Even my beloved California has its share of Right Wing hate groups and White Supremacists. That said, anyone claiming it isn’t more prevalent in some parts of the country than others is being disingenuous.

they could go to Safeway, Walmart, any type of grocery store, a pizza place, most restaurants that are delivering, or hospitals that need custodian. If they want this to end so they can go back to their own jobs they can volunteer for helping with things that help with getting this under control. They won't because they know that puts them in danger.
