Yeah, I’m just fed up with this trash idea that New Yorkers and Californians aren’t real Americans or dont’ work hard. For all the crap that gets thrown at the left for being elitist, I think red state rural Americans are some of the most elitist people of them all because they think they’re better than people simply because of their race, religion, and state.

And for a state (CA) that “heartlanders” suppose to be full of illegal-alien welfare slackers and crippled by “overbearing” taxes and regulations, the place still manages to maintain an economy that (if California was an independent nation) would be the fifth- or six-largest in the world. And generates 15% of the US’s GDP (with 12% of its population).
