Active duty Army here, since 2010. My wife has had to come along with me to Georgia, North Carolina, Hawaii, and now Maryland.

Georgia & NC are places we don't look forward to going back to, no offense ya'll. But we had some incidents. My wife was scared out of her skin while I was on duty; a Bubba-style 'deputy' pulled her over, ragged on her about being from California, and tried to find any possible thing he could charge her with. No luck, a-hole. Another charmer was our real estate agent, I kid you not, who couldn't simply rent us a condo without going on and on about hating California. What an idiot! I had to bring him back to earth with some of those dreaded 'facts'.

And don't even, people, get me started about the 'war of Northern agression'. They shut that noise down pretty quick when I pulled up the southern states' declarations, with the language about slavery etc.

I also tossed in how the southern states were manipulated into secession to weaken the U.S.

So, you're going to find those people. But apparently, you can find plenty of them working at Tesla in the bay area. There's an element everywhere you have to be prepared to deal with.
