I agree, it is a beautiful state son, but you have to set pride aside, it is shit now. Think about it, you are seriously going to spend the many years of your life agonizing yourself in that shit state, or move to another beautiful state? I also lived in Cali, and after moving to other states it was the best decision I ever made. Other states are beautiful too, like Texas and Tennessee, yet cheaper cost of living and not ruined by Dems.
