    Washington is unlikely to be able to pass any anti-trans legislation on the outside chance that the Republicans ever manage a full sweep of state offices. Which is tremendously unlikely, because if the Dems lose votes in their enclaves in this state, they're as likely to go to DSA candidates as Republicans.

      True, but that's not necessarily middle America.

      I know this is a lib take I made, but also Washington and more specifically the Pacific Northwest, hence why nazis target portland a lot. They seem to have an almost perfect combat record there, so we know the nazis that ARE there are some of the nastiest, most organized hogs out there.

      I know California isn't really all that better as I know that a lot of Eastern California is hog territory.

        They really don't have a perfect combat record. They just don't get arrested because the cops are on their side. But they do get the crap kicked out of them on a regular basis. Also, a lot of local antifascists have found that the best way to deny them the opportunity to get violent is to restrict their access to their event, preventing them from massing up in the first place.

          Storing that knowledge for later.
