California voted Republican every presidential election between 1948 and 1992, excepting one, in 1964. It was no liberal bastion when Reagan was governor.

The state threw three liberal supreme court justices off the CSC as recently as the 1980’s. Jerry Brown was an aberration. Reagan, George Deukmajian, and Pete Wilson were the norm. California was born as a liberal nutland in 1992, when they voted for Clinton.
