Not unless:
CA cleans up the voter rolls.
LA sees the light after the fires.
SF / Oakland have had enough of the crime and villainy.
San Diego decides illegal aliens aren’t worth the cost.
Good points. As for the first one, cleaning up the voter rolls, IMHO it matters above all else. The hand-out of social security numbers to illegals must be addressed, because an unknown umber of them used them for voter registration. Also, in California, mail-in ballots are mailed out to all registered voters, including people who’ve left the state. To stop that, each registered voter is supposed to file a notice when they move out of state, though few do.
Fixing the voter registration issue needs to take priority. My current take is that this issue isn’t as bad as ‘conspiracy theorists’ say, it’s even worse. In excess of a million votes in California.
I removed my registration when I moved out of state from California. It took about 45 minutes to find the right website and navigate to the proper button to do so.
Could it happen? It’s certainly no slam dunk, but there does now seem to be a window of opportunity. If it does happen, though, it will be no thanks to the useless Republican “establishment” here.

There is no “useless Republican “establishment” here”, just Uniparty. Harleem Globtrotters and the Washington Senators.
Even if you had a MAGA governor, would the Lefty Legislature allow the required changes?
Now there is a cold dose of reality…
At present, no. But if a modest number of Assembly and Senate districts can be flipped, Democratic supermajorities would vanish which would certainly help.
CA also has an initiative process. I believe an initiative to require voter IDs is already in the works. Additional initiatives to address matters such as the voter rolls are certainly possible with enough monetary backing. It may now prove possible to gather the needed funds.
Even some of the wealthy lefties who got burned out in Pacific Palisades might be good for a shekel or two. Having been already subjected to progressive administrative incompetence that cost them their homes, they are now being served up a heaping helping of the same obstructive bureaucracy we proles have had to put up with for decades as they attempt to clean up and rebuild. Many of them are hopping mad.
The California AG will play games with signature “verification” to make sure none of those initiatives make it on the ballot. Or if the initiative does pass, the AG will get it killed by the state supreme court or some activist Fed judge.
That’s been tried before. Gather enough extra signatures and it doesn’t work – witness Prop. 36 last year.
Once an initiative passes and becomes law, there is little or no basis for the state AG to get involved. That would not, of course, prevent lefty groups from ginning up nuisance lawsuits, but an AG has to uphold the law.
Activist Fed judges have little maneuvering room with the current SCOTUS in place. The worst of them are getting quickly slapped down for gratuitous overreach in trying to stymie various Trump initiatives.
No one with sense thinks fixing CA is going to be easy, but it is not categorically impossible either. The CA Dems have shot themselves in the foot so many times recently that they are all out of toes. And someone with no toes is a lot easier to tip over.
Well there is the weather… You can play baseball the year round, just be careful what you name the team…
The party must throw this guy

and the entire premise, under the buss then wait for it to marinate before they can recover. See Budeiser.
With the legislature that California has, it doesn’t matter who the Governor is. Things won’t change until the people want it to change and the population is divided between those with so much money they’re insulated from the consequences and those that live off the system the way it is and aren’t going to vote to end the gravy train. Let ’em have it good and hard.
