Funny how the article was presented.
Salon presented this as bad for the GOP. Sort of vindictive. Sorry Salon, but the GOP was essentially dead in California to begin with. They functioned as a check for excessive spending and taxation.
No, Salon. This is bad for California. The GOP didn’t have the ability to change policy in California, just to keep the craziness to a minimum.
Salon is acting like a rebellious teenager who just ran away from home. It feels good at first, lashing out at those who kept you in line. Free to do as you want.
Then the money runs out.
I don’t see a supermajority of RATS in nutjob California as a bad thing. They’ll go do stupid RAT stuff, ruin the state and need an intellectual bailout from Republicans.
I do weep for the citizens of that state.... They are nuts. BUT at least they’ll have to wear condoms in pornos made in California now....
You don’t get it. 40 years ago California was a bedrock Republican state. Reagan was Governor 40 years ago.
California is now a one-party communist strong hold. It only took 40 years from Reagan to solid communist state.
Well, Regan was US president 20 years ago. The US has about 20 years to go before it is solid blue due to the maturing and colonizing of the states by Hispanics.
The point is, 40 years ago we had Reagan. We stayed Republican long enough to have relatively right leaning governors in Deukmajian and Pete Wilson. Wilson’s last election was 1996, and by 2010, California is solid liberal/socialist/commie thanks to minorities.
Well, GW’s last election was 2004, that puts the USA as deep liberal/commie by about 2025.
Just as there are many conservative counties in one-party California, there will be plenty of conservative states in one-party commie USA.
The Demographics are going to bury us. The GOP is dead and by 2025, the USA will be a one-party Democrat nation. That is the jist of the Salon article, although my spin is to put dates to it, based on California’s fall.
