oh.  i see.  ty.

in case you or anyone else out there is curious…

as an example, california somewhat tends to be or has been mostly democrat (left, liberal, progressive) for a long time, but republicans (right, conservative, past-oriented) do get elected frequently in california (many, many governors of the state, mayors, legislators, council officers, etc.).

this is probably how it plays out in many places that have a ~perception~ of a “uni-party.”

many places, like california, are not at all, in reality, a uni-party state.  

people in california already do vote similarly to the suggestion of “showing defiance to the current regime” (current party in office).  five out of the last ten governors of cali were republican.  half.

also in california’s case, like in many other places one would call a “left uni-party,” it probably seems more blue/left because statistically, higher iq people trend that way, so california, in their values, culture, rhetoric, etc seems more left/blue.

it’s often (not always) a matter of voting for the lesser evil, and unfortunately, conservative thinking usually produces greater evils.  automatic contrarian decision-making processes also do not produce better results or ways of being.

rational rhetoric is boring and tediously factual.
