I agree but there's another big factor.

California is full of Latinos who are Christian and their personal view would be described as Conservative. The problem is they really don't care about politics but they love pop-culture sports and musicians and - to a lesser degree - Hollywood movie stars. These people who really don't care about politics vote the way their favorite celebrity tells them to vote because they really see themselves as good people who want to do the right thing so they do what they are told because they have been manipulated into thinking they are doing the right thing.
