Conservatives are more tribal, and will vote favorably for "their" states and unfavorably for "liberal" states with more consistency than liberals. Hence conservatives' like of Texas and dislike of Cali shines through, while a liberal would probably think that there are some things to like about Texas and dislike about Cali, and get washed out in the data.
