Thanks again for the local perspective. I was under the impression Newport area was conservative but now it seems like that’s not a well defined term. Can someone describe the typical Newport conservative to me then?

No part of Southern California is socially conservative. Pretty much everyone, including the most conservative politicians, are pro-choice, pro gay marriage, pro equality. This is California! Newport Beach is relatively progressive.

Honestly, you will not be happy in California.

I wish this was true. I live in South OC, and depending on the area, it can be VERY socially conservative. Laguna Beach is not, and Newport Beach also isn't. (Newport has more fiscal conservatives, social progressives.) Inland South OC, can be very socially conservative and some are quite judgmental especially if you aren't religious.

+1. Even Conservatives in California are liberal by DC standards. It’s the culture of California. Conservatives here are definitely pro-choice, pro-gay marriage and need the immigrant workers too much to kick up a fuss.

The PP is correct - OP will not be happy here. California isn’t Florida.

I recall seeing a lot of neighborhoods in San Diego and Riverside Counties with the Trump Flags, Trump Signs, and the street corner Trump Mega-fans selling Trump themed merchandise under an umbrella for shade.
