I see quite a few of them spouting off on Nextdoor and Facebook to blame Newsom and the "Democrat party" for any issues that are brought up, especially crime and homelessness. They're in the minority, thank goodness, but they are a very vocal minority. Idiots. Luckily, their comments are usually countered by the sane people and they're vastly outnumbered here in the Bay Area.
