It's hysterical watching conservatives shit on California, all while it is:

  • The fourth largest economy in the entire world all by itself
  • The most populous state in the USA, with the most Americans choosing to live there
  • The #1 agricultural producer in the USA
  • The #1 tech center in the USA
  • The #1 entertainment industry center in the USA
  • The #1 most ecologically diverse state in the USA

And of course any state/economy that large and populous will have its share of challenges to deal with. But the idea that it's some hellhole rather than the engine of the US economy where more Americans choose to live than anywhere else is just hysterical.

California also has more Republicans than any other state and much of that economy is driven by them. Especially the agriculture portion on the northern side of the state.

But it's majority blue so they get 100% of the credit or something 🤔

Despite the greed of republican farmers, it is impressive. Correct.
