FDR was not a friend of the working class. He was a master appeaser.

Can't think of anywhere else I'd rather live at this moment than my Wilshire Heights bungalow.

Knew that FDR tidbit before I left Baltimore.

Costa Mesa here in deep red Orange county, California. It's much like Dallas with a beach . That moon faced idjit Dana Rohrabacher-TP is my rep in the house.

It's been positively BITCHIN' (as the kids say out here) except for the occasional heatwave. Afternoon breezes off the blue Pacific most every day. I still miss the fall colors from when I lived in Maryland.

Those Republicans have for the most part switched to the Democratic Party because of how batshit crazy the party has gone since adopting all the racist Dixiecrats.

How do you explain why New England which was once a Republican stronghold is now mostly blue, while the states of the Olde Confederacy are all red when they were once solidly Dem?
