Even the conservative areas like Redding are pretty screwed up places, tons of homeless transients with drug problems. The average person in these areas is definitely better but the government of the state has been on an epic crime spree that is decimating the state. It's really sad but I've had to accept it's better at this point for me to just move on to somewhere else. If you want a good example of how screwed up California is go from Arizona to needles, ca there's a huge difference from the Arizona side to the California side once you cross the Colorado River, it's like going from America into a third world country even though you're in the same actual geographic region with the landscape being the same.
I'll admit I ended up saying fuck you and flipping off a bunch of workers at a store today after I was refused service at the checkout for not wearing a mask. I'm visiting a red state and it had been pretty decent so far but I walked into the wrong store I guess and it caught me off guard. I'm not exactly proud of myself but I'm not sure what we are supposed to do at this point
