Cal is basically a blue state but its wingnuts are among the craziest and most aggressive of the entire species. Paulites, neo-confederates, creationists, isolationists, paranoid conspiracy kooks, and outright fascists all have their own flourishing compartments on the GOP crazy train.

For all I know there might even be small bands of Scoop Jackson style rational Republicans who have escaped extinction, perhaps by taking refuge with the Sasquatch in the high Sierra. I’ll have to consult the anthropological literature and see if there have been any recent sightings.
