I mean, maybe some parts, maybe Riverside, just, uh, getting granular here in, in SoCal.

Uh, there's a few p- places that are more old school, you know, Ronald Reagan type Republicans still around, or if you go to Balboa Island, I recommend, uh, been there a bunch of times.
Razib KhanHOST
Um, one thing that I'll say is, uh, the South's population share, the census region, uh, not the extended cultural zone that you're talking about as the Sunbelt, is now almost 40% of the country.

Um, they have three of California's top 10 richest zip codes.

It would put the peninsula underwater.
