    A link to the actual videos instead of a random guy talking about it would have been better but I’m not really sure what it has to do with authoritarianism either way…

      I did a quick search and apparently it’s just bait.

      If they’re talking about the video in this article, they don’t mention racism at all. Sure, that could’ve been a reason, but the tweet implies some sort of epiphany that didn’t happen.

        Of course. Posts like this are such trash. I have no idea why people upvote unsubstantiated claims from random screenshots

        They may not mention racism specifically, but:

        ”We decided after 3 years in Idaho, we are going back home," the family stated. “We wanted to move to a Conservative state, but we realized what it would mean to fit in.”

        They continued, “It would mean we would need to be judgmental. We would need to gossip about others. Have our kids forget how to say please and thank you. Talk bad about new people moving here for a better life.”

        Explaining why they initially moved away from California, they said, “Left California because of politics but forgot there are other kinds of politics to consider…”
