So, I guess the West is basically a pendulum like anywhere else. The unions came in after the
"West was Won" and then secular nationalists from the Military came in the 40s and 50s and then the Environmentalists maligned the west in the 60s. From there, the Evangelicals settled in from the South in the 70s and 80s and only since then have things moved the other direction as minorities and the educated have been trying to yuppify the place since the 90s. When populations start off low and migration is high, there tends to be a lot of swings. I think that eventually the West will probably look like the patchwork of the Great Lakes where liberal Illinois is right next to consersative Indiana which is right next to ever so slightly conservative Ohio which is right next to ever so slightly liberal Pennsylvania.
