Ronald Reagan, we miss you. What’s happened to your state?
Here are 10 tweets that explain what’s going on in California today and why conservatives never, ever want to be governed by a Californian.
1. For starters, we don’t trust people that try to avoid a traffic jam and end up stuck in a sand dune:
A slew of cars trying to bypass the horrible traffic on the 10 Freeway in Rialto ended up getting stuck in the sand https://t.co/vGbR6Qi61c pic.twitter.com/JFByshiGoZ

2. STRAWS SHOULD NOT BE ILLEGAL!
The City of #Malibu just took California a step closer to the sipping point! Which city in L.A. do you think is next to #stopsucking? https://t.co/AefUsE50pD pic.twitter.com/pE7UjgPBUn

3. Abortion policies North Korea would be proud of:
"Although I refused to consent to an abortion, she scheduled me for an abortion.
When I refused to go, she had two men come to my housing pod, trying to forcibly take me" https://t.co/Hobk2I0xHz

6. Politicians like Gavin Newsom who say things like, “California is both America’s richest state, and its poorest”:
California is both America’s richest state, and its poorest. We need growth and inclusion — an economy that shares the energy and diversity of this state and works for every Californian. pic.twitter.com/9mTfCYa9KP

7. Those same politicians who embrace high-speed rail instead of water desalination projects for the ever-parched state:
840 miles of coastline and there's not enough water. Only with 'progressive' government.
Instead of the $65 BILLION bullet train to nowhere, build $150 MILLION desalination plants. https://t.co/yEz8pS8GWw

8. TFW you realize Mexico City has a better earthquake warning system than any city in California:
Why don’t we have this in California @JerryBrownGov? Advance warning system worked beautifully in #MexicoCity. Thousands rushed outside approx 60 seconds BEFORE 7.2 #earthquake. (photos by @byandreachang @PeterAronson) pic.twitter.com/xcVeJPC6qF
