While hate may be a strong word, and I don't always agree, I dont see Semp go around spewing Vitriol about others situations, or make demeaning statements about States others live in. His attitude has always been patriotic towards the country as a whole - you know the USA.

Where can we find the info where California is no longer America? I am encouraged to learn that homelessness is only a "west coast" thing. Now when I visit other States located within OUR country (not located on the West Coast) - and I cast derogatory, and demeaning comments towards others living in tents, and broken down RV's - I will know that these people are not homeless and are more fortunate than those on the West Coast and dont deserve to be looked down upon. Whew. . . lesson learned. ( .EndSarcasm)
Perhaps it is wrong to think most of us were taught common decency. To never stand on a pedestal and put down others for being less fortunate, homeless, addicted to whatever, suffer from mental illness or crow about our good fortunes. The only thing missing here is modesty.
