So what's the canned excuses for New York and California where republicans are extinct and have been for over 50 years? Hard to blame ghosts for failures of all those Democrat "good ideas" there. Democrats are the only reason Americans are leaving those states, while illegal invaders are encouraged to replace them.
People leave California for two reasons, economics and politics.
Many people can’t afford to buy a house in California and many can’t even afford to rent a house. The price of Housing, like any product, is driven by supply and demand. There is great demand, despite people leaving, and supply is lacking, because land is so expensive and restrictive covenants that prevent multi-family homes from being built. High paying jobs that are lacking in most other states is the main driver of home prices. Even with 7% mortgage rates, we have not seen a slide in housing prices in California. Rents continue to rise with demand.
If you are a conservative and you can’t stand to see immigrants around you and local governments that encourage new arrivals, then you are going to want to leave California. If you are a bigot who can’t bare seeing people who are different - gays, transgender, women, and people of color treated as humans that deserve equal rights and you are bothered by an overall philosophy of progress and change, then you are not going to be comfortable living in California.
To that I say good riddance. We don’t want you. Move to Texas and Montana where you belong - with the idiots. You’ll be happier there and California will be better without you. And you free up housing for someone else.
And while New York and California can pass state legislation that reflects Democratic values, they can’t always change Federal laws and policies that impact their states.

You two fail. You can’t show five stories that The NY Times or Washington Post wrote that was a lie.
Meanwhile FOX News paid out 787 million for lying about Dominion voting machines.
Anti lockdown protestors neglect to wear masks; BLM protestors need not wear masks (not a lie but glaring double standard)
One example of your nonsense - BLM protesters were OUTSIDE where it is difficult for the virus to spread. Think of the difference between painting with high VOCs outside and in a poorly ventilated room. Kind of a big difference in how it effects the painter, right?

Here’s a quote from another genius
“The indictments have no impact on my support for Trump,” said Sean Roh, 39, who described himself as a reluctant Trump supporter from Linwood, Wash. “In the past I’d followed them in the news, but now I don’t care to read the details.”

“Any time you have a pack of dogs chasing you down and you’re willing to stand firm and fight, you’re going to get my vote,” said Mallory Butler, 39, who lives in Polk County, Fla., and supports Mr. Trump. “DeSantis doesn’t have a pack of dogs hunting him down, and that tells me that somebody’s probably backing him, or he’s in somebody’s pocket at this point. And Trump doesn’t have that.”
unless the pack of dogs are chasing a black man, then it’s just a common criminal getting what he deserves.
The Republican morons believe Trump is being prosecuted because he is a threat to the “Deep State”, not because he actually broke the law.
Never mind that the witnesses testifying against Trump are Republicans
Never mind that everyone heard and saw Trump commit these crimes in plain site for everyone to see
Never mind that judges and prosecutors and officials appointed by Trump himself are part of this so called “Deep State” conspiracy to get Trump.

President Donald J. Trump did NOT directly engage in an armed insurrection "in a hostile encounter" against the United States Constitution for which he gave oath to support.
Yes, he did. He led the attack on the Capital. He led from the rear, but he led the attack.
Saying that Trump didn’t directly engage in what was an obvious hostile encounter is like saying the officers directing soldiers in an attack aren’t directly participating in the attack because they aren’t the ones pulling the trigger.

Most polls have Americans against the endless funding to Ukraine over American concerns.
That’s one poll. You said most polls. How many polls did you look at?
Do you recognize the poll results are divided between Democrats and Republicans?
“Republicans broadly say that Congress should not authorize new funding (71%) and that the US has done enough to assist Ukraine (59%). Among Democrats, most say the opposite, 62% favor additional funding and 61% say that the US should do more”
Most of the people opposed to funds for Ukraine are Republicans. These are the same morons supporting Donald Trump. Why would we care about the opinions of idiots?

Can you name one person that was convicted for insurrection due to Jan 6?
There have been 14. Trump will be the 15th. Insurrection and sedition are essentially the same crime. It’s a distinction without a difference, but you keep declaring that you see different if it makes you feel better after voting for that moron.
“Prosecutors have now secured seditious conspiracy convictions or guilty pleas for 14 Jan. 6 defendants — five associated with the Proud Boys and nine associated with the far-right Oath Keepers — the gravest charges arising from the assault on the Capitol”
“Generally, sedition is conduct or speech that incites individuals to violently rebel against the authority of the government. Insurrection includes the actual acts of violence and rebellion. In a monarchy, sedition might refer to actions instigating the removal of a king or queen. In a constitutional democracy, sedition and insurrection refer to inciting or participating in rebellion against the constitutionally established government, its processes and institutions, or the rule of law. In other words, in the United States’ democracy, violently overthrowing the government or its institutions is overthrowing the Constitution itself. One cannot commit sedition or insurrection to “overthrow a government” while still claiming to uphold and defend the Constitution. The U.S. government, the rule of law, and the Constitution are inextricably linked, and violent attacks on any of the three are not protected actions”

“Yes, Trump and his family have profited much more from their government service than Hunter Biden has. But that isn’t a fully satisfying explanation to many Americans. Perhaps, Chait argues, it’s time for stricter ethics rules for the highest officials and their close relatives:“
Did Hunter Biden insinuate he could:
… leverage his family connections to help his clients, as a former business partner has testified to Congress. - YES
AND
Some clients believed it. Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company, put Hunter on its board, in an attempt to signal that it was pro-Western. A Chinese tycoon also signed a partnership with him. All told, Hunter made more than $800,000 in 2013 and more than $1.2 million in 2014.
But there is zero proof Joe Biden did anything for these clients of his son and zero proof Joe Biden got money from his son.
“Republicans have yet to demonstrate that the senior Mr. Biden was involved in his son’s business deals or took any action to benefit him or his foreign partners”

Rent prices are due to inflation.
inflation occurs when there is an imbalance between supply and demand. Rents would be lower if more housing was available, modest housing for people who earn a modest living. When developers build housing for wealthy people, large houses with high end finishes like granite countertops and expensive appliances, it doesn’t help bring rents down at all.

$1 trillion - Total credit card debt held by American families, a historic first
Wrong. That’s a lie. Total credit card debt has been over a trillion before 2020
card debt soared, reaching its all-time peak of $1.028-trillion in July 2008 (an average of $8,640 per household). Most of that debt was due to unexpected medical bills. Credit-card use took a hit during the recession, falling more than 10% in each of the first three months of 2009.
US Debt was downgraded due to expected "fiscal deterioration over the next three years" by credit rating agency Fitch
Fitch said the reason for the downgrade was Republican obstruction in Congress, including their threats to default on national debt payments.
One reason for Fitch's downgrade was the absence of any political will to deal with the main drivers of the deficit: spending programs for older Americans, including Social Security and Medicare, and repeated cuts to tax rates for most households.1 day ago

Why Fitch's Downgrade of the U.S. Credit Rating Matters - WSJ
Erosion of Governance: In Fitch's view, there has been a steady deterioration in standards of governance over the last 20 years, including on fiscal and debt matters, notwithstanding the June bipartisan agreement to suspend the debt limit until January 2025. The repeated debt-limit political standoffs and last-minute resolutions have eroded confidence in fiscal management.

If — or, more likely, when — they’re confronted with such an expense, they’d probably have to sell something or go into debt. The now oft-cited figure comes from the Federal Reserve’s 2018 Survey of Household Economics and Decision Making, in which some 12,000 households were asked about their financial well-being.
Those figures has been around a long time genius.
