In particular, I had a group of metrosexual white supremacists that took care of their looks so they could mainstream their views and their street beatings, and now we live in this era of Richard Spencer and the Proud Boys. If only there was a group of aggressive non-binaries roaming around the Midwest in technicals with automatic weapons and plate carriers chuckling in pigeon Farsi because it triggers the chuds.

CubanMissile posted:So many Cubans are hardcore R because they think helping anyone in any way will make the ghost of Fidel Castro rise and take all their stuff. Also the caucasian ones just consider themselves white people with a little extra flavor and don't identify with Hispanic causes all. I can apply this to a lot of Venezuelans too. All the Venezuelans who moved into the Miami Dade area during the Chavez years seemingly met up with the old Cubans there to trade political missives (doesn’t help that Chavez and Fidel were bffs, of course) and snarl at anything with even the faintest or most spurious accusation of “socialism.” My aunt and uncle moved to the US around 2000 and just plummeted down the ChudHole, never to see the light of day again. It’s hilarious too because they’re in that weird crossover demographic of crazy that believe in astrology and naturopathy and past lives and are convinced that veganism can cure anything but also think that the Obama admin faked climate change data and that the ACA hasn’t pushed us into full blown chavismo yet thanks to Trump’s heroic statesmanship.

It's amazing to see Orange County turning blue. I've been trying to vote out Mimi and her her birther-dog-whistler predecessor since I've been old enough to. If Mimi and Kim both go down, the county will be completely represented by Dems  People aren't overtly Democratic here, but you will see "librulz  " bumperstickers from time to time. So it's comforting to get some confirmation that most people here are pretty reasonable.

Having never been to California, I'd just assumed Orange County was already blue. Was genuinely surprised to find out from this thread that it wasn't.

Two things: 1: That Trump minifig is just loving awful, all you need to do is get a bunch of Palpatine faces and put them on his skin tone and you're golden, c'mon guys 2: $30 for 100 pieces? That's some Star Wars level lovely price per piece. EDIT: Jesus christ, that Trump fig is just so goddamn awful it's hypnotic. TARDISman fucked around with this message at 04:39 on Nov 14, 2018 |

Rollersnake posted:Having never been to California, I'd just assumed Orange County was already blue. Was genuinely surprised to find out from this thread that it wasn't. The less affluent center (Anaheim, Santa Ana) is solidly Democrat, with a large Hispanic population. There's also a large Vietnamese population that doesn't lean highly towards either party. Apart from that, you have more affluent suburbs and coastal cities that have historically leaned Republican (except for Laguna Beach). Of the 4 districts that are mostly contained in the county, the Republicans have held 3 of them for quite some time. One promising result of this past election is that Irvine solidly went not only for Democratic candidates, but ballot measures as well. Irvine is a huge portion of the suburban, southern district and a tech center economically.

Don't bail them out of jail, either - you'd somehow just wind up in there with them, instead. Nah, they’re fine economically and live in Florida and both of my cousins are pretty cool. In fact they both got biochem degrees not long ago and one of them just got her Pharm D. No idea what those dinner conversations must be like, but I imagine excruciating.

Hope they know someone that will set them up with a hospital job because that way lies an inescapable treadmill of requirements and retail abuse. The money is absolutely not worth it. This year will be the first year I don't go home for Thanksgiving and I'm glad because every time I go back Dad goes off on a white nationalist tirade at the slightest suggestion anything of worth came from someone darker than a sheet of printer paper.

Stuff like this always casts in sharp contrast how insane our political divide is these days. Everything in that picture (minus the Fox News logo) is good, but I know that so many people out there are horrified by the mere thought that women of color might do socialism at them.

Fox is basically the story of The Boy Who Cried Wolf at this point. They've been screaming socialism so hard for so long that now actual socialists are coming out of the woodwork they have no idea what to do. While the liberal media just tries to blackout leftists from any kind of exposure, much like with Trump, the conservative media can't possibly help itself.
