I comment a lot on stories having to do with state governments and legislation or regions of the country. It got me wondering how many people I'm accidentally disparaging when I don't mean everyone in said state or region is terrible. So… Please be as specific or obtuse as your privacy filter requires. I'll start:

I'm in the Bay Area, specifically Oakland. Despite Bay Area hate from some posters, I think it's great. How about you?

I'm outside Allentown, but half my family is from up near Towanda. It is an odd state due to how we're spread out.

We've got Confederate flags around here as well. Less things plastered with Trump signs lately, but the last few months I've seen businesses with Houck signs all over. He's an anti abortion activist that twice assaulted a 70+ year old man that was a patient escort at a clinic.

All the people I meet from all over the state are usually very kind, but politically what many of them believe just confuses me. I just didn't know what would ever change their voting bloc if things haven't done so by now.
