Do Californians really think they are like the coolest, fittest, trendiest, most tolerant, amazing ppl in the country?

No, we KNOW we are the coolest, fittest, trendiest, most tolerant, amazing ppl in the country.

Californians are too clueless to be smug. The ones that are are transplants from Manhattan, who never stop whining about back in NYC people are "real", unlike the "fake" people here in Cali. Not realizing that all those "fake" Californians are also from NYC. LOL.

Well, I am textbook uncool, am at the high end of the healthy weight range, hate trendy stuff, am very conservative (though also very tolerant of others' opinions until they try to run my life), and consider myself unremarkable. I have lived my entire life in CA. Of course, my husband and I plan on moving out of this state since we are responsible, productive, conservative Republicans, and thus do not fit in here and hate 99% of what our state govt does with our tax money.

in before the lock.

These days California follows the trends that start in Vermont, Oregon, Washington State, and Colorado. Marijuana reform, the legalization of same-sex marriage, education reform in Oregon, etc.
