I live in California where the Democrat policies have been in full force for 60 years, with massive government funded programs that give our tax dollars to pedophiles, ex cons, drug addicts and alocoholics under the guise of disability, free educations and priority to illegal immigrants, government unions demanding unsustainable benefits and wages, higher taxes a constant theme on our ballots, environmental regulations that require 8 different grades of gasoline throughout the state (which raises prices), hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland that cannot be farmed due to the Dems putting water for smelt over farmers, car registration fees so high that many lower and mid income people (especially the unemployed) are losing their vehicles, a community college system that is so top heavy it now takes 4 years for kids to finish a 2 year program for transfer to a university, and much much more.
