Since then however, the Democrats have carried the electoral rich state since 1992. The immigration of Hispanic Americans and Asian Americans and migration of northern liberals, who tend to vote Democratic, and the flight of white, middle and upper-middle class suburbanites out of the state shifted the balance in favor of the Democratic Party.

But now it's worse as the Democrats have a super majority and an idiot governor now who will spend the surplus we have. I did not like Jerry Brown who retired, but at least Jerry was able to stop some of the wacky legislation that these liberals proposed. My big complaint on Jerry - the train to nowhere.
California and NY are lost causes as are many other states. This is not going to end well for anyone.
