California has the same media, the same news and they do not buy the GOP horseshit. Even the Red and Blue counties are almost even in square miles so it can't be all urban voters. What makes Californians so much smarter politically then my native Nebraskans are? I'd love to know, because any progressive political party that's against the GOP radioactive slag heap could learn a lot from Cali.
