Commiefornia at it again

@QuixoticSoul Conservatives are pretty stupid.

@QuixoticSoul I was going to say--this is the opposite of what you'd expect from my "hippie dippy" state. It's a crony capitalist move for sure. Again we see this situation where a strong wind blows through one day and multiple simultaneous fires start up throughout the state. And power-lines are often the cause. PG&E has been occasionally shutting off power during the worst conditions to prevent their lines from starting fires, but evidently that failed here with the Camp Fire.

The fact is that "commie" doesn't mean "communist" in this instance, it just means "people I disagree with". Useless descriptor.

@daisymay I'm finding that states rights' is only a valid argument if the state is a red state.

@MarineBob That's not really an answer. Do you support states' rights or not?

@daisymay It's curious.

The argument for "states rights" and anti-federalism seems to only apply if one is opposing anti-discrimination laws... such as refusing to bake a gay couple a cake, or marrying a gay couple. Or resisting Medicare expansion. Or Obamacare.

But argue "states rights" in terms of weed or providing sanctuary and you deserve to lose all federal support and protection because of "not following the law".

@Graylight or California which is hardly uniformly left leaning.

@Graylight If you stacked a piece of cardboard for everything that conservatives understand, you'd have a platform approximately 1/2" high.

@CopperCicada No idea. Seriously, I'm not sure what he's on about. He'll just refuse to elaborate, anyway, so all we really have is conjecture.

@daisymay What's weird to me is how monolithic people in red areas seem to regard California. Like it's all like the Tenderloin, Folsom Street Fair, and Haight.

@MarineBob Here are some more deaths of people you don't like for you to cheer:
