You have to understand that to a conservative, living in CA feels like dying. It's a feeling of constant intense psychic pain.

Tell them to move to Orange County. Unless there's been total demographic changes since the 1990's, they'll feel fine.

		I can confirm this. Fairly conservative family guy, love it here in OC. Not sure if due to balanced politics or apathy to politics but it’s awesome. After leaving the Seattle area where I was getting hostility from randoms on the street just for driving a Tesla, I feel at home here.
