Where did the stereotype that liberals love apple come from?

Of all political stereotypes, this one sounds pretty stupid. What part of what liberals believe in involves Apple? The iPhone 4S is overpriced anyway. A $200 on contract Android phone would likely have LTE and/or a quad core CPU.

Save this nation from another $5 trillion debt. Mitt Romney 2012

First time I heard it so it came from you.

Because every time I go into my local Apple Store it's filled with hipster looking liberals. Not to mention, that Apple carries a "better than you" stigma which, incidentally, liberals also carry.

I'm not sure. I think it mostly comes Steve Jobs and all of his hippy causes.

Rush Limbaugh is a big fan of Apple products, by the way.

Edit for "Deep Physics": It sounds like you might have some inferiority issues to work out. Liberals do not have a "superiority stigma." That's just an impression you personally feel.

Ever been to an Apple store?

Tree huggers, feminists, computer know-nothings, and Obama supporters.

That is how this stereotype formed.

  • Why does eveyone love apple? I have a galacy s3 and almost everyone I know has an iphone. My mom has the 4s. Way worse rhan mine. Mine is easiwr to use, and I see no reason to buy iphones vs androids
  • Why do some people love to hate on Apple products? Especially guys. I know lots of guys who say Apple is overpriced and not that good. I have a macbook that is almost 4 years old and still works like it's brand new. Before I had to buy new laptops every 2 years because they became slow and these laptops cost the same as my mac. Also, I have the iPad and the Galaxy tablet and the iPad is way better. I'm even switching back to the iphone because the galaxy 4 is annoying.
  • Why do people love apple macs? I agree the iphone is great but the mac is so annoying, everyone I know really doesn't like it, you can't even right click? I'm not trying to be horrible I was just wondering ok
  • Why do people love and hate Apple? If you love it, tell why, if you hate it tell why. I own Mac, iPhone, iPad Retina and Mini and it is great for my career as an app designer. I don't understand all of the Mac Hate, they make a great product
