    For the most liberal state in the Union, “Commiefornia” has an awful lot of conservatives and bigots

    My university campus alone has had two hate crimes in the last year, one against a Muslim student and one against a gay student

      I mean if you’re looking for the 25-30% they still think Trump is doing a good job and they approve, that’s it

      California is so goddamn huge that it can’t help but represent a wider range of demographics. I’d be interested to know how it compares against the overall national rate of acceptance.

      Edit: If you average all of the numbers on the map together, the national average is 67%. Whether or not that’s a responsible way to work with this data… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      Californian here. My LGBTQ+ friends have all sorts of bigot stories. Bigots are like worms/maggots. You can find them anywhere.

      Some of the big cities have mostly the progressives, but once out into the countryside or further away and into certain suburbs there are angry red areas.
