True, what I haven't seen posted on this thread is that almost all Californians came from practically every other state in the Union, or from overseas.
Therefore, one could conclude that CA got polluted into a socialist sewer it is by all those folks moving here from other states.

Yep. I watched it happen. People don't change, demographics do. Prior to Clinton-Bush in 92 California was the most reliably Republican electoral block going back 50 years (with one exception).
Watch old Dragnet reruns. That's the California of my youth. Cops were respected, hippies were reviled outcasts and Reagan was in charge.
