I don't particularly like Gavin and he obviously isn't going to tout our housing prices or homeless problem, but yeah, he's right (and it's true for most blue states).
Brainwashing reds is spooky, and after seeing so many AI images of my hometown on fire, it's only going to get worse.
While I agree with both his points and yours, I have to wonder how productive it is to essentially be baited into saying "your state sucks! California number one!"
Doesn't really seem like the best way to deprogram a deeply brainwashed and prideful culture.
It isn't, and I've got friends in the Midwest who are more or less held hostage by people who vote R regardless of anything. We're not really sure how you deprogram people, but having the poster child for smug, San Fran elitist be our spokesperson ain't it.
That said, someone like Walz doesn't seem to change their views, either. It feels rather helpless, honestly.
You can't deprogram people until they're removed from the programming that caused the issue in the first place. Sadly, that's the majority of media outlets and social media these days.
At this point I don't even care. These idiots will destroy the world no matter what I do, so at least I can get some smug satisfaction dopamine in the process.
