I think people who say this are not all communists or socialists. A lack of patriotism is a completely separate issue to whether someone believes in socialism.
Take people who think Hawaii is an occupied nation. They don't care to defend the USA but they aren't just socialists.
I was unaware Native Hawaiians were migrating from California.

NOBODY SAID EVERYONE leaving California is a Socialist. But, there are many more Democrats in California than not.
Democrats are, by definition, more Socialist/Progressive/Left-leaning than not. In fact, the Party is so Left-leaning, Socialists and Democrats are almost indistinguishable ideologically.
Democrats decry the Right-wing extremists' so-called "attack on democracy," yet they are the ones who oppose individual liberty and freedom more so than Republicans, Libertarians, etc.
Characterizing SOME of those moving from California due to decades of mismanagement and the recent increase in tax burden on individuals, families and businesses as "Socialists" is not wrong. Nobody said ALL of them are.
