Much of this is due to demographics.
California is Hispanic majority or close to it. Same thing is happening in Texas, Arizona, Colorado — all were red states now turning blue due to demographic changes.
Many of the millions of CA illegals’ had anchor babies (which instantly became citizens) that are now voting age. We will see this shift from red states into blue that each year have higher and higher Hispanic populations especially with high illegal populations that previously had millions of anchor babies.
Sadly, I think the Republican Party is doomed in this country. The democrats and their corrupt media control our culture and thus control the narrative which is that any R is a white supremacist, anti-immigrant, knuckle dragging ignorant unredemable deplorable. Too many Rs are wimps and too afraid of the powerful hate mongering and personal attacks the Dems are so proficient at to stand up for the policies we need — thus we ended up with Trump who being a bullying narcissist DOES have the courage to stand up to the Dems and expose them, but the positives he achieves are lost because of his juvenile behavior.
Another problem with Trump being a bully is he has Republicans in office afraid of his way of lashing out and they stay quiet and don't check him when he is wrong.
This shows people that they don't give a hoot about them when it comes to keeping their jobs or getting belittled by our president. The only ones who seem to speak out against him when he is wrong are those republicans who are leaving office.
Assuming that Democrat T.J. Cox holds his lead over incumbent Republican David Valadao in CA-21, in the 2018 election, California Republicans lost 7 of their 14 seats.
All of the purple areas that voted for Hillary in 2016 was lost. Prior to this election, Republicans represented 26% of Californians; now it's down to 13%.
Before the 2018 election, the average voter in a Republican held California House District earned $$65,634 per year, above the state average of $63,783. After the election, the R held district voter annual income drops nearly $5,000 per year, the average educational attainment drops and the percentage of non-Latino whites increases.
In short, Republicans in California have been reduced to their core supporters, dominant in the most rural, poorest and desolate areas of the state.
California, the only state in the union where the state government allows entire towns to be burnt to the ground. No thanks, I'll stay far away from that giant disaster movie called California.
By all means please do stay away. We don't want you out here either.
Or maybe many of the upper income republicans are moving elsewhere?
Conservative California families of other income levels are moving to Oklahoma. So Oklahoma is not a highly undesirable state to move to for everyone. (The state has the 2nd lowest cost of living for one attraction.) An example of one family who has moved there:

Oklahoma isn't for everyone. I could live there if offered a job there. However, there are still alot of problems in Oklahoma. Oklahoma has one of the highest violent crime rates in the USA. Oklahoma has one of the highest rates of rape in America, as well as a relatively high murder rate.

I can deal with the tornadoes. And northern California just had a devastating wildfire. Not much can be done about mother nature anywhere. California has wildfires, Oklahoma has tornadoes. Oklahoma, however, has more problems with crime than alot of people would guess. Not many people would guess that Oklahoma has one of the highest rates of rape in America. Not many people would think that Oklahoma has the 14th highest murder rate in the nation. Or that conservative Arkansas next door is even worse, ranking 5th in the USA for murder.
