I’m in MA so can confirm.
I think it’s common knowledge that Conservatives can state Leftist viewpoints on issues with no difficulty. Why is abortion good? Why is the death penalty bad? Why should guns be banned? Why is green energy awesome? I know their positions on these matters just as well as they do, because their positions are hammered at me all day long.
Do they have any idea what my position is? No. It’s a mystery. Trump and all the other Conservatives are just Nazis. Consumed with hate. That’s all there is to say about it.
They might learn a little bit if they were willing to have a conversation. But I suppose that’s exactly why they aren’t willing to have a conversation.
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.
