Every metropolitan state is like that. California here, it's no different. I live in the central valley apart from the major cities on the coast, it's as red as Texas out here.
Edit, this isn't an invitation to discuss how elections should work, this is an observation about individuals you're likely to find in any given region of America. More rural = more conservative. That's the pattern everywhere. Of course trees aren't conservative.
