    California is a very diverse state: about as many people there voted Trump as did people in Texas (in absolute terms, not as a proportion of population).

      Yes, it’s a very effective propaganda style popularized unsurprisingly by Stalin and Mussolini. Just like constantly so fact checks just bleed into each other and people stop trying to keep up, then just jam media full of random shit to freak out about. Maybe they pick something that’s a real issue but more likely they’ll just lead with whatever is most salacious.

    It’s Porterville. There is a city called California City in California, and they have a population of 14k, and are well known for not being the city in the article.

    Fake headlines are everywhere.
