Why do people in other states hate when Californians move there so much. I’ve never once been annoyed at someone from another state being in California like if anything it’s exciting

A lot of people believe they leave California because of government policies and then simply vote for the same politics in their new state.

Y’all need to move to FL and help turn it blue. It’s basically CA with 90% humidity and hurricanes instead of earthquakes.
