    Rural California feels like Gavin Newsom does not care about them. They say he only comes out after forest fires for photo ops and are upset over the outcome of the recall.

    They heavily supported the recall hoping for change only to have a crushing defeat. They lay part of the blame of losing on the GOP party in California who would not endorse any candidates.They also point out that the state has become very liberal and that the chances of winning any elections there are gone.

    The West Coast and southern California has become very liberal. The east rural and middle agricultural areas still lean Republican but have fewer people living there.

    Some of these people are hoping Gavin Newsom learned a lesson with the recall and others are considering moving to another state. Most of all these people feel like they are looked down on. They are referred to as hicks, red necks and even uneducated people by the liberals in the state.

    This is a very interesting read. It points out that Republicans feel like they are treated as a second class in California and that they feel left out.

    Democrats only care about themselves so I'm not surprised these people feel this way. The state has become a horrible place to live. Cost of living is high, homeless is increasing, vaccine cards are needed to go to most places, drought and forest fires and the teachers brainwash the kids.

    I don't blame these Republicans for wanting to leave.
