A majority of them have never even been to California yet they seem to talk about it/bash it non-stop.

    my dad will not stop talking about the homeless hordes of seattle or whatever.

    Californian here. I would rather live with the homeless than live in a conservative shithole state. Yeah, there’s homeless. But I’m also living in world-renowned California.

      There’s some pretty great stuff here in Texas (and Florida). But they aren’t shitholes. It’s mostly not that bad, and not that conservative.

      …There are homeless hordes here, too.

      Regions have their shit politics and weaknesses, but what’s on tabloids is a caricature of what its like on the ground.
