AL voted 30%+ for Hillary. I doubt you had 30% Googlers feel comfortable declaring affiliation with Trump or Republicans in general.

Carter won in '76 and it's been within +-10% R/D till 2000. So not that lopsided as you might suppose.

The Bay Area voted overwhelmingly Democrat in the last election. Your doubts about having 30%+ Googlers declaring affiliation with Trump is right: there's no way it could've happened. Just not for the nefarious reasons you want to suggest though.
