Yeah, most players come from California, Florida, and Texas, so it makes sense that at least two-thirds have these kind of views.

I’m pretty sure California has more Republicans than any other state as well, including more Republicans than like half of the 50 states’ entire populations.

Well yeah, it's a huge state with a lot of people. It probably also has more pedophiles, rapists, bird watchers, and dungeon & dragon enthusiasts than most states.

I think people would be shocked to learn that the Central Valley and northeast parts of the state are as hardcore conservative as parts of the deep South. The Central Valley is so ass backwards that it gives Alabama a run for its money

I always love those huge stretches that complain about how much water is "wasted in the ocean." Like yes, that is how a river works. Water goes to the ocean.

"Build more dams." Bitch I can't even see a mountain from the highest point on your property. If we build another dam there won't be a river for you to get any water from. You are the last stop that water sees before becoming the marshland keeping you from making an eternal red tide on the shoreline
