First of all, Nevada use to be a libertarian/conservative State. But as the cost of living increased in the State of CA, many Californians moved to Nevada and many well to do Californians bought second homes in Nevada and live there for 6 months and a day to establish residency. Nevada is now made up of 37% Californians, who are mostly liberal and have changed the whole political landscape there. Plus, Nevada is a very transient State where youngsters graduating college leave to experience life outside the desert and many eventually come back to their roots. Nevada is as polarized a State as you will find, with Conservatives and Liberals in hostile confrontations daily, not just on political issues, but on social issues also. Conservatives in Nevada don't like to be questioned and liberals are constantly questioning. Plus, Conservatives in Nevada hate Californians and think they have ruined the State. In short: it makes for many hostile interactions on a daily basis.
