In 1972, Ronald Reagan was the popular, elected governor of California.
These are very dangerous times.
Indeed.....there were very few solidly liberal states back then .
California, Florida and Pennsylvania were never "in play".
The "Left" has gotten almost 50% of votes cast in the past 2 POTUS elections.
I'm guessing that is the highest since after the Depression and this Left is far more culturally liberal then ever.
