The idea that California is more than lukewarm liberal has always been one of the biggest lies of American politics. The state has barely budged from its Reagan Era in terms of real public policy. The Silicon Valley sector all just put on "We love Bill Clinton" merch back in the 90s, because he was nice enough not to bust up the telecom and OS monopolies when he had the chance.
Dianne Feinstein raised the Confederate Flag over San Fransisco, practically before Harvey Milk's body was cold. Gavin Newsom's been at war with the homeless longer than George Bush has had us at war with Terror. From Duncan Hunter to Devin Nunes to Darrell Issa, the state's put up some of the most naked fascists in Congress.
California's political scene is slightly to the left of United Russia. They're as Communist as a Pinkerton at a Picket Line.
