“...the growth of Catholic and non-Protestant voters which turned California into a permanent blue state.”

You name Catholics but don’t specify Jews, Muslims and Asians-just “non-Protestant voters”?
Yep, I’m Catholic and an immigrant to Texas. Lots of us here and plenty conservatives...
The Catholic vote has grown much in California, and moved it left as the Protestants no longer dominate the vote.
For example 2004, a year in which California had strong pro-life issues on the ballot.
