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 just moved to Texas from California a few weeks ago.
Get the hell out of California. In Northern Texas where I am at, I see plenty of people without masks and life goes on like normal.
California has become a sick place. I lived in California for decades but I couldn't take it anymore.
I recommend you consider moving to a red state and help keep them red.
If you're going to move for political purposes, at least move to a purple state to help it get red.
I guess moving to get away from tyrannical overreach is a political issue lol
But yes, I will also look into purple states as well.
Keeping Texas red is also important
