Unironically yes. I lived in the Seattle area and witnessed firsthand the effects of state/county/city Democrat rule. Gifted programs cancelled, streets full of homeless and drug addicts. Hateful people yelling at and flipping me off as I take my kids to daycare for the heinous crime of driving a Tesla. I’m a well educated highly paid minority, the kind of voter that Democrats take for granted. I voted Republican down the ballot last election.
- wrs 6mo agoAre you familiar with the phrase “cutting off your nose to spite your face”?
- qwerpy 6mo agoAssuming that people vote a certain way out of spite is narrow-minded. Talk to people outside of your bubble and try to understand them instead of reducing them down to caricatures. I don’t judge people on the left the way that I get judged by them. I genuinely think that my choice of political party is better for my family’s quality of life.
- aurareturn 6mo agoI agree. I would vote republican locally, but I'd vote for anyone to replace Trump and his circle.
- Nursie 6mo agoWell let me be the first to thank you for the extra dollar a litre on my fuel, the extra hundred or so dollars a month on my mortgage and the impending recession that your choice has imposed upon me here in Australia. Thanks so much for voting in Trump and his enablers.
- aurareturn 6mo agoRather than blame this voter, why don't we put some blame onto the democrats. In San Francisco, progressive democrats have wasted billions on homeless and crime but with little to show for. Sometimes democrats do push too far left. Far left is not that much different than far right.
- nozzlegear 6mo agoHorseshoe theory is real, but much like Seattle, SF's biggest problem is politically active NIMBYs (and SF has more than most places). Democrats and Republicans both have NIMBYs, it transcends political boundaries.
- aurareturn 6mo agoNIMBYs aren't causing homeless problems.
- nozzlegear 6mo ago"I don't want affordable apartments or housing in my backyard because it lowers my property value" is a pretty clear amplifier of homelessness.
- aurareturn 6mo agoYou do realize that normal people who can't afford a city will just move to a cheaper area right?
- ceejayoz 6mo agoCool. Who staffs your stores when everyone moves away? Who mows the lawn? Who builds the houses?
- nozzlegear 6mo agoThat's not at all incompatible with what I said though, right?
- nozzlegear 6mo agoYou witnessed the firsthand effects of NIMBY rule, which both parties have in abundance.
- watwut 6mo agoSo, you did not voted for centrists and chosen to vote for nazi salute throwing radicals ... because there are non meek leftists groups. The only way to win against Trump voters like you is to ignore them, because people like you will choose nazi until nazi are the only game in town.

- watwut 6mo agoI said "win against Trump". That you identify so much with Trump that you twisted it into "against me" is telling. That you dont care about overall damage because "I am rich so others suffer" just confirms what I already think about Trump voters.
- qwerpy 6mo agoDid you forget what you wrote? > win against Trump voters like you
