Residents in a rural California city say they have been driven apart by an influx of 'radical city liberal folk' into their neighborhoods.
Inyo County, a community of 19,000 people on the border between the Eastern Sierra and Nevada state line, was historically a Republican stronghold in the Blue-leaning state of California.
But while it hadn't backed a Democrat for president since 1964, a flood of city residents fleeing for the suburbs in the pandemic has radically changed its politics - allowing Joe Biden to win in 2020 by just 14 votes.
Now, with just three weeks until the election, locals told the LA Times that the rise of Democrats in their community has driven them to breaking point.
Even one of the new liberal residents, Fran Hunt, 65, told the outlet: 'We may be more blue - or more purple - but we are more divided.'
Hunt spoke to the outlet opposite a fervent Trump supporter, Lynette McIntosh, who has lived in Inyo County for over five decades, while Hunt moved in 2014.
Their differences made for a striking comparison on how divided Americans are in the final stretch before the presidential election, with Inyo County serving as something of a bellwether for the electorate given its 2020 results.
Explaining why she would not vote for Trump in the former GOP stronghold, Hunt said she believes the former president is 'threatening a dictatorship.'

‘Tard scat is full of undigested avocado toast and various twigs and berries. When fresh, the general area smells terrible with notes of armpit, weed smoke and Patchouli oil.
If it’s fresh, be alert, there is a ‘tard nearby, likely trying to get a selfie with a moose or something.
Why can’t they take a dump on downtown Main Street like the San Fran bums do??
LOL! You cracked me up! “Tard Scat” — how many stomachs in a ‘tard?
What has happened in CA is that due to illegal immigration the state is now less than 50% white, and when Reagan was elected gov it was 75% white. This is the dems national plan. The Dems use the minority voting block but many areas are still very conservative so much so that more votes for Trump were recorded in CA than any state but Texas.
One of them had been there 50 years. California wasn’t so liberal then.
Human waste can spread an awful lot of nasty diseases.
Peeing, not so much, but feces, well, there are some pretty nasty epidemics that happened before there was sewage treatment of some kind.
Think typhoid, cholera; dysentery...
Millions more had been there longer than that. Most of those folk wisely left the state long ago.
