New Poll Shows Voters Are Tired of the Anti-Trump ‘Resistance’ – Even in Blue California

Ever since President Trump has been back in office, Democrats have been working hard to impede his success, not that you can blame them. They realize they have nothing to offer US citizens, and they have concluded that all they can do as a party is delay Trump’s obviously popular agenda. Their only success during the four years of Biden was in failing. So, they have opted for the Return of the Roadblock, starring Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, and a cast of hundreds of ignoramuses.

Leaders are supposed to offer solutions and find compromises that get things done. Democrats offer nothing but outrage and protests and people are sick of it.

From Politico:

California voters have Trump-resistance fatigue, poll finds

California voters are less keen on fighting Donald Trump than their state’s political elite.

In a dual survey of California voters and political professionals who are driving the state’s agenda, the electorate is strikingly more likely to want a detente with the White House. Voters are also more divided on issues like immigration and climate change, where Gov. Gavin Newsom and Democratic state lawmakers have asserted progressive ambitions that rebuff the president’s agenda.

A plurality of voters is skeptical of legal immigration, and less than half think the state should be able to set its own strict standards on vehicle emissions, an authority California has used for more than half a century.

The results suggest a disconnect between the policymaking class and voters in an overwhelmingly blue state where Trump made broad inroads in 2024 amid widespread frustrations over crime and a prohibitively high cost of living. Registered Democrats, however — who comprise nearly half the electorate — are more enthusiastic about progressive policies and more eager to challenge Trump’s Washington.

Ed Morrissey of Hot Air offered an explanation for this:

This might reflect the recognition by voters — even in deep-blue California — of the intellectual and moral bankruptcy of La Résistance in either iteration. The first time around, Democrats launched their “resistance” on the false claim that Trump won office illegitimately through “Russia collusion.” Voters eventually discovered that was a lie, and those who paid attention now know that the lie came from Hillary Clinton’s dirty-tricks team and Barack Obama’s FBI.

This time around, there’s no question at all about legitimacy. Trump stomped Harris in the election and won both the popular vote and the Electoral College, the first GOP candidate to do so in 20 years.

They need to open a hunting season on Molotov Cocktail throwers and maggots that trample little old ladies who drive teslas. Take out an old lady tromper and get 50 pts. 75 pts. for Molotov Cocktail throwers and 250 pts. each vehicle arson and 500 pts. for each attack on a tesla dealership. You get to buy more ammo with the points.

Short attention span. Since two generations grew up on MTV quick scene change videos, rapid gaming and then Wikipedia replacing reading books the audience wants a quick resolution or they’re bored and quit.

California is blue only on its coastal and southern edges.

That’s good, but you can use a bounty system which is simpler. Just put the left ear of the miscreant on a string and when you have a full string take that to the redemption office. That worked well when men were in charge...

They realize they have nothing to offer US citizens,

This is the primary reason behind all the noise. They care about groomers, illegal aliens, fed workers making six figures who wont go back to work, wall street, oligarchs, tech billionaires, etc.
