Funny thing is, in my 50+ years as a Californian i don’t think I’ve ever actually heard the phrase “flyover country” except from some aggrieved political figure trying to manipulate people against the “coastal elites”.

You answered your statement. You live in California. That phrase isn’t directed at you, it is directed at us.

While I am not on social media (other than here), it is frequently directed at me in E-mails or such, usually couched in a phrase such as “why do you people in flyover country vote against your own interests?”
