When he was born California was a big Republican state. Even Jerry Brown’s father was a Republican back then. So a lot of people in California were Republicans without being conservatives.

Didn’t know that. Thanks for the history lesson.

Yes, I remember. I lived in LA back in the late ‘60s.
Nixon was from CA, Reagan too.
Of course, so was Pete Wilson and The Terminator.
Here’s a little Gee Whiz item;
The first transcontinental telegraph message sent was from California to Washington DC, in October of 1861, letting the Lincoln Administration know that California was taking the side of the Republicans (Union) in the Civil War. That telegraph was a big deal. Until that October, it took six months minimum to send a message to California and receive a reply. That telegraph united east and west, and also established California as a Republican state. That’s how far back the California republican’s history goes.
Democrats have destroyed the once great state, and California’s massive decline is a warning to the rest of the country.
One difficult but sure way to recover the state is to deport the illegals back to Mexico. Won’t happen short of Armageddon, though.
