      I am over in Rochester, and I just cried. I used to live in Clifton Springs for a few months and it is terrifying how “red” it gets one or two towns over from the more blue.

      I’m in Erie county and it’s super red once you get outside of Buffalo. I wouldn’t be totally shocked if something like this happened here. The rhetoric used by the nazis in charge is hoping for this kind of violence.
