Just leave your politics back in California.
I see that in Oregon as well, moving here because they destroyed California with their politics. My concern is they will move like locusts consuming all the resources and leaving a wasteland behind like they did in California. I can already see where they are starting to do that in Oregon.
These are emotionally loaded terms.
There are people moving to and from all states at all times. Water is wet. Demographics will change. The sky is blue.
Those are not emotional. Those are facts.
Maybe you haven’t kept up. California is having a large exodus. It not business as usual.
