That goes the other way too: California is more red than it appears. Reagan was governor of California, and OC has an airport named after John Wayne. The farmlands, and area around Sac can vote Republican too.
I really don't see a point in this increasing tribalism, where we attempt to sort out people into two camps and root for them like it's some kind of sports game. I think it's way more productive to focus on policies and specific issues: there are Republicans who support abortion (see: the abortion referendums in red states), and there are Democrats who don't. Reality is much more nuanced than this article implies.
Cool both sides take. One side is credibly accused of attempting to overthrow the republic.
