[TheWhiteMarten]

6th in violent crime rates.
2nd in property costs.
1st in abortions - a result of poverty and racial discrimination.
High in the CPI (corruption perception index,) although admittedly perhaps a little less corrupt overall than states like New York and Illinois. 
Worst RPP in the nation.
Worst city hit by inflation.
30% of the countries homeless population.
God knows how many businesses from California have moved to my neck of the woods, as well as plenty others to other states.

Hard to guess on drug addiction as multiple drugs in California have been decriminalized.

In simplest terms, we do not "care" what happens in California; the political framework of the United States of America allows for each state to operate as essentially it's own nation, and the reality is that issues such as "should criminals be arrested" and "should women kill their own children" *are* questions better left to the people of a community than some politician in D.C. - we can disagree with it in other states and ideally we should stop doing business with places like California, but if Americans can not decide on issues like this then again... states' rights trump all.

As long as California minds it's own business, they are free to be *the worst* nation in the union; hell, they are free to give everyone a free Bentley and a 75,000 square foot mansion - truly do not care, good for them if they do.

But as long as they want to dictate the laws of the rest of us, they will continue to be mocked for all the failures of their state.

Sounds like that’s exactly why all of you lot want to be there - just think of all the poor minority drug addicts seeking reproductive care you’ll get to abuse. Good times, amirite?

Don't worry, Trump will be mandating 60mg TDS-curing pills day 2.

I get it's hard, but you have to face the music; Trump won because people are tired of the Democrats exploiting minorities and the poor, and they are tired of being told that it's not the Democrats doing it.

Planned Parenthood has not been supported by Republicans and is most heavily concentrated in African American neighborhoods, where African Americans are disproportionately affected by the dark blot upon the moral fabric of humanity known as abortion. The same Planned Parenthood formed during the eugenics period by a woman who explicitly wanted to see "undesirables" - the mentally ill, wrong ethnicity, the poor - sterilized and removed from society.

It's not Republican states legalizing drugs; it's not Republican states decriminalizing drug use on the streets; nor is it Republican states claiming that anything less than $950 in stolen goods shall be unpunished.

Yeah, it's infuriating to know you've been lied to; trust me, I know; but digging into racist policies that hurt minorities and women will not fix itself if we give it... "just ONE more decade!"
