But that isn't even true.

There aren't a majority anywhere (they're rather spread out), but California has the largest number.

That's still technically the southern half of the country but I'll concede that point.

The SLPC's definition of a hate group is bad, but yeah, according to them California has the largest number.

Regardless, Tokora's originally argument that Nazis are basically in the same league as poor Southerners is garbage.

Plot twist, they're concentrated in the northern half of the state. Once you're inland and north of Sacramento between like Redding and Oregon the state gets suuuuuuuper racist. It's where all the State of Jefferson guys are and other state separatists whose goal is to section off the whitest part of the state from the rest of it where it's very diverse. Fell into a trap once, because I'm from Northern California and love it (but no further north than Sacramento, and prefer the coast) and had a flag I googled but didn't research for Northern California, turned out it represented a racist NorCal group. But yeah, wander too far off that I-5 corridor headed towards Oregon (and into Oregon) and it gets crazy racist.

They don't "usually overlap" tho.

I'm sure there are Nazis throughout the United States. I hear Illinois is especially bad for them.

No, what society needs to do is grow thicker skin.
What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive? Or if during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? The Organs would quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

So it got cancelled because Trump got triggered by the idea of his base being depicted as poor innocent victims, it seems.

Would the premise indicate with almost near certainty that the redhats would be the bad guys and the trans women would come out on top at the end, as in this movie where it's clear to anyone with even a passing understanding of narrative could see that the hunters are not the heroes of the film?

Movie should not have been cancelled. I get holding its release due to the mass shootings, but it should not have been outright shelved.

Also more mass shootings are gona happen in the states anyway, what were they gona do? Postpone its release every time it happens? Because then it would never come out.

Going straight for the NO U when I'm confused about why he hates the idea of something that would otherwise support his narrative.

I bet it'll go like Ctoan predicted, it'll get quietly released once the hubbub has died down.

I heard Get Out was good so this movie might be good too.

If it takes the piss out of both sides and has enough black humor in it it might be good.

I wouldn't really want to releace such a thing nor do I think that people should be killed for there poltical bellefs. That and if the movie tilts to much to one side it could just be seen as propaganda. Also I wouldn't want to releace it beacuse there is enough hyper partzan ship in the US allready, dont want to add more.

But who knows, it might be balneced enough to be funny and take the piss from both sides.

Doonnie likely didn't bother to go further than "Liberal Elites Hunting Deplorables" and just started bawling as most conservatives did. The same professionally offended mindset that called Mass Effect a "sex simulator".
