Seems like it to me. I know they have plenty of competition; San Francisco, Seattle, Oakland, etc., but I'm not seeing any of those places acting quite as extremely as Berkeley. At the moment, anyway.

When it gets to the point where free speech is being shut down at a PUBLICLY FUNDED UNIVERSITY, something needs to be done. If I'm Trump, I would withhold their taxpayer funding until those left-wing loons stopped acting like some sort of subhuman species.

And just for the record, this goes for BOTH the dysfunctional town & the out-of-control university. Screw the town; Screw Cal-Berkeley, too.

That's got to be someplace smack dab in the middle of the country, in "flyover country". I nominate Mena, Arkansas for that dubious honor.

What exactly has Mena done to embarrass this country lately? What actions have the good citizens of Mena taken that directly undermine American values?

I haven't read where people in Mena, AR are burning down property and attacking American citizens in order to silence free speech.

Correct me if I'm wrong about that.

It's certainly the anti-American headquarters. Should just drop a couple MOAB's on it and be done with that shithole

Well maybe that "butthole of America" description may be a little harsh for Mena. But I've been there and found the people to be quite unfriendly and unwelcoming of ethnic minorities. It's just based on personal experience

Your persona most likely shows in real life also.

Berkeley is pretty great actually

Chez Panisse started the farm to table trend. That was back when liberalism was a good thing tho

Ex wife's cousin lives in Berkley. She's been living in a 5000 sq ft section 8 home for 12 years while working under the table to stack cash, sent her a lovely wedding card that said "good job marrying a baby killer". Great people out there, I tell ya!

It's Mississippi and Louisiana. Why else would the longest river in the country flow right smack in the middle of both states???

It's extremely ironic because Berkeley is the definition of privilege

Yeah San Francisco, Berkeley, Seattle totally horrible cities compared to Bumfrick, Nowhere. That's why the cost of living is so high-- because no one wants to live there.
