As they watch Arizona, the once white dominated fortress of conservatism, change in real time to a beautiful multi-cultural oasis.

They see an Arizona that is in play politically.

They see an Arizona where racist politicians like Joe Arpaio can no longer act with unchecked impunity.

They see names like "Smith", "Thompson" and "McDonnell" disappear from mailboxes in their once pasty white neighborhood being replaced by "Gutierrez", "Singh" and "Zhang".

They want so badly to be able to hop into a time machine and go back to 1950 when women knew their place, minorities stayed on their side of town, LGBT stayed in the closet and children never questioned their elders.
