Being a former resident of California, the "us" in California is become in terms of the majority of voters either liberal whites who move to California because of "lifestyle" choices, or immigrants, many of whom are sympathetic towrds socialism. In fact, the immigrants getting the vote in the 90s is what finally flipped CA into a safe Democratic state.
I did what needed to be done and left the state.
Being a 6th generation Californian I find your analysis of California demographics a bit oversimplified, but I'm glad that leaving the state worked for you.
