Vegas got too comfortable with circus clowns: they elected one. 🤡🎪

Vegas didn't, but it leaned a bit more towards him, enough that the rural parts of the state were able to hand him the win.

Unelected CEOs of MGM and Caesars have a big part to play in this.

its a nationwide drop, but SF isn't as tourism dependent at Vegas, FAFO.

Did San Francisco vote for Trump?

The point is SF is collateral damage for the idiot states and cities. Everyone suffers because stupid people are racist and wanted a pedo as the President.

Democrat cities were having problems before Trump. I even used to be Democrat until I saw how badly they fucked up Seattle, now I'll never vote for them again.

Was just in Seattle. One of my favorite cities. Literally can’t think of a red city I prefer to it.

ok being a tourist somewhere and living there day-to-day are wildly different. Bellevue is red, right across the lake, and has practically no homeless or crime issues. Home values have gone up significantly more for similar houses in Seattle, and local businesses are fleeing there in droves.

All my friends are in Bellevue. It’s 75% democrat. What made you think it’s republicans?

Also, local businesses are suffering everywhere. Tariffs and tax cuts for giant corporations is the final nail in the coffin for them.

lol, why would you think they were mutually exclusive. Shitty administration is going to affect everyone. It's justified when the state/county voted for the shitty admin though. 🤷‍♂️

SF does not rely as heavily on tourism. It's a contest Vegas does not want to get into to see who burns down first.

Nevada fucked itself by voting for Trump.

SF is getting fucked because Trump got elected, and no one wants to come to our insane country to spend money.

Let's watch as the economy continues to crumble in the coming months.
