Democrats lose super-majority in CA Assembly (and Senate)

Republicans, who have already blocked a Democratic super-majority in the California Senate, have also succeeded in defeating a Democratic super-majority in the Assembly.

This means that the Proposition 13 protections may continue for a few more years. They are the only things enabling me to live here. Otherwise my property tax would increase by a factor of 10. Nothing is sure though. The margins are slim so the RATS only have to buy off a few Pubbies to get their measures through. But now they have to do it in both houses of the legislature

Pubbies are usually cheap.

Great news!

Our assembly woman Young Kim was elected over the Rat Quirk-Silva. This is one race the helped to stop the dimoKKKRATS. I did not think a dimoKKKRAT could be unseated in liberal California but it did happen.

As dysfunctional as california republicans are they did a legit job of obstructing the dems as the minority party up until the dems got their super majority. And things got a lot worse, fast, when that happened... This is not a huge deal as dems still overwhelm the state, but it is good news. Its like getting some morphine to treat your cancer, you are still dying, but at least you don’t have to sell your house to finance transgendered bathrooms.

Young Kim’s district is just south of mine. She seemed to have a good ground game; her signs were everywhere.

IMO the biggest hurdle for California Conservatives, is the Republican party. The Democrat party helps it’s candidates. Republican candidates might as well be speaking Martian when it comes to support in state.

Now it may be better at the local level, but for governor, unless you’re the RINO king, you get no help at all.

We need a highly visible state figure to sell Conservatism to the vast majority of citizens. You can’t sell it in small groups. Well..., yes you can, but that’s not a broad enough forum. You need the megaphone of the state level candidate, such as a Governor.

If the Conservative message could get out, Christianity included, a lot of Hispanic families would vote for the Conservative. We can sell them on family values.

Our message is whispered in California. It’s a damn shame too.

I would truly love to see my state return to a Conservative status.  I truly believe it could happen, if we sold our Conservative beliefs as effectively as the Democrats sell thiers.

My wife and I did what we could in putting out her signs in the area.
