It’s a shame about Piedmont. Moraga, Orinda and Lafayette are still nice and safe. Once you get east through the Caldecott Tunnel, things are a lot better.
My wife’s family was in Oakland in the 30s, 40s and 50s before they moved to Castro Valley. It was a real nice city back then, but, like all Big Dem cities, it got destroyed.
I went through Oakland and Berkeley (just north of Oakland city line) on business a month ago. I didn’t enjoy being there in broad daylight. What a mess.
I used to frequent Oakland restaurants because you could get the best ethnic food of any kind, bar none, (across the Bay Area) but it’s too damned dangerous now (at least to my way of thinking)!
In places like this they already own the culture and big entertainment, academia and various other institutions as well. Our side is reduced to guerrilla warfare but that can indeed be fun at times. Winning or losing I’d rather be on our side. We have way more fun. Not having their mental illness is a big plus.
This is so true. I would say the two characteristics of these people is an infantilism that insists that their parents' faith in the Rat party is valid and so it will be theirs as well.
Next is an overwhelming ignorance of history and human nature. This keeps them loyal communists in spite of the odious nature and history of communism.
Lastly is a mental weakness and spinelessness that makes them repeat what they hear from fools on CNN and MSNBC as if they understood and believed it. They really are incapable of refuting the simplest and most obvious of fallacious arguments. This ties in to their conspicuous lack of humor: They can't process absurdities because they can't analyze or refute ANYTHING. Their brains are gristle. No neurons.
Truth is they are incapable of judging as good or bad what the communists on CNN or MSNBC say. They approve it also because they see other worms around them doing so.
I think her town is Stepford.
Then she said, “Things are getting so scary. November is coming.”
“I know!”, I replied. “Can you imagine what a hellhole this place will be if Ka-mao-la gets elected?”
She turned her large puppy eyes to me. Then, it was as if Bilbo had asked to hold The Ring! Reaching into her Pilates bag, she pulled out a Pussy Hat and jammed it on her head. Her face twisted further, turning her into James Carville in drag.
I shrugged my shoulders and turned away. If worse came to worse, my Glock 27 with its 40 S&W rounds would keep me safe. That is why my dog doesn’t worry when I say it is OK. He knows that means I’ve got my Glock with me...
I watched that about an hour ago. It’s so great!
You nailed the issue. Most leftists are emotionally fragile. Anything can set them off in a rage.
I raised the abortion issue with one and boy did I hit a nerve. The anger spewed by this person. The raising of the voice. "What about rape and incest? What if the child is deformed?"
“What if the child is deformed?”
Scratch a leftist and you get a eugenics fanatic...
every time.
Piedmont. Used to be solidly Republican, now infested by Democrats. Used to be inhabited by people who made money and has now been overrun by people who have made money off of people who make money. Big Democrat fundraisers now live there, I understand.
Very nice!
I work part time at Home Depot I have a black gentleman co worker, life long Dem retired working part time as MANY of us have to do now!! WELL I went there talking with him one day about how damned expensive everything has become said WE NEED Trump back, OMG if you should have seen the utter SHOCK on his face!! I told him I know how you feel about Trump HOWEVER we live in America and we are ALL entitled to our own points of view!! We have been chatting more recently and he told me that I have completely changed his mind about WHO Trump supporters are, that I was NOT racist, I was NOT a bigot, I was NOT hateful, I was the complete opposite of he believed a Trump supporter was!! I told him to turn off his damn TV he was being utterly brainwashed!! I told him the next time Trump has a rally I will inform him where to go to watch it, it will be 2 hours of his time AND it will enlighten him immensely!!
Used to live in one of those places, then the local loons let themselves be taken over by the activists that wouldn’t tolerate any hypocrisy in their own backyards. All local government activity is now directed to importing as many of the derelict class as possible, and using uncontrolled spending to accomplish that. Curious that both property taxes and drug-overdoses/murders are both skyrocketing. The OG of the liberal town are structurally unable to overcome their inbred class guilt and vote these locusts out.
So glad we managed to escape that stain before the collapse comes.
“It is interesting that lefties assume everyone around them agrees with them.”
That is a good assumption.
It's reminiscent of the efforts to create "New Soviet Man" that was determined to forge a communist that denied all basic, inherent human traits. It doesn't matter to them how many times those systems failed in history because "they are going to put the 'right' people in charge and do it right."
I've noticed that again and again. I've had people come up to me and start gleefully bashing Trump. When Trump was found guilty in one of the recent court cases, one of my coworkers announced it happily in the lunchroom, whereupon all my coworkers except one erupted in cheers. If the verdict had gone the other way, I never would have gloated to them. It honestly does not seem to occur to them that anyone would think differently or disagree with them.
Kamala Harris and her party prove that if everybody was equal there wouldn’t be any gold medals at the Olympics or a Olympics for that matter.
No.
They're Communist nutters.
I had some long-time friends like that before the 2008 election.
Not after, though.
