I am so old I remember a time when Republicans and Democrats were friends...
@freemo
It could happen again.
@pthenq1 Not anytime soon. All indications is that both parties are spiraling towards ever increasing extremism and violence.
@freemo
I don't see the blue one getting crazy.
Republicans have all the internal believers in conspirational and so on.
They hate. As we all can see in Fox news.
No matter. The global warming consequences will make them return to their senses...
His racist comment was the very first time ive seen him do that in all the time I knew him. I cant say I liked that tactic but it had less hate in it than most racism at least I guess ::shrug::... it is a shame that the first time your interacting with him is with that message honestly.
Either way I understand your reaction given the extent of violence we all went through at the hands of democrats for 4 years, even myself who opposed Trump got a lot of abuse from that side of the table.

I am a fellow American living in California. No everybody agree, but I think California is still part of the States.
Trump years created a lot of violence in both sides of the political spectrum.
I see people coming to their senses now. It doesn't mean agreement. Just normal political non violent debate.
I saw lot of violence against minorities in Trump years. In that matter things are better now.
"Trump years" didn't really create the violence, it existed prior to him being elected. The media just suddenly had a great scapegoat to excuse any and all violence against the people they disagree with.
I've seen a lot of violence against ordinary white people too. But for some reason nobody cares when the whites are being disenfranchised, even though they built most of the modern world, and most of the modern infra you're using *right now* to shit on them.
Since I have worked in IT out of california many times my view of californias is going to be very skewed as my "sample" is not really the general population.
That said I have found californians to be extreme democrats usually favoring very excessive regulation to solve all of lifes problems. I would laugh at Cali when i was there because everything you bought and everything you did usually accompanied with fine print at the bottom of a sign that was half the length of the sign. I remember going to a park once and needed a lawyer to interpret the small-print at the bottom of the visitors welcome sign about all the things you cant do.
That said while I strongly disagree with the authoritative approach californians tend to embrace I wouldnt personally describe them as incapable of nuance, where they fail is their response to that nuance. They are often very bright people (in my circles) and more than capable to hold an intelligent well detailed argument. But in the end they just have their priorities all backwards where getting people to conform is more important than personal freedoms.
We have that quality. Californians are Awesome people. 
I understand people misunderstanding strong regulations.
One way to see it is that you are free and own of your destiny. The world is not a place that you must crash while you look for self realization though.
So other people discovered, for example, that car pollution emissions are bad. And they did something about it. Therefore you will follow the law about using cars with cathalitics gas treatment and buying expensive gas super purified, either you believe in science or not, believe in global warming or not, etc.
Follow the regulations than older people than you or just better people than you put in place. Your self discovery is not required. And that's freedom.
You get this, you get California.
That doesn't sound like something I would want to spread anywhere.
As a data scientist let me just say you'd be surprised how many things we keep data on. Not all data is comprehensive enough, but there is data to some degree on almost anything.
Yes.

Homeless are Americans. With lot of troubles
I also can't really take them seriously on their values of human beings given their lunatic views on gender and sexuality. LGBTQIAPP++ (or whatever nightmare they've made it into now) acceptance has been an atrocity for the human race.
