Ya, this is an awkward story, to think that at one time, San Francisco would have unabashedly celebrated American independence and America.

That one time continued into my lifetime. San Francisco was Republican, with a long unbroken string of Republican mayors up into the early 1960s. Then liberal ah*les flooded in from the east coast, along with hippies from the midwest and ruined everything. I remember when USA flags were everywhere and the military was respected in SF, early 1960s. Both displaced by liberals who came later.

"..Then liberal ah*les flooded in from the east coast.."

They don't call it the land of fruits-n-nuts for nothing, eh? And last I saw, the Southeastern states were fairly well represented with mostly conservative values.

Mebbe you were referring to the New England part of the East Coast.
