California has this very depressing variation on this where you still have decaying urban areas but you also have upscale gentrified areas that nobody but homeless people live in lol. Downtown Sac has a bunch of boarded up storefronts and a bunch of the condo towers are mostly empty

Xaris posted:ooooooo the those dirty sjw cancelculture comment now makes sense lmao. as someone who lives in a place like that, it's not the poor people voting for trump or other reactionaries lol. they just dont vote at all anymore. it's the landlord class that's the vocal minority that carries the district for neonazi politician #17 because everyone else either has to work while the polls are open or they're for some reason required to present 3 forms of id which of course is easy when your a comfortable landowner and hard when you've never lived in the same place for more than a few years, as many poors have. i know a lot of my dads friends who were vocally supportive of trump and not a single one of them actually voted lol. the same was mostly true for the depressed young adult class, who were all big on bernie and just sighed and went to work instead of voting when Hillary got nominated. trump barely got 30% of votes in my county, if you compare the numbers against total voting age citizens
