I grew up in California. My mother and father grew up here. My grandmother grew up here. Her father and his father grew up up here. Her husband, my grandfather, also grew up here, as did his parents and grandparents.
You are mistaken when you say "California has always been one of the most liberal states in the county." It was because California was pioneered by adventurous, risk-taking CAPITALISTS with conservative politics -- people like my great-great grandfathers, both agriculturalists -- that it became such a successful and prosperous place that all the East Coast and Miswestern liberals, risk-averse people who couldn't pioneer their way out of a wet paper bag, flocked to in later years.
I’m a lifelong Californian and I agree with you. The poster you were responding to has spent the last 3 months or so on Anna Nicole threads and her intellect has been compromised.
