Those people are the exact reason rainbow capitalism exists and I'm declaring that I will never fly a pride flag at my house just to keep them the fuck away from me.
only 23% of the cities registered voters headed to the polls.
There's your problem right there, America.
If you don't vote, the assholes will, and the assholes will win.
Huntington Beach is red, so it probably would be the same with a large turnout.
Who knows, though? There's a damn good reason why Republicans make it incredibly hard to vote.
As a Californian and Orange County resident, I apologize about Huntington Beach. If anybody wants them, feel free to take them away from us. Perhaps maybe Florida?
I drove by the Pier area this afternoon. Where there are usually the doom and gloom religious nuts, or the very similar Maga fuckheads, I didn't see them. This time it was someone actually protesting trump. Good to see. HB is a great city. Well, I mean, aside from the politics and aging skinheads.
The charter amendment bars the city from flying anything on city property but the city flag, the Orange County flag, the state of California flag and the American flag as well as some military flags and the Olympic flag.
Why allow the Olympic flag? That really seems like the odd flag out.
Huntington Beach hates teh ghey. Noted.
