Why do so many conservatives in the US bash on California all the time?
-
A majority of them have never even been to California yet they seem to talk about it/bash it non-stop.

They hate us because they ain't us.

Because caring for the environment and creating social programs is scary to them.

From what I can tell from up in Canada, it's a more 'liberal' leaning state according to their metric and they don't like that.

Lookng at Cali might give them cognitive dissonance so they get upset like the mean dumb goblins they are.

Since California is percieved by the right to be a "liberal stronghold", it is easy for them to bond over a shared hatred of it. Regardless of whether or not that hate is based in fact.

The people who tell conservatives what to think have indicated that California is bad. Why is it bad? They made some progress on a few things, and we can’t have that. It’s why we can’t have nice things like affordable healthcare and breathable air.

It's the fifth largest global economy...
It's hard proof that most of their policy is complete bullshit, because if they were right, liberal social policy and taxes would have chased all the wealthy away.
But it doesn't, because people want to live in places with that kind of policy

wrote last edited by [email protected]What’s crazy is that, by pure numbers, CA is basically tied with FL as having the second most republicans in the country—at around 6 million.* Only TX has them both beat. Conservatives really do shit on the 2nd/3rd largest enclave of republicans in the country
*Based on the 2024 US election turnout—not registered republicans

It’s a stereotype. Why do many people instantly think of Texas when talking about conservative states?

"They hate us 'cause they anus."

Since nobody here is giving any actual reasons and just putting up straw men, let me give you the real reasons.
Crowded and high cost of living.
And because politics, those two points extend into lots of homeless (crowded) and "liberal initiatives" (cost of living). But it's always rooted into crowded and high cost of living.
But what about large cities in the red states? Yes, the same is said of those. Crowded and high cost of living.

Because California stands for many, many, many, many of the things they oppose without evidence to back up their claims: Supporting LGBTQ+, better Social programs, limited religious freedoms, run by a bunch of "liberals", etc. etc.
And yet, it's the 5th largest economy in the world, and the vast, overwhelming, majority of funds for the USA.
They hate that California works, because it disproves pretty much all of their talking points.

The entire answer is "propaganda"

What conservatives alsp forget is their own system of capitalism they worship is what drives its high cost of living. People want to live there. If there wasn't a demand to live there, cost of living would lower.
More homeless are seen in the west coast states also because the climate is more hospitable, and the governments and people a little more so, too. Also because right-wing media magnify the problem.

I think of a fertilizer factory built across the street from schools that blows up. Or people freezing to death when their power goes out. Or getting a bill for $5,000 because they didn't freeze to death.

Why is it crowded there? It's expensive because it's crowded, so why is it so crowded? Do people actually want to live there or something?
