The differences are regional. CA is overwhelmingly nutbag despite the lamentations from the ex-burbs and hinterland. They need to secede. The whole state.

Problem is they might take the whole Left coast with them. OR and WA are not that far off. The ironic thing is that if CA seceded, they would become a part of Mexico in 20 years if not sooner. The libs in CA would quickly learn they are not really in control.

Even if the Libs in CA lost everything (e.g., indigenous peoples confiscate their land & wealth), they would still come back to the US and blame the Conservatives. Never themselves.

No.
Los Angeles and San Francisco are overwhelmingly liberal.
Most most of the land around it is Red.
Problem is, most of the population in the People’s Republic of California is urban.
This is true in almost every Blue state. A large urban population controls the rest of the state.
Drop LA into the Pacific and California becomes a Red state. Drop NYC into the Atlantic, and New York goes Red, too.
Atlanta and Savanah are blue tumors in an otherwise red state, but don’t have enough population (yet) to sway the entire state. If they get a little larger, though, we lose GA. Which explains a lot of Obama’s immigration policies.
