    In the 2000s, at the very least Republicans would say that ‘freedom’ is for the bourgeoisie. Affordable housing = telling porky what to do = bad.

    But here, it inadvertently plays into chuds trying to blame California’s woes on insufficient racism or god economically punishing them for being too LGBT friendly. They’re saying that civil rights makes things expensive.
