Apparently Northern White Californias.

"NYT has a whole-*** genre of sad white people staring pensively out window in darkened room stories," podcaster Shaun Lau tweeted, followed by an invitation, "If you're a sad white person, feel free to tweet a photo of yourself staring out a window and I'll give you a NYT caption," leading, in turn, to a Times Magazine-worthy thread.

Mark Baird, one of the plaintiffs, says residents of California’s far north feel as though they are being governed by an urbanized elite.

“I wake up in the morning and think, ‘What is California going to do to me today?’’’ said Mr. Baird, a former airline pilot who owns a ranch about an hour’s drive from the Oregon border. In a grass valley framed by low-lying hills, Mr. Baird’s pastures are filled with his small herd of buffalo and a few pens of horses and donkeys.

Mr. Baird complains of restrictions on the types of guns he can own. “It’s tyranny by the majority,” he said. “The majority should never be able to deprive the minority of their inalienable rights.”
