Apparently L.A. is burning because they quit making fire breaks on the hills

breed of mouse. And the water shortage is partly caused by the removal of
dams in north California. (That and they sent their "extra" fire equipment
to Ukraine.)

They've sure managed to screw that up in the following decades.

That said, I believe that there are a lot more conservatives in
California than the election results suggest. These people don't believe
in fair elections, and there is much reason to believe that there is
rampant fraud there enabling the Democrats to stay in power even when
the people want to get rid of them.

The main thing I'm worried about now is that another big batch of
Californians will move to Idaho. Which would be (mostly) okay (except they
drive the price of property way up) if they didn't try to export the same
politics that turned California into a shithole into Idaho.

I think that Californians feel the need to live in areas with lots of
population, so Idaho is not likely to be a destination. Texas maybe, but
not farm central.

We've gotten a LOT of Californians here. The city I live in (just west of
Boise) was, for a couple years, the fastest growing city in the country.
Mostly because of the influx Californians (plus some from Seattle and
Portland). Mostly they want to get out of the Woke shitholes they were
living in. The biggest downside is that they've driven the price of housing
way up. But I can't blame them for wanting to get out of California.

I don't blame Californians for wanting to escape the state's woke
ideology, but I _would_ blame them for wanting to vote in the same kind
of people in Idaho.

 
So far they're not doing that — or at least they're not in the majority.

These people are like hyenas though, so I wouldn't be surprised that
"progressive" "liberal" "social democrats" will move to Idaho
specifically to try to turn the tide over to the Democrats, similarly to
how 12,000 Antifa assholes travelled to wherever there was an AfD
meeting in Germany to stop people from supporting the party.

It's going to be hard for them to overcome the Morman base in Idaho. The
Mormans pretty much vote in a block and they vote Republican.

By the way, I finally got rid of Fedora and migrated over to Pop!_OS. I
like Fedora, but they have way too much trouble with the NVIDIA driver
for it to be viable. I considered Nobara, but I have to admit that I can
at least be assured that I won't have trouble with the proprietary
driver in System76's operating system.

Good luck. I gave Pop!_OS a trial run once. For some reason (I can't
remember exactly why) I didn't like it. But what I want in a computer is not
the same as what you want in one. I've heard good things from some people
about Pop!_OS, but I hate the stupid way they spell the name with an
exclamation point and an underscore. Why not just PopOS?
