The western states are socially conservative and individualistic.
Back in the 1940s, the Republicans were actually more socially liberal, because most Catholics at that time were staunch Democrats, and the church exerted much more control over its congregation then than it does now.
As the Democratic party became more identified with social liberalism in the 1960s, those states became more firmly Republican.
