As bad as Massachusetts is, especially Cambridge, at lease some of the super liberal towns are safe. That’s not so in California.
I have friends out in East Bay. They live is a very affluent town where their tiny 2 bed, 1 bath house is 2M+ but they are completely surrounded by Oakland. When they go out to dinner they use Uber, otherwise their car windows would be smashed.
What about the area around where you live? Your town may be safe but can you drive outside of your area at night?
I have FB friends from yesteryear, some who are wedded to the DemoRats no matter what. While cordial and friendly with them I just cringe when they post hateful stuff about Trump or acknowledge that Kam La La is some wonderful and smart Dem nominee. I try not to dislike them but I can’t help but see them as blinded idiots who vote with complicity to ruin the nation. What it is.
How could you!! are usually the first words I hear out of a liberal Democrat’s mouth when they aggressively probe and I say I voted for Trump. They are not very tolerant. Their generally high jerk quotient is why I avoid engaging them.
I have family in Sausalito and worked in Hawaii for years. There is an angstrom thick veneer of warmth and kindness to liberals. Once pierced, they are the most nasty vicious mean bullies you will ever meet.
“...and 99% liberal town...”
Makes me want to wretch.
Absolutely. The small towns between San Francisco and San Jose are all very safe (with very few notable exceptions). Even East Palo Alto is much more safe compared to 40 years ago.
Opposite for me. This is Trump country and people don’t mind letting you know. A Democrat once described the people here as “Those people” like we are a basket of deplorables.
“..My brother, who is building a house here,..”
Dumb as his sister.
If you really want to piss off a liberal, be indifferent. If you support Trump, you are a tooth-flicking corn-fed racist who can be dismissed. If you are indifferent to Trump, they lose their minds. “You can’t be apathetic. He wants to get rid of the Constitution. He wants to kill people of color. He wants to be dictator”
Meh, whatever. BOOM!
LEFTIST town, not, NOT “liberal”. A liberal is open to all sorts of ideas, leftists try to destroy anything they don’t agree with. HUGE difference.
Only a rew liberals left nowadays. It appeared to me that the Democratic Party kicked RFK Jr out for being a liberal.
You missed the point. It is liberal because it is all-white, safe, high quality of life. In short, it’s a commercial for racism.
I lived for 22 years in SF Bay Area, in a town not unlike she describes. When Obama became President I began writing a weekly column for the town paper. My pieces were 180 degrees off the town’s general politics.
Once a week I ate at a very small hot dog/hamburger stand and got to know the young man behind the counter.
One day he said to me: ‘You write that column in the Herald, don’t you?
Uhoh, I thought, here it comes. I pled guilty to his question. He the said I have to tell you what happened a couple of weeks ago. He went on to explain that a customer was reading my column while having lunch. He began cursing at the paper, yelling, calling me all kinds of names. He was literally getting out of control. The young man called the cops, but the guy left before they got there.
His story made me laugh knowing that I was right over the target. Never did find out which piece triggered his outrage.
You write articles for American Thinker occasionally, if I am not mistaken.
I know people in Piedmont who cannot leave their town at night. They are completely surrounded by Oakland.
After writing for the Benicia Herald, for about a year, I began submitting them to AT with some success.
Admittedly, the AT standards are higher than the herald and several were rejected. I think about 3 or 4 out of 5 made it to AT.
Piedmont P.D. use to have an “un-written” policy of keeping un-invited guests out of their city. I assume that’s still the case but you’re on your own in Oaktown!
The worst two years of my life were living in Berkeley many decades ago.
My car got broken into, I got fired from my job and my fiance dumped me.
I fled to Orange County, CA after that—and things got a lot better.
