    Because people vote, not land. But yes, California is full of deplorable, hateful, subhuman Republicans once you get outside the major metro areas.

      Thank goodness they don’t have any deplorables in Los Angeles or San Francisco.

      Calling your political opponents subhuman comes from the fascist playbook. I wouldn’t go there.

        Anyone that behaves like a creature from a Germanic folk tale will be categorized as one. Humanity is a label that must be demonstrated and earned.

        Do you know what else comes from the fascist playbook? Every leftist term imaginable, because the movement is fundamentally weaponized bad faith. As with the paradox of tolerance, do not grant that benefit to those who would not grant it to others. Neoliberal language policing helps nobody.
