And NYC.  And San Fran.  And Austin.  Etc. 

It's almost like they hate the group that they want to belong to, but are so odious, they get shunned. So they hang on the fringes like a bunch of dorky losers, hoping for that invite one day.

They hate us cause they wanna be us.

A common thread throughout time itself.

And then, the next step....what we learned on the streets in Syria and Iraq, we're putting to work HERE.  Be prepared for the Regime's Gestapo to Fallujah your ass, disloyal people.

100000000000000000 X THIS.

Every single person freaking out about someone flying a mexican or salvadoran flag 1) has no problem when the Irish and Italians fly them on AMERICAN STREETS! on St. Patrick's day or Columbus day, and 2) they REALLY don't have a problem with the fact that millions of Trump supporters, including people who actually assaulted and trashed the Capitol and had a STATED GOAL of murdering members of Congress, flew the battle flag of a bunch of traitors who caused a war that killed more Americans than any other war.  And their God-King pardoned every.  single.  one of them.

Fuck.  You.  Seriously, if you stand in ANY WAY with the movement shown in that picture above -- and if you support this Regime, that's exactly who you stand with -- fuck you right in your treasonous ass.

 

And they supposedly love "their" country.

r/MarchAgainstNazis - They love their country?

The dipshit Texan's aversion to Los Angeles and California in general always makes me chuckle.

You know what’s funny?  Californians generally have no opinion on Texas.  Pretty neutral other than “heard cost of living is great.  Austin is liberal and Houston has great Vietnamese food”.  No hate at all.

Because Texans are insecure as shit.

We should make Lonesome Dove required reading in Texas high schools. I'm gonna make damn sure my son reads it when he's old enough. 

 

It’s literally a banned book in some school districts.

I think most people don’t give a shit. I love LA and many parts of SoCal. I love Austin. what has transpired in really the entire state, and NYC, are definitively hurting the areas. 

I’m not sure I’ve encountered a Texan who has said one thing about California in years, except that they’re all moving here (which is a good thing) and their state government is beyond fucked, which is corroborated by friends that’ve moved to Dallas from Cali, and native Californian buddies. 

Why on earth would you willingly go to a protest needing head protection?  I do not understand people. 

Just don’t bring your librel politics to my state!!!

 

And of course everyone that is willingly moving to Texas will say that

LOL "California state government is fucked because I have friends who moved to Dallas from Cali"

I bet they're MAGA as fuck friends.

Nah, just common sense. Avoid stuff like:

 

I don’t even know anyone who bitches about that in person, because we’re so right of Cali. The only entities I “know” that bitch about politics are online/on socials, specifically here. 

Your post literally said that your California transplant friends say their government is fucked.  So yea you got our MAGA bigots.  Keep them

Don't forget all the Californians who leave because taxes are so high, so they come to Texas because of the bullshit PR campaign about low taxes and then they get their first property tax bill and home owners insurance quote

Health insurance is higher here, too. And that nasty lil 8% on everything you buy. I've seen several Californians that moved to Texas only to find out the overall tax burden is actually lower there.

Not like having to AC your house for 23 hours a day for 6 months of the year is cheap either

Ok. I guess the majority of Californians like their leadership, regulatory environment, immigration and homelessness policies. I suspect this is all just a construct in my mind, and you and your band of contrarian whiners actually have your finger on the Cali pulse. 

No, its not a construct. Its merely an opinion developed after talking to 2 couples from LA who now live in Texas. Up to you to decided what weight you want to give that anecdotal evidence. I was merely sharing that my experience differs. 

Also:

Quote

Our first survey of Californians and their government this year reveals some good news for a California politician whose popularity is on the upswing. Majorities of California adults (52%), registered voters (52%), and likely voters (55%) approve of the way that Gavin Newsom is handling his job as California governor,

I’ll bet I have a better grasp on the “Cali” pulse from here in SoCal than you do in Prosper.

Why don’t you tell me where I’m wrong whilst remembering you’re not in the Texas Is a Failed State CR thread.

Highland park?   Ok. Good for you.  You’re not gonna believe this but some of us are happy out here.  I know I know it’s not Texas but we make do.

the idea that someone in the surly demo lives in Texas and walks around in Texas and talks to Texans and hasn't encountered a Texan in years who has complained about California or Californians is stupid on its face

Why don’t you take your comments to the LA Cloak Room thread if you want to talk about state government policy, tax rates, and other non-protest-related news topics?

Look, no place is perfect, but acting like CA is some sort of hellhole compared to TX is delusional. We have shitty tax policy, terrible education, pathetic healthcare, lousy infrastructure, policies that erode personal freedoms, etc. When it comes to shitty states, Texans live in a Texas-sized glass house.

Fun fact, some think tank took all of Texas' statutes, and those of every other state, and compiled a "freedom index" based on the number of uses/occurrences/recurrences of mandatory words like "shall" and "must."  Texas had the lowest freedom index in the nation on that basis.

You're really gonna keep on with your incredulity. I hear comments from all the time from random people or sources. None are from my friends.  I have a lot of friends, both here and there.

First off, no you don't. Secondly, that's not what you said.

I’m not saying they don’t exist. I’m saying I never even encounter these people.  I go to LA and NYC frequently. Most people I know have been there a bunch, too. So I guess we collectively know how great it is.

Ok pal. I’m sorry you’re getting worked up. But I do. 

Second, I don’t really encounter them. I hear shit on the radio or TV about California, but every person I know in Texas LOVES going there. Some own homes there, some vacation there regularly, etc. Nobody is anti-CA or overly political about it. 

I don’t know how saying this is the slightest bit controversial. Just a different perspective. 

Gavin Newsom: most recent approval rating = 55%

Greg Abbott: most recent approval rating = 44%

That tells you two things.  First, there are plenty of people in BOTH states who "don't approve of state leadership."  No shit, sherlock, these are polarizing times.  Second....it tells you that MORE Californians approve of their state's leadership than Texans approve of theirs.  

Sure, among the 45% of Californians who don't like leadership, you talk to a disproportionate number of them.  Cool.  Anecdotal evidence is not statistical evidence.  Statistics....are.

Do I think California has outrageously high taxes, a homeless problem, and generally dysfunctional government? Yes. 

If I had the coin to move to a nice MCM house or garden apartment in Los Feliz, would I do it?  In a motherfucking heartbeat.  You wouldn't even get the offer all the way out of your mouth before I'd be trying to sign paper.
