They come from California by using cheap immigrant labor, get benefits and grants from the state’s massive eccnomy, and once then reach a certain threshold of income from venture capital, they claim “Commiefornia” has always hated the white man, and Trump is the true savior.

They hail from here but are generally hated by locals in my experience, but then again I’m an Inland Imperial so maybe we just hate everyone. Regardless it’s mostly a side effect of having a massive economy and being one of the hearts of technological advancementsin the US since the late 1800s while not being able to stymy their influency due to federal laws. California is a victim of its own success in many ways, but hopefully it’ll prove more than worth it when the US falls hopefully sooner rather than later.

Our governor is currently sanewashing Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon, agreeing with them on several topics such as trans rights. Bannon literally Sieg Heiled about 2 weeks before Newsom had him on his podcast (Assuming that it was recorded and edited shortly before it was released.)

Our voter base is more conserned with cutting crime by being harsh to criminals, instead of funding anything that prevents future crimes.

For example, the most recent election had some props on the ballot, but successful propaganda from Republicans and the rich helped NIMBYs and the rich win. https://calmatters.org/politics/elections/2024/11/california-propositions-election-results/

• Voted no on cheaper housing because the poor/BIPOC might use it
• Voted no on abolishing slave labor from prisons for putting out fires because “they did the crime, they do the time”
• Voted no on raising the minimum wage and tying it to a national index of the value of the USD to buying goods, because “the minimum wage going up will increase the cost of goods!!”
• Voted yes on increasing the punishments for petty theft and drug charges, because we hate the people stealing bread and diapers to survive the hellscape we’ve voted to keep.

We also deported homeless people, clearing camps and forcing them into buses. https://apnews.com/article/california-newsom-homeless-los-angeles-san-francisco-5b2b3aca9ca56efb444a717d278c1fd9

We also arrest homeless people, using them as the cheap slave labor we send to fight fires. We voted to strip gay people of their right to marry when we voted Obama into office.

We care more about the “status quo” and the “sanctity of normal” over doing anything helpful for the people living here. The fact that my governor that I personally voted for is now buddying up with Steve fucking Bannon, the man who helped get Trump into office twice makes me sick to my stomach that I ever supported him.

Are we fascist as Trump? Not yet. But we’ve always hated anyone who isnt a white middle class. We’re the state Nixon and Reagan came from. We’re the state that argued for the right to prohibit Mexicans in the United States/California should no right to access anything public. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994_California_Proposition_187 We’re the state that argued that your cell phone shouldn’t be covered under the 4th Amendment and the cops don’t need a warrant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riley_v._California

California isn’t explicitly fascist, but we have the biggest Republican voting bloc in the union, more than Texas. We have a deep passionate hatred for anyone other than the assumed default. I genuinely fear that the next governor will be willing to aid the Trump government as an appeasement/compromise, which will be handing over anyone Trump wants.

We jail people for being homeless. My fine city of Fresno will even fine you $1000. So maybe not concentration camp levels of fascism, but yeah…
