Sometimes the truth hurts. This is an important life lesson. But many people on the left have yet to learn this. That is why they are so obsessed with criminalizing “hate speech” and controlling whose feelings can or cannot be hurt.

The reason the truth can hurt so bad for some people is because they would rather live in Lala land and disregard reality. That is basically what this editor did from The Los Angeles Times.

According to Fox News:

“Los Angeles Times letters editor Paul Thornton implored Californians leaving the state to stop criticizing it on the way out.

‘To the people leaving California: May the road rise to meet you as you seek better lives in new places. Now, can you please extend some goodwill to those of us who remain?’ Thornton asked in a Saturday piece headlined, ‘Commentary: If you want to leave, fine. But don’t insult California on the way out.’

He went on to describe how staggering numbers of Californians are fleeing to other states.

‘More than 800,000 Californians moved away in 2022, and many thousands more left last year. Often, the departees, cash in hand from the sale of their $1-million bungalows, feel the need to express disdain for their home state, and even some anger too,’ he wrote.”

If anyone has any doubt, I guarantee that the reason people are fleeing the state has nothing to do with what Californian refugees have or have not said. The damage has already been done and has been in the works for quite some time. And is this editor implying that people cannot cash out on their property? That does not even make any sense.

“Thornton went on to describe a relative of his who told him about having relocated to a small town in another state far away, but being warned against bringing ‘those weird California ways’ to his new neighborhood.

‘And which ways would those be?’ Thornton asked rhetorically. ‘Perhaps it’s our embrace of LGBTQ+ Californians. Or it’s our liberal politics, with the state Republican Party shrunk to irrelevance after its vicious attempt in 1994 to marginalize immigrants with Proposition 187.’”

When people say things like "Don't vote the same way you did from the place you fled" that means exactly that. Don't turn Dallas into San Fransico. Don't turn Scottsdale into Los Angeles. If you don't make crime de facto legal, there won't be much problem.

You would think those things are obvious. But to liberals, it is not because they tend to suffer from Stockholm Syndrome. It is nearly impossible to make the connection that how they vote has a massive effect on policies and the way things end up. They will think that radical rent control and asinine policies like "squatter rights" do not affect rent prices. Rather, it is the greedy landlord's fault. They are conceived that all property owners are swimming in gold and because they believe they do nothing all day but cash in on "passive income" they have no right to their property at all.

That is how dumb these people are. And that is why we have the phrase "Don't California my Texas." As I said, the truth hurts and liberals hate that.
