No, this is alt-right fakenews. You're taking a nugget of truth (people leave states at all times, for all sorts of reasons, and certainly there are people who have left CA for any number of random reasons, including "taxes, bureaucracy and roads"), but it's absolutely fakenews to claim that people are specifically abandoning CA due to such things.

This is also obviously alt-right fakenews. Antifa barely exists, BLM has nothing to do with violence (in fact their entire message is anti-violence, making the claim that those who oppose police killings are themselves violent, nothing but shameless Orwellian projection meant to protect killer cops) and CA hasn't had much urban violence of the revolutionary sort since the 1960's. CA cities have basically never been safer.

If you truly believe these to be facts, there is no further discussion to be had, because you're trapped in an alternative reality. And this is why it's a Cult, destined for centuries of analysis, the same way academics today study Honnecker, Stalin and Tito.
