We’ll agree to disagree. In the 1950’s and 1960’s (part of the 70’s as well), most of California was conservative and could be counted on to deliver.
It probably is a lost cause now, but every once in awhile I wonder if the idiots here don’t cringe what they have done with the place.
I just don’t think that California had the deep, deep, genetic type conservatism, Evangelical type conservatism, Texas type conservatism.
It voted republican a lot, but once the true 1970s meltdown started nationwide, California didn’t have the conservative depth, or true conservative genes, the muscular, confident, conservative strength to hold up like a Texas for instance, and other Southern states, which not only pushed back, but rolled over the left.
