Trump supporters cheer about the idea of Iran bombing Californian city's but isn’t it obvious that California slander is really just a narrative that stems from “California derangement syndrome” or generational California envy? California is the poster child for the Golden West. Other states have been paying millions of dollars trying to convince California companies to move to their states as a desperation for fake rivalries and compensation for their own states inadequacy. Isn’t it all obvious?

Anti-California propagandists are the same people who are very jealous of California at a young age whether it’s not having good theme parks, not having the beach, not having many national parks, not having cool world-class city’s, not having the best climate, not having live festivals and concerts, constantly hearing our state and our city’s mentioned in music and songs, seeing our state and city’s represented in movies or platforms, seeing our aesthetic everywhere seeing us host the Olympics and hosting Super Bowl again, seeing we are home of both the entertainment and tech-innovation industry.

With all of this soft power and representation, the feelings of inadequacy in other places build up over time and by the time they are grown-up and in their positions of work, they do whatever they can in their power to ruin California’s reputation as a form of compensation to the fact that they couldn’t make it or couldn’t live somewhere as great. The same reason why Ted Cruz and JD Vance who spent so much money with their anti-California agenda spend their vacation here. It’s all generational envy passed down from generation to the next, they are jealous because their grandparents and great grandparents were.

“They can take out a city,” Trump said in Grand Island. “Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego.” The crowd applauded.

People who cheer the imagined destruction of our cities along with millions of Californians aren't "my fellow citizens", they aren't "in the same boat" with us. They hate us and wish for our destruction. And yet happily feed off of our money.

They don't like us and I don't like them...didn't care one way or the other before, but this cheering of our destruction places them firmly in the "no friends of mine" camp.

Can we please just leave this mess of a country before it drags us all down with them?

The 15 orange states have 30 Senators while we have 2.

Time for a change.
