Around World War II the queers in the military that got kicked out were too ashamed to go back to their home towns across the country and settled in San Francisco. The rest is history.

What is so liberal about California? The state alone is in the top ten world's economy. If it wasn't for the big city thinkers from California the US as a whole wouldn't be a military or economic superpower it is today. San Francisco is very nice and would be an awesome place to live. The standards that are in place is what keeps that city nice.

I have been told that Kalifornia was conservative until after WWII, after that many who served in the war settled here and brought much Leftism with them. I personally do not know very many native born Kalifornians that are Leftists, they are almost always an import. I wonder if these people were kicked out of their home states and migrated here?

The last time that the State was truly Republican was in the 1950s when the Governor and one of the Senators were of that party.
When the population was growing, large expenditures were made for infrastructure - the university, state colleges, schools, acquaducts, roads. The following concept was ignored - "sinking fund". A sinking fund is a fund into which a small amount of money is placed, year after year. When an improvement like sewer system, a road or a building wears out, then the money is there to replace the same. The City of Los Angeles has not repaved a road in years. Yes, it puts down slurry. That is it. When the sewer system was adversely affected by an earthquake, repairs were delayed about 8 years until federal funds were made available. When the Los Angeles County central hospital wore out, there was no money in a sinking fund to build another. So the answer is that the State started its downturn as it was expanding. If you build a dam and then don't put money aside to dredge behind the dam and make repairs, well you get the picture. When you have an expanding population and borrow money through bonds to build the schools, you should put money aside to replace the same. The school districts do not do this. So, when LA City lost 100,000 elementary school students two years ago, you would expect that you could close schools or build new ones. Instead, no money was put aside. So, now we have a 1 billion dollar plus campus coming on line - financed by bonds. I know that this is not the answer you wanted. |

during the great bean famine in texas during the 1970's. the liberals couldn't adjust to eating chili without beans and moved to california. the conservatives stayed in texas and adapted to eating chili without beans. after the bean famine ended they decided that the cost of going back to beans in chili would be too great if another famine occurred, so to this day they don't put beans in their chili and hide their love of of it through their hatred. |

Wonder what would happen to Cali if you took out the federal ports, the nationwide cinema industry, nationwide music industry, and the military. The problem with calling cali "en economy unto itself" is that it isn't unto itself. Its like NY/NYC. Yeah, they get big bucks from Wall Street and trading firms, but not much else comes from NY. Same with Cali., most of their economy is national economy funneled into Cali because thats where those particular business' reside.

I remember there being a lot of rednecks back in as late as the 80's. We used to joke that there were more rednecks in CA than in TX. It was even well represented in the country music.
Of course I didn't actually live there, but it was the impression I had. I sure don't have that impression now. |

Californians have learned they can get lots of stuff for free. Free income from military bases. Free electricity from the Pacific Northwest dams. Free education for it's illigal immigrants. You get the picture.

Just after the gold rush on the mid 1800's.
Probably the main date in question would be the 1960's, all the scum sucking hippies flocked there by the 1000's from all the other states. It was never as "perfect" as Hollywood made it seem. Oregon would have been a much better place if Gov. Tom McCall had been able to build that wall between Oregon and Cali too. |

California has been a statist paradise since at least the '70s. I recall seeing ads in magazines for wrist rockets and Jivaro blowguns with the "can't ship to California" advisory in the ad. That was before the queers, mestizos and negroes rose to prominence in state government.

My impression is that the movement leftwards started in the 1950s as a result of imports and not native Californian citizens. That is when leftists from other parts of the country started moving there in large quantities and when the hispanic population started to grow rapidly (before it was pretty small, as surprising as that sounds, and most Californian hispanics were of Spanish descent and had deep roots here), hispanics generally being leftists (especially the working classes which is what mostly started moving here). The shift was complete by the 1970s from what I can tell. When I was born this place was already very leftist (1980s).

We got all the fruits and nuts from the East Coast starting in the late 1950s. Back then things were relatively cheap, land and jobs plentiful. Now it is an outhouse. When I was in grade school in the 1960s, things were still pretty normal, and conservative. By the time I started HS in 1976 it was a whack-job wonderland. I swear most of my HS teachers were former flower children––except Coach De Bondt––ex-Marine aviator. Rest a bunch of poofters. |
