Washington state was a conservative state until all the Californians came in the 80's and 90's. I remember a movement wanting to build a wall to keep them out.Here in Volente, it's a community mostly of normal, freedom loving Americans. But... there is a small group of liberal activists that constantly get into power by any devious scheme they can come up with including getting new people to believe they are conservatives. It seems to be getting worse with all the people coming here from California. I wish they would stay. They don't need to bring all their failed liberal policies with them.
