This is the 100% honest sales pitch of the American conservative movement. They only have to convince a few thousand morons in Wisconsin and Arizona to win, so they're not hiding anything. Vote for the Democratic nominee - these are the stakes.
We’re coming for the Civil Rights Act next, then the New Deal.
We’re gonna repeal the 20th century.

COTTON: "Washington has just over 700,000 residents, more than Wyoming and Vermont, and about as many as Alaska. Doesn't this qualify Washington as a state? Well, if it did, we'd need a lot more states because Washington is just the 20th largest city in the country."

not just that, but if you spend any appreciable amount of time in a room with college town NIMBYs, you'll probably notice an often unspoken but deep-seated racist hatred of Asian-American students in particular
Most UC college towns except LA and San Diego would probably be nothing, dime-a-dozen suburbs nobody cares about if it weren't for a UC Campus being there and yet NIMBY locals always talk down on the student population.

UCSF says a new 1.5 million-square-foot hospital and research facility at its Parnassus Heights campus is the cure for its aging buildings and inadequate beds. Neighbors say the plan is far too large.

Annual global death rate is about 55M/year. In that context, an extra 16M deaths in 2020 would be a big deal, yes, but not a huge deal.
