    homeless criminal hell holes that at are places like San Francisco and LA.

    Have you ever been to either city? Because that is not in any way a fair description. Anyway, don’t people like you usually use Chicago for this sort of aspersion?

      Nah, that’s for when they want to mix some anti-black racist dogwhistling in, too.

      It’s common Republican lingo to refer to California, and anywhere wherein, as a “hellhole”.

        Despite never having set foot in California, or they’d realize how much of a shithole the place they live in is in comparison.

      People are literally just walking out of stores with stolen goods at will. People are doing drugs on the streets out in the open. People are breaking into cars in broad daylight.

      Are these things not happening despite all the video evidence and new articles about it happening?

        Got it. You’ve never actually been there. Maybe don’t base all the things you know about a city from YouTube videos.
