This is true. The problem with a democracy (or really any place with a plurality of people) is that you either A) convert them to your ideas, B) Leave each other alone or C) Jail or kill them. If Ellis and other Progs just wanted to fortify California as a paradise of progressive values and leave others alone that would be one thing, but they all pretty consistently have an imperialist streak that they don't acknowledge where they get really batty at the idea of someone out there in the hinterlands not agreeing with them; no doubt causing violence to some pet minority group. It's not enough that you can walk through New York, the most culturally important place since the hill where Christ was crucified, and see Drag Kids on billboards. They've got to go through the rust belt flipping over rocks to find bigotry and destroy it.
And of course they don't want to jail them, maintain destructive economic policies, mock epidemics of suicide or prescription drug use, etc. But their violence just made them do it. If only they agreed to mass availability of puberty blockers and open borders things could be different.
Ellis just won't admit that she has this imperialist tendency, like most Progs. The one thing Moviebob is honest with himself about is his desire to see his enemies driven before him. Ellis may not think she wants people dead, but if you could take her entire political worldview and shrink it down to a microcosm of a town and ask her "On willow street a cadre of white nationalists live. They're kinda' sketch but don't really bother anyone. What should we do?" and she had authority to do something, I have no doubt she would insist on doing something to fuck with them, at the very least. Progs can't just leave people alone.
