Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca also apply here. See the sidebar on the homepage:
Sparsely populated agricultural areas and shitholes like Bakersfield aren't common tourist destinations. You don't need to tell someone to avoid them. So yeah they're "deep red" in the sense that half a dozen yokels that live there are idiots, but they're very, very much in the minority.
And honestly, having traveled a bit, even California Conservatives aren't as Conservative as they think they are; a fact which becomes extremely apparent when they leave the state and then get slapped in the face with actual out and proud racism and they get othered for being from California.
It would be funny if it weren't so sad.
Absolutely true. I know a conservative who moved away from a smaller conservative town in CA to a true red state small town and even he was shocked by the casual use of the hard R N-word use.
