(6,390 posts)Should have never forced out Katie Hill when you have people like Gaetz running around.
It's a very purple district, Knight was tossed out because his lips were attached to Trump's posterior. Garcia runs more along the lines of independent (despite goose stepping with the GQP). And apparently he has more funding, seen a couple of commercials against Smith and haven't seen much for Smith.

(9,773 posts)But it has not always been good. We had a succession of absolute creeps, you know their names. In short: Nixon, Reagan, Dukemejian, and so on.
Ultra-conservative "think tanks" are located here, notably the Claremont Institute and the Hoover Institution (at or near Stanford), and of note: The John Birch Society started here.
Now, as shown below, these were part of a trend that has reversed itself in CA, and in 15 years (from a date hopefully 15 years ago) will again sweep the naition.
The rich and privileged will aways vote conservative, and now that there is no more conservative cause, only fascism, they follow the nazi/Putin line. If this is confusing, follow the references below, which I promote now and then.

That said, I agree. It is wacko, and since the new demographic is HERE, NOW, the future of America is HERE and NOW.
