Oops, right you are @ghastly.
Another thing I should have said is that California, like any and all other States, is comprised primarily of lots and lots of families---mothers, fathers, and children, grandmothers and grandfathers, aunts and uncles, living their lives. Going to work, going to school, shopping at the grocery store, ordering stuff on Amazon, living average lives. I know CA has an image, but it’s an illusion. "Coastal Elites"? That’s a contrived term used to achieve a political objective, not a reality. A tactic to manipulate the easily fooled.
What’s with the hatred, schubert? "Kooler than thou"? How about Holier Than Thou? Judge not, lest ye be judged.
