And I looked up each candidate and sure enough they all believe in the following:
-free healthcare for everyone
-gun control that might as well be gun confiscation
-easy citizenship for illegals
-shutting down fossil fuels and going 100% clean energy
-free college
-transgender bathrooms

I doubt demographics are staying the same but are changing how they vote. It's likely that the demographics are changing significantly.

Or it has been made easier for the illegal "demographics" to vote.

The bad thing is the idiots running away from there vote that way too. They're like cancer cells migrating.

"The shifting demographics, including increasing Hispanic and Asian populations, made the open seat a top target for Democrats." "
“They’re down to 24 percent registration. And the reason is that they have a huge deficit with Latinos, with African Americans...and with Asian Americans. And they now have a deficit with whites,’’ he said. “You’re talking about a party where 77 percent of Republican likely voters in California are white. And the population that’s white here is 39 percent.”
"Currently, the number of Blacks, Asians, and Hispanics outnumber Whites in the [Orange] county, giving the Democratic Party a boost."

Let me add two more things onto why California has gone blue. One is that many red voters have left California over the last twenty years and moved their companies to other states to get away from the blue political environment.
The second is that the average taxpayer in Orange County saw a 45 percent tax increase as a result of the Trump tax deductions because of the cap imposed.
The combination of those two things tells me that more traditionally red businesses and voters will leave California for redder states in the future.
The districts where Republicans suffered heavy losses for the most part happened to be in areas with high property taxes (New York, New Jersey, California, etc.). I think the Republicans made a strategic decision to take more of the Midwest at the expense of the higher income districts across the US and in the short and long run it will pay off for them in the Senate.

Voter Fraud at its Finest

l.c.
That's a swing and a miss.
Remember when trump claimed he lost the popular by 4 million because illegals vote?
So far, after two years there have been less than 10 such people.
Repeating his lies is not convincing.
I bet you bought it when bush2 lied too. " there are wmds ", nah. " "the a q were in Iraq". He flipped on that one during McCain campAign.

The wall should have been built to separate California from the rest of the US

If they can pay for all that with only the resources of the people who live in that county, have at it.

Extraordinary $30 BILLION Budget surplus will greet incoming Cali Governor
That’s because he’ll also inherit a $200-billion plus budget that, as it turns out, is in “remarkably good shape” heading into the coming year, with nearly $30 billion in combined reserves and unexpected tax revenue, the Legislative Analyst’s Office reported Wednesday.
One reason for the analyst’s projected surplus is that spending increases will be “very low” for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that under Gov. Jerry Brown, lawmakers have sought to limit increases in ongoing spending.
Brown then turned to voters who answered by approving a ballot measure raising taxes in 2012. Voters extended that higher income tax rate by initiative again in 2016. By the time Newsom completes his first year in office, revenue from personal income taxes in California will have increased by 46 percent since 2012-13.
Income tax revenue, much of it paid by people earning $1 million or more, will account for $101 billion in the coming year, or 71 percent of the revenue that flows into the general fund. The general fund pays for the state’s share of most programs, including schools, universities, health care and prisons.
While revenue rises, California’s spending is leveling off for a variety of reasons:
Public schools, which are the biggest draw on the state budget, are experiencing declining enrollment as California’s fertility rate continues to fall.
Property taxes—the local government’s share of school funding—will generate $25.3 billion. Eight years ago, property tax revenue accounted for $13.2 billion.
Health care spending will rise less quickly, about 4 percent in the coming year. That’s significantly less than the 9 percent increase from the prior year.
“I’ll give you the asterisk now,” said Ann Hollingshead, senior fiscal and policy analyst for the LAO who along with Deputy Legislative Analyst Carolyn Chu provided CALmatters with the budget briefing. The surplus includes $14.5 billion that by law must stay in the reserve, plus $14.8 billion in a one-time revenue surge.
Perhaps Newsom’s most ambitious goal is to create a single-payer healthcare system for California. His proposal would insure both legal residents and undocumented immigrants. The version of single-payer insurance that Newsom supports would cost the state about $400 billion a year. It would likely be paid for by a hefty hike in the state’s payroll or sales tax.
Can't wait to see how this works out for California and how shareholders and private equity firms react to much higher tax burden than in say Tenn or Alabama.
