There are more Republican voters (and therefore possible insurgents and combatants) in California than exist in Texas. 

I say this as a leftie in a deep red state - don't ask for the smoke when it means a repeat of the partition of India/Pakistan with way more guns.

Is it fucked up that I'm less afraid of that than what republicans are planning for the US?

With the track the US is on, I expect anyone who is center to left to end up in a prison camp within the next 10 years.
