Let this be a reminder that there are closed-minded conservative bigots with enough people to vote them into office even in the bluest cities.

I’ve never heard of Downey, California. Is it a blue city?

I honestly don't know it well enough to say. I never really got out that way when I lived in L.A., but there are enough evangelicals in L.A. (they have made huge inroads in the Latino community) that this does not surprise me one little bit.

Hard to say. It has this somewhat retro vibe to the place, full of giant million dollar houses and even some older establishments like Big Boy's Burgers. I figure it's full of old boomers who would probably endorse something like that.
