I had the same thought.
Are we paranoid?
If so, are we paranoid enough?

I wouldn’t use the term paranoid. I would say they we are vigilent and possibly need to be more vigilent.

They should take advantage of the situation and relocate to a state where they’d be appreciated.

I must be listening to the MSM too much. When describing Conservatives, always use the most pejorative term possible.

Sure is. That and gun-handling pawn shops are 2nd most reviled things in this POS state. (The Constitution and the United States being the 1st.)
