California Governor Gavin Newsom (CA) was met with instant backlash after stating “California is the true freedom state.” Many were quick to point out Newsom’s policies restricting Second Amendment freedoms and harsh lockdowns – even forcing churches to close their doors – which have led to a mass exodus out of the Golden State.
Meanwhile, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) fought back against lockdowns and the “woke” culture mob. This has resulted in Florida becoming the fastest growing state in the union, seeing a surge in new residents coming from blue states like California.
