Their time will come whenever factionalism breaks the California Democratic Party in a few decades. In the meantime, a good place to start would be getting out of Prop 187's shadow and embracing Hispanics. Step up the attacks on corruption and machine politics. Put together a new plan to tackle the debt, excessive taxation and regulation, and the infrastructure deficit. There are so many struggling working class Californians who would be more receptive to an alternative than the same old Reaganomics spiel or the less inclusive forms of populism the GOP has taken to. Also, if the country starts to militarize again as I suspect it will due to a severe downturn in relations with China, be the first and loudest voice to support it. More military bases means more jobs, and that plays well with the populist angle. Double down on the Sinophobia. Californians are more progressive than most but even we'll still fall for the bait, because that's just what Americans do. Throw out some yellow journalism, watch another endless war start, watch them say they'll never let it happen again, rinse and repeat.
The key ingredient is time. Lots of time. The damage done to the Republican brand among key demographics by the Trump era will set things back, though.
