As mentioned, CA is a different world and I have lived in San Jose and worked several years in Silicon Valley/Palo Alto/San Ramon as I’m high tech and SV was where the $$$ were. Overall, we agree, just in different ways. My ex is also a PhD and tenured Professor as a 2nd career. Comfortable gig. All politics suck and one of my friends worked with Trump in the West Wing, quickly resigned early in the first term and calls the most evil person he has ever met. No other way around it, but most elected Republicans now ignore and overlook what was a clear attempt to overthrow the gov’t. That’s when they lost my vote
Why would I live in the hood ? I’m well educated and quite successful. 40yr Anti-Trump Republican. There are educated successful Republicans, then there are the MAGA crowd like MTG, Boebert, and Bannon. You must have Ben a horrible law enforcement pro if you’re clueless about violent crime. Look at the stats of every large city. You’re a 🐑 as you believe everything that the Republicans are spewing. I am a thoroughly disgusted Republican as the party can not even agree amongst themselves
Google it. I am also from the US. Chicago, NYC, Houston, Miami, pick a city. SF is a special case. And it’s called the Selective Service, not a draft, and it’s been enforced for over 50 years
