> I was in SV last year for a couple of months during the election, and everyone I met were all paid up members of the church of political correctness up front, but when you spoke to these people in private there were a lot of people who were secretly conservative, but "It's Silicon Valley and you can't be a Republican out here".

I guess they did not consider the voting booth to be private, as SV is one of the areas that swung towards Clinton?

Hard to say what the actual numbers are, but from the anecdotal evidence, a percentage of people felt that they had to pretend to be politically correct / leftist liberals. If you multiply any percentage, times the 80 million people in California, that's a lot of mental anguish and repression.

As long as there's food and shelter for most, things will continue as they are. First little bit of suffering, and it will explode into revolution. Normal way of things.
