A majority of them have never even been to California yet they seem to talk about it/bash it non-stop.

    I’ve never been to Alabama but I’ll still shit on it because I’ve seen statistics and stories about how bad it is there. Same with Republicans. California is definitely one of the better states to live in by most metrics but it does have huge wealth inequality combined with its large population means there’s no shortage of people in poverty and statistics and stories from that group that fox News can shove in the face of there audience and pretend that’s how everyone in California is living.

      I’ve been to Alabama. I have family in Alabama. I will say it’s probably worse than you think in many ways.
