I do robotics in Northwest Florida (much less Florida Man, much more "Basically Alabama"). Trump is coming to our city tomorrow. The rally will have high turnout. There's also going to be a high turnout of protestors.
As others have mentioned, your views on these areas seem a little colored by the actions of the vocal/vitriolic minority. It's the exact same mentality as the view that everyone in tech in Cali is a douche-nozzle tech-bro. Patently false.
Just because an area leans one way or the other doesn't mean that you can't find like-minded people. But that's also a little insular, I think. In fact, I think it's healthy to have a mix. Living somewhere that everybody thinks and feels the same is how you end up with the legendary SV "Echo Chamber" that the world decries so vehemently. It's okay to occasionally meet someone you disagree with. I'm not right leaning at all but I know plenty of people that voted for Trump who aren't racist jerks and who I am perfectly comfortable to call my friends.
