Well then you understand as well as I, that all of California isn't LA and SF. Some counties in this state are very conservative. And once you leave the coastal areas of California, most of the folks stand pretty far to the right. It's unfortunate, that many out of state folks sit around and watch hollywood sitcoms and follow all that hollywood bull $hit.
It's funny, ourselves and most of our friends don't watch these sitcoms or other hollywood BS, we don't go to the rose parada, Disneyland, game show filmings etc etc, yet these venues are filled with people from Georgia, Florida, Ohio, Alabama, Utah, and all over the country.....
We have friends in the high desert of California that we know are to the right of most of this entire country, and they barbeque with most of the cops in the county and don't take a lot of crap from outsiders or the AH communist in Sacramento.
There are lots of very rural areas of California, and most of the people out there are not big city socialist screw worms....Just the opposite. I could go into details about how hard core some these folks are, but I wont/can't. Trust me.....
Most of the folks that think we here in California are all a bunch of plastic, socialist, that all live in Hollywood and SF, think like tourist. It aint the way it is.
I know that there are plenty of traditional-style conservative Californians, particularly on the central coast - a big reason why I've sent my freshman daughter to SLO for college - in the high desert and the great Central Valley. These are the folks who keep the dream alive and prevent the Bel Air Bolsheviks from enacting even more extreme legislation than they already do. The Bay Area and LA Basin political machines are the enemy, they're very well entrenched at the state level, and they add to their power base every day with illegal immigration and the spread of socialist patronage. The inmates are running the asylum here, and using their media megaphones to convince the rest of us that we're the crazy ones.
