Republicans vote to repeal Obamacare just blew up in their faces

56. Good for you to make that point. There's counties in CA I don't want to drive through.

Butte County, for instance. The Butte County high school principal once stopped a showing of Schindler's List to the senior class because it depicted 'inappropriate material'. He was, of course, a dedicated right-wing racist member of all sorts of local Klan fronts. The Butte County Sheriffs are of the worst variety of police imaginable. It's a dedicated White Pride zone, with a frightened and harassed but sizable Hispanic population.

The foothill suburbs of Sacramento are the Worst of the Worst. Creeps me out to be anywhere near those communities. Orangevale is a nightmarish libertarian paradise, for instance. Murderish beasts everywhere when I lived there for a short time. Psychotic neighbors with tortured dogs. Smiling old-timey racists living in every other house.

Also -- Sacramento has the honor of being the only place in the entire United States where the KKK felt comfortable opening a public office for their newspaper. It was firebombed after a few months and never reopened, but still.

Plenty of good and bad pockets all over this country. Tennessee has some awesome blue towns and communities, I'm sure.

Well said.
