The whole porn ban thing is probably my all-time favorite example of conservatives voting against themselves.

Meanwhile, in California, I can watch all the porn I want without registering myself in a database and walk down the street to the weed store. And the women in my life still have rights over their own bodies.

So I guess Democrats are actually the party of freedom.

B- b- but, California b-b-bad! 🥺 Don't you see how oppressed you are? You're really oppressed out there. 🥺

It’s all relative. Lots of personal freedom, taxed like a mother fucker.

As it should be honestly but there are many people that don’t see it that way and view taxation as a form of oppression.

I don't think the above commenter is saying GOP isn't worse, but having lived there for a few years and since moved away, it's taxed quite a bit more than other states. You definitely get a lot more out of it, so it's just that tradeoff. Either you pay little taxes and have to pay separately for private things to do everything yourself (good for rich people, bad for everyone else), or you pay more taxes but have way more public services.
