You can also say that the last time the Republicans ran someone who wasn't a total shitheel they won California, and every other state besides Minnesota.
You mentioning Reagan made me think: If Reagan hadn't run and won, and then Reagan went on to grant amnesty to a bunch of illegal immigrants and basically kicking the "illegal immigration and border control" can down the road instead of addressing the issue, and Bush Senior riding his coattails and shitting up the Middle East during his administration I really doubt modern America would have Trump winning the presidency on platforms amounting to "remove illegals" and "remove terrorists".
But what do I know aside from the general history briefly covered in the American education system.
I don't have a very high opinion of California though, blame Hollywood culture.
I invite you to dig that hole deeper. Do explain what you mean by "Hollywood culture" and how one neighborhood of rich people manages to infect the entirety of the most populated state in the nation.
You could just say "stop posting". Yeah, I'm almost certainly over-generalizing by amounting Hollywood to all of California. Personally I don't hear much about California state politics I'd agree with, like I've heard their taxes are high, cost of living is high, and from what I have seen the populated popular cities look like a mess of urban sprawl which doesn't appeal to me. I'm sure there's nice parts of California as well, but I don't have much interest to move there or find out. Sorry if I ruffled your feathers.
