re: Why all the hate for California?

it really is killing me. Can't scroll through social media, news websites, pop cultural websites, or even reddit without being bombarded by some form political post with an obvious slant in either direction.

I quit most social media and don't watch much news. It does get old.

Talking a little politics in a thread on the OT is nothing like the poli board.

If you live here anything north of OC is considered NorCal

Los Angeles is definitely Southern California.

What has he done as President that makes you think this isn't the case? The only fraud here is you.

First of all, he had no plans of winning the election. As I mentioned before, his primary reason to enter the Republican primary was to prevent Jed Bush from winning the primary. The problem was, he was doing his normal Donald Trump bullshite, saying shite that will bring all the attention to him..

The other candidates decided not to be aggressive at the time, thinking that he would do as always and eventually just go away.. Then they can have a serious primary race, but that only allowed the spotlight to be on him allowing him to gain enough momentum that everyone was too far behind.

He didn't think he was going to win the presidential race. This has been documented by quite a few people within his campaign, but he saw it as an opportunity to strengthen his brand. He stays in the news and he picked up certain demographics, who suddenly became big supporters of his, who would only help his ratings in anything he did on TV. That's a start.

Then, once he got in the white house, it was a shite show. He makes news everyday. He is either firing someone, having twitter rants, or saying some bullshite that he will turn around the following week and say the complete opposite of.

I am not saying I am an expert when it comes to reading people, but I can usually tell if someone is sincere. I honestly don't think he has it in him to be sincere and has characteristics of a sociopath.

And would you consider yourself a conservative? If so, that's another funny thing about this. All of these ultra conservatives love him when in reality he is nothing but an aristocratic democrat. His is only republican now because there was more opportunity for him to be a republican.

What makes you think he is such a great president? And why am I a fraud? For having my opinion?

They are in NorCal and they suck it's not just San Fran like you said

Sorry man. No one outside your immediate area considers LA or Palmdale Northern California. I'm mildly surprised at even having this conversation.

I lived in California before I retired from the Air Force in 2013. I didn't hate the state other than the traffic and that it was so expensive to live. I actually liked being out there and, if not for being a very expensive place to live, I would have seriously considered retiring there.

While beautiful, it’s not good for business and actually burdens and punitively taxes the earners.

Take away Silicon Valley and their economy is not as great as it appears.

The problem is that companies are fleeing Cali to business friendly states like Texas but they bring California ideas with them.

Yeah, none of the above is even debatable.

Yea, but not for the reasons you think. There's no debating insane bullshite.
