“Try visiting small town California. You’ll be amazed at the difference. “
For example?
Carpenteria. Placerville. Paradise. Lots of places really.
You’ll be walking down the street, and all of a sudden someone will say Hi, and it almost shocks you. LOL
If you’re not ready, you’ll be dumbfounded and the moment will pass without you saying something nice in return. Been there, done that. It’s strange how that can throw you for a loop, but it can if your mind is elsewhere.
Julian, in the no. San Diego County mountains. I was floored when I went there: complete difference. The children are polite, too!!:-)
My California county always votes Conservative. You’ll see more American flags flying here than anywhere (the only place I ever saw more were in Idaho.)
But then, we rarely admit that we’re part of California.
