California is only "liberal" in the major cities and coastal regions.

Once you go beyond the Inland Empire, it's pretty conservative---like most rural areas.


Sounds like Texas, though Austin and Houston lean more to the left than the other major cities. Rural areas outside of the Rio Grande Valley are extremely conservative, especially in East Texas and the Panhandle.

Roberts County, in the Panhandle, is the most conservative county in the U.S. Trump received 95% of the vote there. It is one of five remaining dry counties in the state.

As for Houston, the city itself is very progressive, especially in neighborhoods like Montrose. The suburbs, with the exception of Galena Park, Jacinto City and the northern and western parts of Pasadena (our largest suburb) are solid Trump country.

Los Angeles is a Sanctuary City and has the biggest budget for supporting the homeless of any American country, so of course it's going to attract people without the means or the wherewithal to support themselves.

But it also seems to attract some of the meanest nastiest a**holes in Hollywood.

You can see third world stuff here in my state and it has plenty of conservatives.
My road fell off and I didn’t have mail or trash pick up for around three weeks.The mental health clinic had guineas roosting by the front door and once a toilet inside was filled with mosquito wrigglers.Luckily they were discovered before they morphed and bit everyone.

Same with Pensacola Florida. I swear this whole town is a slum. :?
