Why does half of America vote for such horrible things?

Was California not on fire enough for the Golden State's voters?

My wife and I passed some people relaxing on their porch here in California. I wondered how long their "NO RECALL" sign would grace their railing. They are happy, I assume, that Gavin Newsom is still in office.

But why are they happy? What is so truly scary to those Newsom-supporters that they can't imagine him not being in office? Is it that without Newsom, the homeless population might go down? Is it that the tax burden might get reduced? Is it that too many hardcore felons will remain in prison? Is it that California forests haven't yet been completely consumed? Maybe health care needs to be dismantled and defunded, just like the L.A. police, and then rebuilt from the ground up. Do they like Newsom because he sees illegal immigration as the best way to accomplish that by overwhelming the state's health care resources? (My wife and I spent nine hours in the emergency room the other night, and we were disappointed that it didn't take longer.) Or maybe it's just that water shortages need to be more severe? Whatever the reason, Gavin Newsom needed a second chance to make California worse.

Let's leave ballot cheating accusations out of it. There are too many people who actually voted not to recall Gavin Newsom. I know California is its own call of the wild, but nationally, too many people also lined up to cast votes for Biden, Pal Joey, that guy from down under, that basement down in Pennsylvania. What is it about Democrats that they love what their politicians utter but couldn't care less what they do? It's as Jeremiah said: "Every [m]an's words shall be [h]is own burden," 23:36. What burden? Democrats seem not to notice

Because the majority of media have been taken over by Marxists and many conservatives think they're teaching Fox a lesson by not watching the most reliable and timely news source.

They pretend they have "more conservative" sources, when in fact they don't have the resources.

Kool aide.

These are the types who watch CNN/MSNBC and never, never, ask themselves or anyone else: “Was that true?”

Go out to a farmyard. See that cow? The one sterilized, the steer — not the useful one that makes milk. See it chewing — while it waits to be harvested?
That is the majority of the CaCaLand electorate. Many of them are my neighbors.

And, soon all of America will be like that since California leads the waaaay!

The educational establishment and the prevailing media have seen to it that the average citizen has no idea what is going on. They feed the same narrative in different guises, always with a reassuring spoonful of sugar. Remember when they began talking about “the new normal,” which meant “get used to it, this is just the way it is,” but also creating a comfort zone which leads to resistance to change and dependence on government to do the heavy lifting.

It’s more of a long, incoherent, emotionally unstable attempt to Get Back at Dad for not letting them…< fill in the blank with whatever outrage stepped on their teenage ego at the time.>

Its all about Freebies, false impressions of who cares about someone or some group, personal interests met in spite of the effect on the broader population, and then just a sense of revenge against a personality that doesn’t fit their “ ideal view “

Didn’t the Democrats vote to eliminate God and prayer in their “platform” at the D convention back in 2008 or 2012? Forget which one. They have gone over to the evil side and stayed there.

I believe it was 2012 and the chairman of the voice vote was so embarrassed by it, that he declared the motion to remove God had failed, although it was less than clear that it actually did according to posted video recordings of the incident.

Half???

By now, polls and voting stats are wholly moot. Now that we KNOW cheating and other election fraud crimes are commonplace and routine ... what the h#ll do stats mean??

It’s masks. Read DU. That’s all they want.

Masks, vaccines. And the unvaccinated to be loaded onto trains and ushered into the showers.

Why does half of America vote for such horrible things?

Because these malformed educants are Americans In Name Only, since for two or more generations the unique doctrines of United States Americanism have been excised by the educators from their syllabi that would instill its Founders ideals in the hearts of its natural and naturalized citizens.

Let me say only that in my youth and before, to seriously propose that America's genius is bad, opening your mouth in that direction would be taking your life in your hands in the eyes of the Great Generation who culminated the effort to make us the finest and best on earth, The Last Best Hope.

I stand firmly with that generation of my parents qnd their ancestors here, and detest the Alinsky/Clintonista/Obama/lapdog Biden followers and unlawfully invading parasitic foreigners who would not die to learn of true freedoms.

The “democratic” voters are hanging on to their last chance of monetary assistance from the government. That will end soon enough. That is basically it.
Bankruptcy, chaos, loss of life, then martial law, more loss of life to follow.

You ask me to leave out the cheating.. but I can’t.

Democrats don’t get elected.

That said, I see the x factor here. It’s ignorance. Not stupidity but ignorance. And it’s on both sides.

One simply doesn’t have the time to research everything. At some point we’re just turn to other researchers and then wind up believing what we want to believe. That’s called confirmation bias. We all suffer from it - at least part of the time.

Again, this is on both sides, and it’s with topics that are non-political. For instance are you aware of the current state of affairs in the us in regard to workers communication? Unless your a telecom pro, that answer is no. You only know what you are told.

Did you know that 25 breeds of corn have become extinct in the past 20 years?

As you learn more and more you’ll first become aware.. then at some point you’ll give up and understand a horrible truth : the entire planet is collapsing. Every industry, every biome and type of biome, even there sun itself is collapsing.

I was terrified for years. Now I can’t wait. All of this garbage around us we hold onto wanting to save it.. wanting to make it better..

It’s not going to get better. Letty it collapse and become part of the new paradigm.

Larry Elder was a horrible choice to push as the frontrunner in this race. And even then, the CA GOP never endorsed him.

If Elder goes for 2022, it is going to be another bloodbath.

I’m particularly amazed by Newsom. I lived in CA for a number of years, so I know they’re all crazy lefties. But Newsom and his shutdowns and mandates have been a misery to all except the elite (who don’t have to worry about any of it), yet even the lumpen Dems, so to speak, who are suffering from the shutdowns and mandates, are all behind him.

That tells me that you made up a statistic.

CA elections are pretty transparent. I receive a text when my ballot is sent out. I get another when I send it back, and a third when it is counted.
