Why is there a 10+ page thread devoted to a few broken windows and fires at Berkeley yet no mention of what happened a week ago, when A TRUMP SUPPORTER MURDERED PEOPLE just for being Muslim?
Because it's more fun to make fun of us Californians.
In spite of our extreme value add and extreme contributions to the national Treasury, we have become everyone's favorite whipping children. Granted having our excess share of mouthy gadflies some of whom are either idiots or are in The Bubble, does create a target rich environment, meanwhile the concentration of media and "sexy" tech firms may incite envy leading to wrath.
The smart and innovative people have been moving to blue states and cities for some decades now. Living in the backwater red states does not stimulate them, and does not conform to their mindsets. They are bored by fundamentalist religion and gun fanaticism. The smart people understand that business and other powerful folks can't just be left to their own devices; greed and other vices exist in the minds and guts of these people. So government of and by the people is necessary to make the proper investments in the community. And so although taxes may be higher in blue states, which the TEA Party don't like, the smart young people who have moved to blue states understand that contributions to the community required of all the folks DO pay off for themselves and the marketplace. Blue people are not deceived by Ayn Rand, Ludwig Mises or Ronald Reagan. Smart people know that trickle-down doesn't trickle.
You are all for pushing the smart blue people to disaster. However, what you are doing, and have done, is push yourselves living in the red states and counties into disaster. And then you try to find solace and solution for your pain by voting for a demagogue who wants to destroy everything. It won't work fer ya.
