Zero sympathy. The people who live in those places routinely complain about unfairness to them, while then voting based on bigotry and ignorance, jubilating in ICE's cruelty, etc. They have done worse than simply issued harsh words, and they deserve worse in recompense.

But--there is a somewhat objective measure: property prices :)
And they are all higher in blue state coastal cities than in buttfuck Trump-loving nowhere.
