Get real, California has never been a Texas and Texas has never been, and is incapable of being, like any version of California.
California has always been full of moderates and social liberals, not the bible believing right wingers of Texas, there was no deep, genetic conservatism to California, that is why they fell without a so much as a whimper.
California has been very republican in it's time, but it was never right wing and full of social conservative Evangelicals.
“the bible believing right wingers of Texas”
So , living in (and from) Texas and having lived in Cali,
I don’t buy your premise.
Austin is quite like California, and get away from the “LA/SF” areas of Cali and there are evangelicals all over Cali, as many as you would find here.
You are buying into the hype.
Don’t beleive everything you’ve heard.
Quite frankly, in Fort Bend County (where I live) there are a lot of Hindus and Muslims here. We all get along okay. The people who live around me are hard working, tax paying, etc....
