Not a fan of dark humor, I see.
Eh I guess not on this subject...But then I have a lot of family there—conservative-to-the-core family.
I am some somewhat sensitized to this issue as there are way too many here who are not saying things in jest...they really would like California to be vaporized. Seriously, I have debated them.
So sometimes it is hard for me to to tell where the humor (dark or otherwise) starts and ends...
As was pointed out there are 5-6 million republicans/conservatives in California...more than some of the less populated states.
I just think people can be very insensitive when stereotyping Californians, New Yorkers, etc. Many good people live in those areas...I live in Chicagoland, and I can assure you my neighborhood did not support Clinton.
