I lived among them in Sacramento for 10 years until I retired from teaching there.  What a nightmare that was.  While there, I, through a small business I had, met a lot of the smaller county locals (almost to a person conservatives) and they were being inundated by SF and bay area leftists buying up property in their counties and immediately proceeding to tell them how crappy their lifestyles are and going to town meetings bitching about everything under the sun.  My wife and I got out of there and on to TN asap.

Ohh, believe me, I understand. Native Sacramenten for over 6 decades, watched Ca go from a beautiful, clean Conservative state, to a Marxist breeding ground for a Texas takeover.
Thank God Trump came along when he did.

Same for you as my wife.  She grew up in the Sac area and says how terrific the state was in all respects...but the dems got control of the legislature and the rest is history.  All you have to do is look at the state of education there and when it got started going down the crapper.  Having been a teacher, I will always see education as the first line of defense from the communists.  Right now, it's a sorry state of affairs, however.  Even seeing it start to fester in TN.

It goes deeper than the Legislature. It took the leftist RNC to help the DNC capture voter registration lines, and helped them usher in Gerrymandering.
Yes, the GOP played a blind eye, but people (RNC GOP) were paid off back in the late 60s and 70s to allow the left to create new districts out of whole cloth. Think Maxine Waters.
To this day I do not trust the GOP, though I support those trying to fix it, I despise what the Marxists did to the GOP when they invaded it.

I remember when Mayor Ann Rudin said she was ashamed of Sac, the cowtown and wanted to make it more like the Bay AREA.
It was that leftist that allowed the Sac skyline to become crap. Before he reign, there was an ordinance in place that stated no building could be taller than the Capitol, with the Exception of the Elks Lodge.
We never recovered.

In some respects, I'm more disturbed with Repubs than I am the dems.  I look at McCain and Graham (among a lot of others) and just want to POUND them into submission.  These kinds of Repubs, IMO, hurt us more than the dems ever could, simply because they are not doing their jobs as we conservatives expect.  Just look at the fiasco we have before us with control of all three branches of government.

Makes ya want to scream.

Yep, and all as planned. "15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States."
And they did, starting with Nixon under the direction of Roger Ailes, yes, Ailes was the corporate crony connection/open wound for Marxists to get a grip on the party.

About halfway between Knoxville and the Tri-Cities.  We live in the country.

We are neighbors as I am in WNC. At least you are not in Memphis.

Law enforcement in CA needs something to do since they do not pursue illegal immigrant criminals. 

That's right ... have to keep the straw and order.
