Over the last four years and as we’ve approached this year’s fiery election season, the so-called silent majority — the one that elected Trump in 2016 — has only grown larger. And less silent. I know this because I am one of them. And I live in California, where the big question is — in the most divisive and uncertain election in decades — can the Trump train actually cross the border into this most leftist of states? If the recent uptick in MAGA-love popping up in areas notoriously drenched in blue is any indication, we just may be in for something a little different next Tuesday.
If you’ve been paying attention, you’ve seen it. Trump rallies and boat parades have been lining the streets of the rich and famous here in Southern California for months – Beverly Hills, Sherman Oaks, Marina del Rey, and Newport Beach (to name a few), have seen no shortage of MAGA hats and Trump flags flying high, bringing unity between people of all colors, creeds and walks of life seeking to save the future of our beautiful state and country.
But on the morning of October 6, a group of men took this effort to a whole new level. Atop a hillside along the ever-busy 405 freeway in the heart of West Los Angeles, they erected five 20’ tall letters, literally putting TRUMP in the backyard of California’s most progressive and elite. It was a sight that would make any true blue California democrat shake in their boots but spoke loudly to those who have no voice in the “one party state”. It was covered extensively in the local and national press with news footage garnering millions of views on Twitter.
Wow. The group that installed that 405 freeway TRUMP sign has come forward with a pro-Trump campaign video and IT IS 🔥. Could @realDonaldTrump flip California? pic.twitter.com/qrTEN3z0jX

According to group insider “Mr. Black”:
“The sign served two purposes. It was a psychological warfare operation designed to counter the psychological warfare that Newsom, Garcetti and the Democrat-run California government has been running since the lockdown. Putting the word “TRUMP” on a hillside over the 405 — itself a symbol of beauty, aggravation and dysfunction — was intended to let the progressive elite of Los Angeles know that dissidents — MOTIVATED dissidents — live among them.”
He goes on to say:
“It was also a signal to the war-weary AMERICANS here behind enemy lines that they are not alone. That they are on the side of fun and energy. And that they should GO OUT AND VOTE (for Trump, if that wasn’t clear).”
Never in my lifetime have I seen the likes of this in Southern California – the state in which I was born and raised. In California, people assume you are part of the liberal hive-mind. And if you’re not, you surely are not loud about it.
But there is something new in the air. If you were to ask four years ago if Trump would win California, that question would be so outrageous it would hardly deserve a reply. But this year, this moment in time, is too important to let passively pass us by. And it seems that California is finally starting to understand that.
People are speaking up against the blatant intolerance and violence of the California Left and shoving their faces in the reality that there is an America-loving faction among them. We, the people of Red California, are finally showing power in our numbers. And one-by one we are awakening those curious enough to ask “why.”
So, can Trump win California?
In a state that glimmers with possibility and success – home to Hollywood, Disneyland, gorgeous coastlines, vast farmland, and skyscrapers and forests alike; in a state who’s history is rooted in gold, sunshine and an abundance of dreams, it should come as no surprise that those dreamers, those seeking to revitalize the happiness and prosperity this state has always promised, have set their sights on achieving the “impossible” once again. And as Trump, himself, has said, we should “treat the word IMPOSSIBLE as nothing more than MOTIVATION.”
If a small team of men can send an “impossible” message to the heart of leftist Los Angeles, imagine what an army of them can do with a simple vote. If you are as motivated by this as I am, if you are a proud California native who wants to see this state return to what it once was, if you’re an out-of-stater shocked by the discrepancy between the promise and the ugly reality of modern California, I pray you garner everything you’ve got to get out and vote. Together, we can achieve the impossible. I’m sure of it.
No. But a good Republican turnout could flip several House seats back to the GOP.
Probably not this time.
But what we need is get back some of the congress seats and reduce the difference in popular vote. Maybe get rid of the Dem dominance in state politics, to get Reps at least some voice in Sacramento! Republicans in CA seemed to be totally demoralized. Let us hope they will start to recover!
I think California may turn red in a revenge election. Given what Californians have had to put up with; insane taxes, riots, rising crime, prison planet lock downs, apocalyptic forest fires, and rolling blackouts. The average Californian is ready to snap and take it out on the Democrats who have been giving them the shaft good and hard. When they get in that ballot box all alone they are going to be thinking, “Who pays for this sh!t sandwich that I have been forced to eat?” and there are really no Republican office holders to blame, just Democrats.
Yes there is a possibility. Has no one ever looked at the county map of CA during elections? There are more conservatives here than one may think. And this election seems to have alot more Trump flags out there than his first election.
And remember, in Trumps first election Trump got more votes from CA than any other state. As a matter of fact CA had to put their fraud machine ointo overtdrive just to tip the popular vote for the nation. I think the last estimate I heard was upwards of 850k fraudulent votes in CA that election. Can they get away with over a million this year?
Don’t know about California, but something interesting is happening in New York and New Jersey. Mail in ballots are crimping the usual Democrat fraud operatives in New Jersey. In Democrat urban strongholds they would simply take over voting stations, pull the levers. In some cases 900 votes would be recorded for Democrats 10 or 20 for Republicans and only maybe 100-150 actual voters were recorded entering the precinct all day. In NJ a statewide Republican candidate normally needed 55-57% of the actual vote to win to overcome the fraud. This year it may be down to 52-54%.
That would be nice, but I live in California, and I can assure you that there are one hundred liberal idiots for each conservative voter.
Yes, it’s a bit exaggerated. Regardless, Rs are vastly underrepresented here.
I remember a Don Henley concert at Irvine Amphitheatre (IIRC) in the early 1990’s and after the first few songs he started spouting his liberal b.s. Everybody booed. He took a step back and said, “Oh. Orange County”. He then shut up and sang.
Yes, and some probably are moving away. Is that what you see?
Could hell freeze over? Na. That would be epic. But, na.
Y E S . W E. C A N . F L I P . C A L I F O R N I A!!!
I’m in Orange County, which is pretty much the most conservative place around, so what I see doesn’t reflect voter attitudes statewide. I wish I could tell you more.
We weren’t supposed to win MI, WI, PA, OH, and NC in 2016, but we did. Never say never.
I’m so glad Trump sees anything as possible! I’m also glad he doesn’t have some of you people as advisors. You’d have him believe everything is a “lost cause.”
No. I live here. Not a chance in Hell. The hatred for Trump will keep them living in a cesspool for the foreseeable future.
Getting back those Orange House seats will go a ways toward unseating Pelosi as Speaker. I’d love that!
He’ll break 40% here.
That’s a major accomplishment.
How many Californians are deep cover out of fear and constant social pressure that feel that leftists are evil little sh!ts and are just waiting to shaft them in the privacy of the polling booth?
They’re also sick of the homeless bullcrap and the catering to them
Liberals are elite snobs. Nothing more.
