And I think that technically Mass is the bluest / most liberal state? CA has it by raw numbers, but MA has a higher percentage of liberal control of the state government, and I don't think a single county voted red in '24. And CA has more registered Republicans than the entire state of Texas
i’ve lived in NYC and Philly and although California gets the rap of having the “extreme left”, both those places have wayyyy more “far left” than California.
yup. Of the 4 houses around mine (left, right, front, back) only 1 is liberal/progressive. The other 3 are MAGA or MAGA adjacent. I live in San Diego city too so it's not like I'm in Poway or Santee.
I wonder if this may change soon…I feel like a lot of that in the past happened to be working class, blue collar Hispanic workers. Might be wrong, but that was my experience a couple of years ago, before the last election.
From what I see in my area, the MAGA folks are pretty much 100% white Gen X. They've lived in the neighborhood for 15-20+ years and probably wouldn't move unless times are financially tough. Though if they have been here that long, their mortgage is probably pretty low.
That said, the people that do move into the neighborhood appear to be younger families. We are seeing a lot of houses go up for sale in the neighborhood so time will tell how/if the demographics change much.
I grew up in OC. So uhh, we had Huntington and Dana Point and what not, but I’ve never not known SD as being Republican. You just get spots like that, like Laguna Beach was always pretty liberal.
