And more guns in Northern California than in the 5 surrounding states combined.
I did not know that. I heard there was a kind of rugged rural community around there but never known what they were actually like
In the coastal counties is a very weird breed of folks that consider them selves progressive hippies that may well have been born and raised on a peace and love commune, but if you question very far you will find a shit ton of racism, homophobia and transphobia. And they have shotguns.
They aren’t, as a rule, violent about their shitty beliefs, but if you show up on their property (half a mile down a private road) they will absolutely greet you with a warning shot.
On the inland side, same deal, but they vote Trump and have automatic weapons and a bunker full of ammo.
Yep, coastal side, where most of the population is, you got extremely leftist, uh, highly armed, and willing to fight people of all sorts of different varieties. And then, on the other side of the mountain, you've got highly right, highly trusted, highly armed, motherfuckers of all different types.
If it came down to it, I honestly believe the Liberals could defeat the Republicans if you isolated each state and made them duke it out, but I wouldn't imagine that it would be a clean sweep. I think that in California it would be a decisive victory and in Washington and Oregon it would be more to the skin of the teeth.
Aren't the meth addict wood poachers somewhere in that area too?
Yes, you've been here I see
