On the subject of Californians ruining other states, I just want to remind everyone that Beto O’Rourke enjoyed the support of a majority of native born Texans. He lost because the majority of transplants supported Ted Cruz.

Californians aren’t ruining America. Americans are ruining America.

No. Idiots that bring the same politics that drove them away from their home states and vote in the same kind of politicians are the problem.

What's the definition of insanity? Transplants truly effed up Colorado. They have the potential to eff up Texas. Yeah, they are the problem.

North Carolina got a one-two punch; low cost of living/low unemployment plus a generally pro-business/HUGE tax incentives government to lure businesses from high tax states, and with them comes the 50,000 employees who bring their 'values' with them. The cities in NC are just as liberal as most others, but probably not as extreme as San Fran or some others, but the rural areas are HUGELY conservative.

If things were working under Constitutional limitations none of that should matter. They could want what ever and go pound sand instead.

Back to the rule of law. Those businesses shouldn't be subsidized in the first place, but since they are the "their business, their rules" line needs to be replaced by "publicly owned". Publicly subsidized venues deciding they don't like what someone has to say should be handled exactly the same way as an atheist mayor shutting down a Methodist church cause they dislike the message. Charge both perps(initiators and lackeys) with violating rights and go.

I used to be angry Oklahoma didn't go after the high tech industries more when they were moving from Cali and other blue states.

I'm pretty happy about it now. I do think they should have made a hard push for Magpul when they abandoned Colorado.

Both Apple and Amazon were angling for new business campuses near me; Apple decided to partner with Duke and build a small campus, Amazon chose a different state. I used to be all "bring them here!", now, I lobby for them to not get incentives and tax write-offs.

A small tech company relocated here from Silicon Valley, and a guy who came with it bought a house around the corner from us. he said "this place would be so much better if the politics and culture was like San Francisco." That, mi amigo, is a red flag.

I understand what you're saying but after spending a lot of time around Tinker and the Tulsa area you really do have a lot of tech business in the Sooner state, and no masks, and buffets, and a very libertarian view of many issues. All in all a much better state than most.

Two words for the "tech" businesses in OK: Government Contracts

The USG is the largest employer in the state.

I was born in Portland in the late 80's. Growing up there I always heard adults bitch and complain about the Californians moving into the area, fleeing the CA BS. Flooding SW Washington and NW Oregon. It was fine for awhile, until they got involved in the politics and started cherry-picking what CA views they agreed with that OR, and WA did not have.

This is the exact reason why NW Oregon, and NW Washington is so insanely liberal now. Oregon used to be Liberal run, but still respected that most of the state was Red, same with WA. The transplants over time and through the ballot box, changed those areas into what they allegedly fled.

Please state your source. Or is this just intern BS that the Left likes to use to make up the facts?

I would like a source on "majority of native born Texans" voting for Francis and majority of transplants supporting Cruz. I won't hold my breath.

A CNN exit poll showed O'Rourke beat Cruz among native Texans, 51-48 percent. In contrast, 57 percent of people who had moved to Texas said they voted for Cruz, compared to 42 percent for O'Rourke. - The Dallas Morning News

Texans will **** up Texas. Coloradans ****ed up Colorado. It’s not the liberals fleeing California - why would they? It has the policies they support. It’s the conservatives who are fleeing California, looking to move to places with policies and views that better mimic their own.

[Artos]

So your basing this on one cnn exit poll as the gospel?? That's brilliant...I have several friends in Austin / Lake Travis, Dallas & Houston & they swear the outsiders moving in these area from other states all lean far left. Conservatives aren't going to move into an area they just tried to escape. If that exit poll was done solely in Austin it would be skewed way to the opposite conclusion.

It's my opinion Californians, NY'rs and the far left like are fleeing because they love their money more than their politics. A cnn poll??
