This person is a fucking cartoon character.
I don't know California local politics at all, but surely this is a guaranteed way to immediately put your career on the chopping block in LA, right?
Orange county is quite conservative for the area, and the area is more conservative than you'd think from the usual LA depictions
How disappointing...
As a person from OC that's not true the outer cities of OC are conservatives while the center areas are democratic cities.
Orange county is rich white snob country. I guarantee this person has the backing of 75% of the county.
Are you from OC or are you just saying?
Placentia and Yorba are white areas yes but the rest of central OC is Hispanics, Blacks, Asians, and Pacific Islanders migrants that are not even close to conservatives.
All outer areas of OC are rich areas and the central OC where Santa Ana, Stanton, Anaheim, Tustin are regular folks that look at cops with suspicion.
So no OC is not rich white snob country.
Placentia has a substantial, long-settled Chicano population along with more recent Hispanic arrivals (together, 38% of the population), not only white suburbanites. Yorba's a bit more Tricky Dick country. But both cities are quite ethnically diverse.
Up to a point. A lot of OC Asians and Pacific Islanders vote conservative. So do many members of other immigrant groups you didn't mention, including those from the Middle East. That's due to cultural conservatism and a belief that they'll pay lower taxes.
But I agree with you that nobody who knows Orange County well would describe it as "rich white snob country." That might apply to the coastal fringe and some hilltop horse properties, but that's about it.
I read the headline and assumed Florida. WTF.
