>Wait, what was the point of linking that article?

The bay area is the most liberal area. Comparing to other cities that happened to have liberal majorities is pointless. It's like calling a community with 3% minorities just as diverse as a community with 45% minorities.

>are you saying people are being run over by cars

If you think it requires violence to be intolerant, you need to expand your views.

>Are houses being spray painted?

Cars with Trump stickers vandalized, yes.

>Are wedding cakes not being baked for Republican couples?

I'm not sure. It would be a little hard to tell since political parties rarely show up on the cake request forms.

This is a very old debate (I mean, the 'If we are intolerant of intolerance, is does that make us intolerant ourselves?' thing) - and I'm not saying I have the answers, (and my perception is that at least before Trump, Republicans were totally acceptable) but it's really not very relevant to my point.

My point is just that Texas and California are not exactly substitutable goods, as it were. just like how there are people who would be much happier in Texas than California for non-monitary reasons, there are people who would be much happier in California than in Texas for non-monetary reasons.

My argument is just that saying that lining up Texas with California as competitors for talent is... probably not as correct as, say, lining up California and NYC.

You're assumption that Republicans represent intolerance already reveals your partisanship. It's comical that you can't even see the insanity of that equivalence.

More preconceived notion crap. I suggest you lookup the city that most bay area residents moved to last year.
