🔥Nice. You nailed the core driver in this type: they are strivers. They are trying to move to higher “cuuulllture”, and want to be accepted in the set. They still are never going to live around poor people or in a real black “commūnity”, but are very eager to befriend the mixed race and international immigrant lib (a parallel type that needs a coining…). This striver dynamic is well elucidated in the book Class by Paul Fussell.
I grew up in Madison Wisconsin and we had the same strivers coming from the sticks to the liberal oasis of Madison and then the Madison strivers do the same to NYC or SF or LA. Then they arrive and find the local cool kids smoking cigs and listening to red scare 😹
This is also why the Hicklibs are so enamored of Bill and Hillary Clinton. Bill Clinton is the Hicklib Apotheosis. Every hicklib dreams of being Wild Bill Clinton or the most Hilldog of Hilldogs. Never mind the obvious signs that Bill Clinton is a bastard child of Rockefeller or that Hilldog's family also has elite ties, that breaks their immersion.
I'm not from the US and thank god, I don't think we have a homegrown equivalent. That said, they do resemble the homecomers.
They are the ones who were either born in the US (weirdly, others don't do it...maybe the ones from the UK) or went there for university. Now they are back and they will redeem this nation from all it's guilt. We just only need to do what the democrats (labour if from the UK) do. That's it.
The GDP will instantly hit the same levels, everyone will be happy etc.
To be fair, if it were only this, they would be just a small annoyance(as currently stands, on the next elections the right leaning parties would get 85%). There's no one else who hate the locals more than them. After every loss they will tell you that this is the most wretched place in the world, a literal hell and we will rot in hell for this(although they don't believe in it obviously). You know that you can go back if it was that good, right?
I wonder if the West Coast hicklib is different then the East Coast ones. I grew up in LA, and the first place I encountered the real bad kind was when I spent some time in Chicago.
West coast kids are so different it’s insane. I’ve only seen these people in Brooklyn, in California they were way different in the way the completed themselves, but the basic phenomenon was the same
I think that the overal culture of the West Coast is one of being chill, kind of informal, and much more vulgar than the East Coast vibe that tends to be more art gallery + dinner party. A lot of the shitty Hollywood crap is actually banker transplants from NYC.

Dude they’re all over DC and NYC

Yeah 100% sweet coast is heavily hippie coded. The virtue signaling is hard as fuck tho, once you figure out how to spot it.
