complain about.

Many of them briefly leave, hate it and then come back and continue to talk about how much they hate California. And to them I say: please leave, we have enough people as it is.

Imagine what California could accomplish without having to fight the rural Republican anchor dragging shit down constantly due to their propaganda.
