California once voted Republican. That will never happen again. Other states - Colorado, for example - are also moving in that direction. But I cannot think of a single state that was once solidly Democrat that is now solidly GOP.
(Sorry for the pessimism. But I’m just calling it as I’m seeing it.)
Then how do you explain that Republicans now outnumber Democrats in registered voters in Florida for the first time in history ????
I think in the past you were correct, but I think that has all changed over the last couple of years...

It is an evolutionary process.
VA results were very promising in 2021.
Keep your eye on the swing states and districts in 2022. Who retires among the D’s and who the R’s can recruit to run will make all the difference.
The state-level elections will continue to grow in importance.
What about Alabama? Heavily blue until the early 2000. In 2010, the GOP ended 136 years of of Democrat control.
West Virginia. I can't think of another...
Virginia was once a solidly Democrat state. A Republican couldn’t get elected town street sweeper. The leftists started taking over the party and Virginia switched to Republican. Now wit the Second Invasion of the Northern Horde they have started the switch back to Democrat.
Now Virginia is a different case because of the proximity of the District of Corruption.
If not for Fedzilla employees moving here we would probably be a reliable Republican state.
You don't seem to know much do you?
The entire south, including Alabama, Mississippi etc were solidly Democrat before, when they instituted Jim Crow laws etc.
Today they are getting clobbered in the south.

No you are not. You are pushing Dem talking points and far left propaganda.
Texas was a solid dem state and started changing when i was a kid
West Virginia. Also, Iowa was once very purple/blue-leaning. Not so much anymore…
Do you think that's because of all the Texans and people from all points who were flooding into CA during the 50s and 60s? Or is it possible public school Marxist indoctrination centers all over the country, including CA and Texas, have been producing millions of newly minted leftist voters every single year? Is it a few people moving around causing these political sea changes, or is it our own public school indoctrination centers in every state who are producing millions of leftist voters, the main factor?
