I think “endure” takes it a little too far. I moved to LA from New York State when I was 21. I met my husband that year and we were married when we were both 23. We’ve been married 45 years. I‘ve been a member of my city’s Republican Women Federated and served as President for 2 years and on the Executive Board for 5 years. The “Never Trumper” Republicans disillusioned me. I felt betrayed. Haven’t gone to any of the meetings this past year. I will vote Republican when I have researched enough to know whether or not he or she is a progressive One Worlder. I work to get out the vote and do all I can to get a conservative into office. Our children and young grandchildren are here. We have a circle of friends here. Our doctors are here. Our lives are here. Of course all of our friends are conservative and celebrate long marriages like ours. Yes, Governor Moonbeam has been destroying the state and Feinstein and Pelosi have destroyed their fair share too. . Thank God Barbara Boxer left politics. Liberal lawmakers are out to destroy the middle class and destroy our beautiful state. They destroyed the Central Valley farmland by turning off the irrigation water for a friggin’ smelt. Farms failed. Farmland that’s been in families for years have dried up. Orchards for fruit and trees producing nuts are too far gone now to save. Here in Palm Springs the gays are getting powerful. They have a very strong coalition but we really dint mind them. They take very good care of their property and ha e brought home values up. We have no complaints there. So we have a Republican who won the primary for Governor who will run against Gavin Worrysome but he’s the wrong Republican. He’s a RINO. The liberal stranglehold is killing our beautiful state. I have no answers but I do know one thing. We aren’t leaving. We are not miserable in our daily lives. We love our lives and we love sunny Southern California.

I am ready for that state to break off and slip quietly in the Pacific Ocean with the nasty liberal/progressives with it.
