I moved to L.A. in 1976, right after college. It was great back then...also Reagan Country. Today? not so much.
California is about 7 to 10% of it’s populace from being on the right track. If it had top level Conservatives coming to the state, say Presidents and top Congressional leaders, it could turn around in very short order.

The guy is second to none when he talks about our Founding and the men who gathered to create this nation. It’s inspiring. That’s where his talents are.
He could go to college campuses. He could appear at major halls across the state. He could even spend time with small women’s groups, and church groups.
People of every race can be reached, if the original promises of this nation, were understood. Every citizen benefits from our rights, and the reduction in the size of government. Take home more of your pay. Realize which party really does care about your community, and is willing to team up with you to reduce crime. Take note of which party wants you to succeed, so you don’t need to be a burden on society, and which party wants to keep you down so it can count you in it’s power base.
Does welfare really contribute to your eventual success?
Is it better for your family if you have a job, or if you get welfare?
Do wealthy White people have it in for you? Don’t they benefit more if you are successful and contribute to a productive society.
We have acted like Conservatism just won’t sell in California. That’s hogwash. It’s tenets will sell anywhere, if we just tell folks what they are.
