What made California blue?

LSD proliferation

DEMOGRAPHICS.

CALIFORNIA WHITES ARE REPUBLICAN.

THE VAST MAJORITY OF IMMIGRANTS FROM INDIA, EAST ASIA, AND MEXICO MOVE TO CALIFORNIA.

CALIFORNIA IS ONLY 32% WHITE.

Population Density. When that many people live in a small space, things like property and individual rights give way to notions of "we're in this together". There are more complex issues at hand, but I believe this is at its core when you boil it down to its simplest factor.

When you get into surburban and rural California, there are a lot of conservatives.

I will take a stab at it, even though I am not from California. So, take this with a grain of salt.

You could point to many things Hollywood, Tech Boom, huge agriculture state etc.

But, I believe that the passing of Proposition 187 in 1994 was the main catalyst. That to me sealed the republicans fate and tied their "politics" to the bill. Gray Davis (Dem) ran his entire campaign off opposing the proposition. This hurt Repubs in California for a lot of reasons, mainly (IMO) because the growing population of residents that identified as Hispanic.

What was it that caused California to go from consistently voting Republican for 24 years, to being bat-sh*t, nut-wagon, Cucksville Liberal?

Actually, California in he post war period up until 1992 was one of the most reliably Republican states in the country. They voted for Eisenhower twice, Nixon three times, Reagan twice HW Bush one and Ford once and prior to the Depression it was a very reliable Republican state.

The problem came in 1992 with Clinton running and Perot running. The vote got all split up and then coupled with demographic changes started to change the voting habits. But the real problem came right after when Pete Wilson, the Republican governor of the state backed Prop 187 which basically had California cutting off access to drivers licenses, public schools and other services to illegal aliens. That alienated a lot of Hispanic voters in the state who were up until then fairly split down the middle which gave the advantage to Republicans.

187 actually passed statewide in California by a 60-40 spread....but the libs kept filing lawsuits and restraining orders, etc. and by 1999 the demographics had changed and the PR against the Orange County Republicans had succeeded in making Republicans a very distinct minority electorally.

While that may have played a part, amnesty added several million new potential voters into the mix, and over time that number has just continued to grow. No state population can endure that in a relatively short period of time and expect their voting demographics to remain the same. It was a self inflicted wound the Republican Party will never overcome in Cali.

Decades of institutional indoctrination at the colleges there combined with Mexicans and asians.
