And the bigger the lie, the better.
And *no*, I'm not talking about Cheeto and the lie about the 2020 election told by him and his enablers.
I could be, though.
One of them, Doug Ducey (as well as most other Arizona Rs) likes to repeat the R talking point that folks are leaving California in droves for states like Arizona.
One problem with that.
It ain't so.
From a UC San Diego survey -
Some people have a great attachment to California, while others don’t like it at all. Taking everything into account, how would you describe California as a place to live?
One of the best places to live 42.4%
Nice but not an outstanding place 35.5%
About an average place to live 14.3%
Rather poor place to live 7.8%

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: “The California Dream still works for people like me and my family”?
Completely/Somewhat Agree 64.1%
Completely/Somewhat Disagree 35.9%
[snip]
Thinking ahead to one year from now, how likely do you think it is that you will be moved out of California and living in another state?
Very likely to move out of California 13.6%
Somewhat likely 25.1%
Not likely 33.8%
Definitely will not move out of California 27.5%
From a UCLA study on immigration to and from California -
What?!? Is anyone really surprised that old people like to move here or that less educated Californians like it here?
Balance time -
Read the entire studies.
Also, read UC press release regarding the studies.

Be the UC San Diego survey as it may I'll stick to using U-Haul data as the best yardstick. Arizona shows as 4th most popular place to go to. California shows as 50th in the list (e.g. least popular place to move to).
