From her Wikipedia page:

Heather Cox Richardson is an American historian. She is a professor of history at Boston College, where she teaches courses on the American Civil War, the Reconstruction Era, the American West, and the Plains Indians. She previously taught history at MIT and the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

She writes:

Back at the White House, retaliation continued. Trump pardoned or commuted the sentences of all of the January 6 rioters who had been convicted of crimes related to the attempt to overthrow the results of the 2020 presidential election, including Enrico Tarrio, the former leader of the Proud Boys who was serving 22 years for seditious conspiracy to overthrow the government of the United States.

His pardon also included Daniel Rodriguez, who was sentenced to 12 and a half years in prison after pleading guilty to tasing Metropolitan Police Officer Michael Fanone, who suffered cardiac arrest and a traumatic brain injury. “Omg I did so much f—ing s— r[ight] n[ow] and got away,” he texted to his gang. “Tazzed the f— out of the blue[.]”

Richardson doesn’t offer an opinion on the moral nature of Trump’s decision to pardon/commute the sentence of these people, but the reader infers, correctly, that justice and the rule of law is not well served.

We need to prepare ourselves for four years of these fascist actions, and hope we get some semblance of our country back when it’s over.

Of course, there is no science or math behind the map here. But it fits the narrative that people are fleeing California because of its (you name it) environmental regulation, high taxes, woke ideologies, etc.

Why would anyone want to live in a state that, if it were a nation on its own, would be the fourth largest economy on Earth? Leads the planet in innovation? Where someone can ski and surf in the same day?

Better get yer ass down to Texas, the oil-drillin’ and death penalty capital of the world.

If you’re a racist moron who’s desperate to punish blacks, immigrants, Muslims, LGBTQs, as well as intelligent, kind people, you can force yourself to believe that constant torrent of lies that come out of Trump’s mouth.

You go online our turn on the television, not to learn something, but go shopping for ideas that support the hateful crap that’s already in your mind.
