    The inconvenient truth is that California is America's first third world state.

    But the Democratic liberals, progressives and socialist in California are in denial.

    Using the Cold War definition of "third world," today's California's state legisature, Governor, Attorney General and the liberal elitist would be aligned with the USSR, Communist China, Cuba, North Korea, North Vietnam 50 years ago.

    Today the California Governor, Attorney General, 3/4 of the state legislatures are in a state of rebellion against the Federal Government and the American Constitution.

    The Democrats in California will not admit that their progressive experiment has failed.
    The Golden State is no more, California is America's first third world state and as history has shown us, "As California goes...the rest of America will follow."

    Victor David Hansen covers most of the bases below.

    Is there anyone here who is in denial that California is a third world state ?

    Another chief characteristic of a Third World society is the official denial of all of the above,

    Such a beautiful statement. California can either admit to be a third world society or deny it which makes it a third world society. Solid, unfalsifisble claim!

    I noticed that right away.

    The Democratic liberals, progressives and reconquista socialist in California are in complete denial with reality.

    Surrendering to the socialist is not an option for me.

    But when I die I Will be replaced by five Mexicans or Central Americans and I doubt they will be able to make up for the lost revenues I paid into California's state tax coffers.

    Sadly, there are a lot of really good people left in CA. The problem lies in the large cities along the coast from CA to OR. Perhaps next week when the ocean levels rise 15 feet due to globull warming, the cleansing will begin.

    Prettiest place I ever lived. Perfect temperature, ice cream at the beach, and anything you wanted within 20 miles.

    Yeah, what greater "failure" than being the fifth economy in the world (larger than the UK economy... just behind Germany's)?

    In 1939 Germany had the number one economy in Europe.

    The endless right wing prattle about the failure of California is laughable. The "conservative" (read crackpot) element of the GOP has been wrong about California ever since their goobers fled the dust bowl.

    Moving is always an option. You’re choosing to stay in a state you clearly hate. That’s odd.

    Third world ... if you ignore the fact it produces over 13% of the nation's GDP, is the hub of the tech industry which has driven our economy for the last 30 years, has some of the busiest shipping ports in the world, is one of the largest agricultural centers in the world ... I guess if you ignore reality, it's third world.

    As somebody whose roots in CA go back prior to the gold rush, I can tell you that it isn't easy to just leave. This progressive nonsense that has taken over CA is fairly recent, so it's more of a dig in and fight or wait mentality.

    The progressives aren't actually winning. From a political perspective, they are, but it's taking a very heavy toll on the cities. That's what happens when you work from a flawed premise.

    Nonsense. People move from places with deep roots all the time.

    sigh... why is it that lefties never understand the simple (to me anyway) concept of an average? I mean, they do if it's in their favor, like with the wage gap. Then they become super brainiacs capable of pointing out averages and bell curves with an almost Einsteinian level of genius.

    Then when it doesn't suit them, they show some picture of a private beach that just looks like the perfect place where everybody would want to live, and then act like the whole damn state looks like Monterey bay!

    You understand that it's well understood that people move from places with deep roots all the time. Yet, now you pretend that this doesn't come with certain regrets. It's just a "well my cousin's best friend's wife did that, so I don't see why everybody can't!".

    Hopefully you realize by now that I think the left are mostly enormous hypocrites, and that you have given me one more reason to believe that.

    A great many of the homeless work full time jobs but make such lousy pay that they cannot afford the high California rents.
