Bill Clinton was busy filling Cabinet positions and shaping his economic agenda when a memo landed from a team of political advisors. Although Clinton was still more than a month away from becoming president, the topic was his reelection nearly four years off.
Marked confidential and spilling over nearly eight pages, the document outlined a strategy considered vital to Clinton’s hopes for a second term: Lock down California and its generous share of electoral votes so his campaign could "concentrate its energy on other, more tightly contested, states.”
In 1992, Arkansas’ five-term governor became the first Democratic presidential candidate in nearly three decades to carry California, the political birthplace of Richard M. Nixon and Ronald Reagan. Few, if any, considered Clinton’s victory in California the start of a political realignment; he won just 46% of the vote.

Demographics is Destiny
Demography is destiny.
The entire west coast is a rotting corpse.
Ronald Reagan, for example, signed one of the most liberal state abortion laws in the country when he was governor of California — before Roe v. Wade.
We can blame Reagan, Laxalt, many other Republicans including B1 Bob, who all became squishy on border control. They rewarded millions of illegals with citizenship.
Cheap Labor Uber Alles!
I used to say that here from day one was mostly shouted down as racist
Not as much now
And the Mulford act, the strictest gun-control in the country at the time.
But still, I blame the Bushes. They THREW open the borders; that combined with the loathsome coward Republicans who didn’t give a damn when they could have done something and then turn around and whine like little girls that California is now ‘commie’ when it was THEIR doing. The GOP sold California out and then pissed (and are still pissing) on the problem they created.
De Tocqueville warned about politicians buying votes with taxpayer money. That’s exactly what Clinton did in California and it’s continuing to this day.
California was the new world then
Bright and shiny
Idealized
Hollywood and the Bay Area
It had a lot to offer
When I’m in LA it’s not how Latino it is
Isn’t everywhere now?
It’s how oriental it is?
Give me a better word for Koreans Chinese Japanese etc in east Asia and I’ll use it
ILLEGALS changed it.....they brought their CRAPHOLE COUNTRY WAYS to Gorgeous California!
The answer is simple “open borders”
The Orientals seem to be great neighbors, workers, and entrepreneurs, and are pretty darn law-abiding. The ones from India don’t seem to assimilate as well as my Chinese and Korean friends, but damn, you hire a Korean and they show up, do the job, and tend to start preparing for the job above them on day 1.
They changed the demographics of the state. It’s not as complicated as this article makes it out to be.
Millions upon millions of third-world immigrants tipped the vote left.
The techies attracted the well indoctrinated college graduates. And Hollywierd attracted the rest of the new-Blue staters.
If CA turned blue, why does Deep State need to steal its elections...? 🤔
California hasn’t been solidly Republican since the 20’s. It never again voted more than 58% for a GOP Presidential candidate after 1928. Even Nixon, a native son, barely got 55% in his landslide victory in 1972. Reagan got 57.5% in 1984, about 1.3% less than his nationwide total.
That demographic killed san fran and LA. Then they migrated north to destroy Oregon and Washington.
I hate dope smokers. I hate hippies. And liberTARDians.
