      These kinds of guys have been active in California since basically as soon as it was granted statehood. The Big Four (a clique or robber barons) tried to rule over the state with the wealth they built up with the Central Pacific Railroad.

      One of them, Leland Stanford (of Stanford University), actually did become governor and eventually senator.

      Another, Charles Crocker, invented Californian NIMBYism with his infamous spite fence.

        Interesting. It’s funny because California is always depicted as full of liberals, commies, and hippies by Republicans lol. Just because there was some Beatniks in San Francisco probably, and LA is a big city and those tend to go blue.
