Some of you may know how much I bitch about my home state, but now it might time to get the fuck out of this state.
With Gavin Newson winning the recall election and the vaccine/mask mandates getting ever closer to home, I have been seriously contemplating moving out-of-state to any non-blue state (or even out-of-country). I am the only person in my entire family and friend group to not give in to the vaccine and a part of the few who will openly not wear a mask unless forced to do so. I am also pretty sure that my current company will soon enforce the vaccine so I have been looking for remote software work on the side. So there is nothing much keeping me here in California.
But I also know that other states that are currently anti-left could change their politics due to changing demographics, shitty governors, etc. So one could argue to stay here in California, find like-minded folks, and fight as long as I can until I die standing for my beliefs. I live in a very blue part of California, so I could also look into moving into a more red part of the state to maintain my sanity.
If people here think the leftist cancer will spread to red states, then I might as well hunker down here in California and make the best of it, but if there are bastions of sanity in other states, then I should make a game plan and try my luck there while I have no major responsibilities tying me to California.
And no, I won't be voting for leftist policies that destroyed California so suggest your current state if it is based.
I voted for Larry Elder in the recall election. It is a shame he didn't become governor as he really could have changed California for the better. But it may have been a fool's journey as California is one the most blue states in the US.
