I spent 2 years in LA in the late 70s. I remember when the south was Republican and the north was Democrat. I may be generalizing but that is what I thought.
Well somewhat.
I come from a farming family ... I’m the only one who left Ventura County. Farmers are largely in Central CA and are very Republican, As was my family. Farmers overall are Conservative and California has lots of farmers! But, they have been overwhelmed by Hispanics everywhere ... esp urban areas.
To the south of L.A. is Orange County. It used to be all Republican, mainly white and Asian but not anymore. Fewer whites and many Asians who are turning Democrat. This was addressed by Tucker Carlson lately that Dems are targeting Asians big time as they have money and are often conservative ... but that is changing.
There is NO ... repeat NO Republican presence in the state. Why is the national Republican Party not stepping in?
