LA Times editor implores ex-Californians to stop insulting the state on their way out

More than 800,000 people left California in 2022

Los Angeles Times’ letters editor Paul Thornton implored Californians leaving the state to stop criticizing it on the way out.

"To the people leaving California: May the road rise to meet you as you seek better lives in new places. Now, can you please extend some goodwill to those of us who remain?" Thornton asked in a Saturday piece headlined, "Commentary: If you want to leave, fine. But don’t insult California on the way out."

He went on to describe how staggering numbers of Californians are fleeing to other states.

Thornton went on to describe a relative of his who told him about having relocated to a small town in another state far away, but being warned against bringing "those weird California ways" to his new neighborhood.

"And which ways would those be?" Thornton asked rhetorically. "Perhaps it’s our embrace of LGBTQ+ Californians. Or it’s our liberal politics, with the state Republican Party shrunk to irrelevance after its vicious attempt in 1994 to marginalize immigrants with Proposition 187."

Proposition 187, which passed by almost 60% but blocked by the courts from ever going into effect, proposed denying state social services to illegal immigrants. Since then, California has expanded access to government benefits and services to illegal immigrants.

The Golden State started the new year by granting illegal immigrants free healthcare, despite the state's looming $68 billion deficit. This new healthcare policy will cover sex change surgeries for California residents without regard for their citizenship status.

Or it’s our liberal politics....

:

These people destroy their own cities and state with absurd progbot politics, then when those policies bite them in the ass they run away to destroy another city/state with the same bullshit they left.



Democrats are all retarded. And they're always all, "Oh, you hate gay people! You hate brown people!" No, bitch, we hate YOU and we hate your ignorant cultbot bullshit. They just can't get it in their head that THEY are the problem.

You hate brown people!"

Yeah if you don't want to spend billions on illegal immigrant than you are racist

Native Americans found that bits of fish planted with corn seeds, acting as a fertilizer, produced a much better crop.

Perhaps planting Liberal Democrats with Walnuts or Pecans will help create much better trees, thereby greening the planet.

Nobody up and leaves ANYPLACE without a reason - even if that reason is, time to retire, move near my family, house market just too good to pass up - people always have a reason.

But for that many people to leave a state as large as California for good, you generally do it because you don't want to continue to live there.
And it's obvious that it's either that it sucks a little or it sucks a LOT.

But this is typical liberal boilerplate stuff - see, if people were leaving in large numbers from a place I was in charge of - I'd want to know WHY - and maybe try to correct it. Liberals - they want to blame the PEOPLE LEAVING. Yup. Like all the people saying the economy sucks. Oh - no it doesn't - you're just - just - too STUPID to know it's actually been GREAT for you.

My plan was to leave for 6 months and then go back. 30+ years later, I'm still here. It's been nearly 10 years since I was last there. I'd never move back there now. One of my lib cousins is thinking about leaving due to the high rent hikes.

What he is saying is that if you don't like liberal politics or you feel that LGBTQ+ and trangenders are morally wrong o if you don't like having your taxes spent to support illegals we are happy to see you go , but STFU about it.

Will they poison the soil for cashews or pistachios? If not I'm going to Potters Field!

Stupid ASSSES have Garson on the ballet again. They deserve a 10 earthquake if reelected.

The hilarious thing is that they will proudly proclaim that they still gained population....... Of course, the people leaving are your high earners, your productive types. The gains are people who will be a drain on your economy.
