Completely disagree, and u/Smith1980 's friends are right to try.
As the state's condition worsens, the red areas have to just actually use power to break up the institutional power of the cities, mostly by dissolving the cities institutions and bureaucracies. Frankly, a lot of these places could probably go red except for institutional corruption. It's just that the right doesn't know how to properly fight and conquer their opponents.
Look at Ohio and Florida. Both used to be swing states, now both are becoming blood red. The political maps in the US change, sometimes very hard. Hell, there hasn't been a "Solid South" in about 30 years, and it used to be a one-party state.
Let’s see if your friends are willing to make some sacrifices. Because things will get a whole lot worse for them before it gets any better. And even if they somehow get a Republican in California, they still inherited a corrupted shithole.
u/Dekachin was right when he said “Americans vote with their feet”.

You aren’t wrong. I guess it just seems an impossible task in California
