Better leave before California passes an exit tax.

This is often the argument for more taxes, yet this group of people disproportionally supports the rest of the tax base. California finds out what happens when the top 0.5% takes their money elsewhere. Dumb libs.


They also forget about the business owner that sells their business to retire, and will fall into the top .5% one year out of their entire life, and be taxed at a absurd rate on proceeds that may have taken their entire working life to produce.

That unfortunately may be the political left’s motive here. California will still be blue and if they push enough to Texas, our friends to the west will turn blue eventually. The left gets Texas and patriots can call it a day and go home because it would forever be over then.



not forever. There are only so many states to turn blue. Eventually everything will collapse.

Tell them to move to NOLA with all the hipsters that have invaded the city since Katrina.

If Republicans were smart, they would pander hard to Latinos, many of whom hold very conservative values. This would secure Texas, Arizona and Florida, and maybe help turn the tide in California. They won’t appeal to that voting block though because the party is a joke.

In the last year the Democratic Party has:
- Brought SCOTUS pick into a hearing over fake rape allegations 30 years ago.
- Impeached a sitting president over? (does anyone know?)
- Replaced the leading vote receiver of the Primaries with a corpse
- Laughed at the President about stopping flights from China in February.
- Lambasted those protesting lockdowns while ignoring BLM protests weeks later.
- Advocated for abolishing, defunding, or shifting funds away from police departments. While violence in their cities skyrockets.
- Excused and outright sympathize Antifa and anarchist rioting, looting, and even damaging federally protected buildings and tearing down statues of the men who built this country.


Now, which party is a joke again? GTFO

he problem is they want right sided economic policies and left sided social policies.


If the only left-sided policies they wanted were legalization of drugs, whores, and abortions, they could vote Libertarian and get all that PLUS their right-sided economics.

Then they vote with their feelings and vote for the lefty


And there's the problem.

they move there because their good job is there, and they may know why they’re moving, but they don’t really ask why everyone else is moving

There's a company in the North DFW area which markets to conservatives fleeing California. (They would have expanded to Minneapolis, Portland, and Seattle, but you could put the number of conservatives in those cities in one minivan.)

Sad that you think when I put down the Republicans I must be a Democrat. Breaking news: they are both jokes. You just listed all that shite the Democrats do and guess what, the Republicans have utterly failed to capitalize on any of it.

Where did I say that? Simply pointing out how insane the Democratic Party is. Don’t take it soo personally

That’s your opinion.

IMO - Both have their faults. Plenty of swamp to drain in DC. One is emboldened in their ridiculous and outlandish views.

we agree here. I’m hoping Trump’s change in campaign advisor and recent defunding of campaign ads is a sign of a fricking wake up.

And as far as the rest of the Republicans. Ehh. Most suck. Big fan of Cruz and Crenshaw not being afraid of the mob and media and confronting the bulslhit

A lot of California transplants are more conservative leaning anyways.



Collin County (a very popular destination for Californians) would disagree.

Between 2012 and 2016 the number of GOP voters for President increased by just over 4,000. If you factor in that a lot of voters figured Texas was a safe state and voted for 3rd parties, the number of 3rd party voters increased during that same time by around 17,500.

The number of Democrat voters for President jumped by almost 40,000 during that same time frame. This is 10,000 more new Democrat voters than neighboring Denton County which has two liberal universities within its borders.

With the exception of 1992 and the home-state phenomenon of Ross Perot, Collin County hadn't had less than 60% GOP voting since 1968, the first year it crossed over from Dem to GOP plurality support (and even then you had the 3rd party George Wallace phenomenon affecting things).

Until 2016 when it fell to just over 55%, a nearly 10% drop over 2012.

House prices in Texas are already ballooning during covid.

At least there’s a lot of flat empty land to keep building.

Does OB suck?


Just more homeless and dirtier
PB is better and you are closer to roller coaster in MB so you have the Wavehouse and the boardwalk grab a beach cruiser with your girl and cruise beach and bayside

And then you can cruise to La Jolla
Go to Marine Street beach or Windansea if you head that way

But for sure go to Born n Raised then King and Queen Cantina to drink

Also check out Coasterra you will love the view or Tom Hams Lighthouse and Level C


quote:

don't mean to keep interjecting, but OB is nice, but it isn't as nice as PB. PB has more food/drink options, better parking, and a better beach. OB is nice, but everything OB has, PB has better.



All of this is true. But OB has been infested with Homeless

It's where that lady sprayed the person eating/watching her dog with Mace cause not wearing a mask
