California IS a grim place, especially post-COVID and especially in the big cities. We left July 2020 after 25 years to an Austin suburb. It was important for us to have our children physically in school (in person). Most people in California are unaware of their own situation - they are in denial about the dystopia that they've come to accept as normal. Its normal to feel unsafe in a park in LA. Its normal to have homeless follow you around in a grocery store and harass you. Its normal to see people doing drugs in the street. Congrats on your move - and no - its not a privilege to move (as many people will say to you) - its a decision.
As a native Tennessean, for the love of everything holy, please do your best to assimilate. It's not enough to simply vote conservative. Embrace being a Tennessean:
Do not honk. Say y'all. Wave. Be friendly. Slow down. Pull for our teams. Don't curse loudly in public.
As much as we don't want liberal politics, we don't want California culture either.
So very well-written, thank you. Your interview on Glenn Greenwald on Rumble was inspirational, delightful, informative and courageous. Thank you again

Why do you feel more inclined to give money to homeless women than men?
If you’re still registered in CA, you CAN vote for Michael via mail in ballot…..and you should for the sake of those you left behind.
You had the resources to leave a politically gridlocked state that is failing its citizens.
Go back. Nobody wants you.

My wife daughter and I have a similar story leaving Toronto for Naples FL. It’s been so refreshing and good for the soul! Especially for our daughter.
Congratulations! Enjoy life, its short. The glass is always half full on the other side of the fence or something.
Twist them words.

Let’s hope your chipmunks in LA are still being taken care of by someone else.
