It wasn't a very long time ago that California was red.
In Presidential voting, and only through 1988.
Even then, the Legislature was consistently Democrat-controlled (in recent years, Democrat supermajorities).
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoI don’t think you remember Nixon and Reagan, or when the OC was a conservative bastion.
- DrScump 9y ago"OC was a conservative bastion" is very, very different from claiming "not long ago, California (overall) was red". Without looking it up: when do you think was the most recent time that Republicans controlled both houses of the Legislature?
- masonic 9y ago"...the most recent time that Republicans controlled both houses of the Legislature" I looked it up. The answer? 1970. And that just 1 2-year term and with bare single-seat majorities in both houses. Before 1969? Next most recent: 1956.
