Also, forget National politics for a moment, state and local are equally if not more important. California is a perfect example. The landscape of our states are changing. Have changed. The middle is paying for that, too.

Oh, I pay attention in my State, it is very "blue" and unemployment is high, it is one of the most expensive states to live in (many big businesses have moved out), education rating is low, gas is very high compared to other states, taxes are very high over all compared to other states as well and many in the "middle class" have been moving out of the state and many have "lost their homes" as well.
It has been "scarey" the past four years tbh.
I wish my parents were not "needing" to stay here and may not be around in a year or two, and my daughter is here or I would consider moving elsewhere.
