A lot of people who don’t live here think CA is monolithically ‘rat. Certainly true of the big cities such as Sf where rat presidential candidates typically get over 90% of the vote, but not everywhere. I think in November we’re going to see school boards overthrown in areas that are not until the full sway of the libs, and at least a few seats in the Legislature. Maybe even a House seat or two. It may not sound like much, and it’s not, but by CA standards would be remarkable
Of course it is...I'm a CA native. The big cities and population centers out number rural CA probably 6 to 1. It's a done deal.
I spend a lot of time there. It’s very odd. I interact with many people that are quite agreeable and actually have reasonable opinions on many topics. They even make fun of a lot of Democrat positions. However, many still vote for Democrats! They often say it is because the Republicans are worse.
I think it there is a shift slowly taking place though. I have this prediction that one day in 10 -12 years a lot of old rich white lefty elitist ladies in California are going to wake up in shock when there is a Republican landslide comprised of black, Hispanic, and Asian candidates.
