Uh huh. Back to the “blue-leaning racists” thing, huh. How about you define racism for the readers ... because “blue-leaning” are typically associated as defending minorities.

Maybe post something factual instead of resorting to blaming Trump. Name calling and making up bull **** is a thing for some people.

The reason Republicans aren't getting elected in California IS Trump, do we have to ignore the obvious? Many of Trump's policies have been directed at California with the aim to hurt the State. My cousin lives in Dana Point, he's politically very conservative but he registered as an independent when the California Republicans didn't stand up to Trump when he decided to allow oil drilling off our coast, especially when he exempted Florida from drilling in order to ensure election of goofy eyes Rick Scott.

And I didn't call anyone names, why are you so hostile? If you want to spend your day sharing stories about the wonderful things Trump does every day without being bothered by people who disagree with you try Reddit r/The _Donald .

I didn’t read any “name calling” either. Nor any false narratives. Pretty reasonable POV, really. And one commonly expressed in the state even by Republicans.

According to who? You in your worldview? I thought you weren't a prisoner of ideologies, but here you happily stick to a stereotype of blue leaners.

From what? Mythical racism? Mythical discrimination? Mythical white privilege? Not enough affirmative action or quotas or bonus SAT points or racial preferences?

Probably but I think Orange County was going blue way before Trump.

And I don't blame him for sticking it to California considering California sticks to law abiding Americans by making everything a sanctuary.

I agree, especially with your first sentence. Republican Travis Allen toed the Trump party line to a "T" and therefore lost the gubernatorial primary here to his fellow Republican, John Cox. Cox then had an opportunity to appeal to moderates and independents in the general election (both groups in CA tend to have an overwhelmingly negative view of Trump), but when push came to shove, Cox crumbled and did not disavow Trump. Even if Cox might not be a fan of Trump, when Trump endorsed him, Cox said he would welcome Trump to campaign for him in California and that was more than enough to ensure he would lose the election.

You cannot win this state by kissing the a$$ of the California-hater-in-chief.


(Bold mine.)

You're calling me sore loser right off the bat and I'm the one that's hostile? Lol okay.

If anything is an echo chamber is here in the CA sub forums, there's three or four of you that gang up and drown out others.

What “according to who”? Explain what you are referring to please.

In what way do I exhibit “imprisonment by ideology”? Explain what you are referring to please.

Defense of minorities is a “stereotype” of blue-leaners? Hahahahahahahaha ... yes. For good reason: truth.

You still haven’t defined “racism” as you use the term.

Nor answered how / why / who liberals are “racists”.

If you are not capable of cogent dialogue explaining your thoughts maybe you should stick to topics you have expertise in such as electrical engineering?
