I’d bet if that was asked, most would respond they weren’t born in the state.

If you took out the cities of Los Angeles and San Fransisco the state would vote majority republican. There are a large number of native born Californians such as myself who vote that way. The huge influx of people from Asia and Latin America, plus younger people indoctrinated by a thoroughly leftist education system account for the change.

Many leading politicians are from somewhere else. Nancy Pelosi was born into a powerful democratic family in Maryland. Barbara Boxer was born in Brooklyn. Willie Brown came from Texas. The parents of Diane Feinstein immigrated from Poland. The parents of Kamala Harris both came from foreign countries. They feed off racial grievance in a state with a shrinking white population.
