As Rod Serling said at the end of the iconic and sickening twilight zone episode Its a good life, "No comment here. No comment at at all." This article completely nails it and anything I add would be superfluous.
Interesting read. So rural California is a liberal dystopia?
Yes, I live in CA, too.
Look at the map. Read what he said. Two Californias - a rich coastal and.. everyone else.
The coastal people, in very California fashion, have told everyone there to go to hell. Perhaps they'll insist Trump extend his wall 5 miles from the coast all the way up. That way they can protect themselves from the mess they made.

You talk like the amount of people living on the coast is equal to those inland.
Los Angeles County, Sacramento County,Alameda County, San Diego County,San Francisco, Santa Clara County are 25 million of the 39 million people who live in California.

Yup and at least - meaning at minimum - 1 in 3 are on state/fed welfare services of some kind in those places... Montecito on the other hand..
It describes numerous un-pleasantries of day to day life in the Central Valley, then attributes them to the Coastal liberals controlling the State. Typical guilt by association fallacy.
A very similar article can be written, say, about misery in rural Alabama or Kentucky. Then the author can say that is due to Republicans/Conservatives being in charge there. Would be exactly the same poor reasoning.
Upshot, out of the top 10 states only Utah is a red state. Out of the bottom 10 only DC is blue. Seems like a more compelling indication of policy impacts on the population.

Would you say the conservative areas are hellholes because they're filled with conservatives, or is it more a case of people turning conservative because they find themselves in a hellhole?
Do you understand that liberals run the state government in California, which includes rural areas?
No, the concept is foreign to me.
I live in a nice democratic-voting urban neighborhood, and people leave our stuff alone. It's sad that the red areas are so unpleasant, of course.
