My own father recalled the WWII Internment of the Nisei--Immigrants from Japan--from the perspective of a San Fernando Valley car dealer, complete with service and gasoline for sale. Many might have thought he ghetto-level Baptist after all(?)! His father had helped vote the Valley into City of Los Angeles in 1915, March 29, about 900 total votes cast, for and against. Grandpa had also been friends with Mulholland, who brought the water. His father had been property owner in Texas, before there even were Republicans.
People still knew one another. "Media" was heavily service organization newsletters, along with radio, movies that talked, and animated features. The West Coast was far away from the European War, and actually far away from Japan. The Nisei became war victims, at any rate. A car dealer could get their vehicles for $0.10 on the fair market value dollar. My father said he had offered paid fair market value.
Some things you cannot take with you, from this life(?)!

My grandfather was a Who's Who Democrat, so his boy a New Deal Democrat. The New Deal was being supported. California would only become Republican-free mostly in the early part of the next century. Republicans in California would be considered progressive, however. Governor Earl Warren would become Chief Justice of the Supreme Court At RNC, that even set up a string of Republican fund-raising campaigns, calling for his Impeachment(?). RNC is still like that, even now!
California has had its sordid reputation in the past.
"Crow: James Crow: Shaken, Not Stirred!"
(Army V. McCarthy would soon happen, too, when even TV was not to be considered a hand-held device!)
