That all Californians are liberal hippies, once you get out of the bay or L.A it's rather libertarian. I live in the mountains outside of Sacramento and you see Trump stickers everywhere

I've heard that Silicon Valley is overall pretty libertarian. Not sure the accuracy on that, however.

Silicon Valley is mostly liberals, but don't get me wrong there are libertarians, especially among business owners. The same goes for L.A., where places like riverside county are mostly right wing, but overall Los Angeles is very liberal.

Yeah, I guess I was thinking mainly about the business owners. You know, everybody and his cousin having a start-up (which is probably another false stereotype).

That we're all hillbillies without shoes.
We are not.

...Are you hillbillies with shoes?

No hillbillies here. Usually gotta roam the more rural areas for a true hillbilly.

We have some redeeming qualities other than being next to San Francisco.

It's not as fugly and run down as you'd think. Okay...a lot of it is. But not all.

That we all smoke weed.
