I am so happy I don’t have to travel to California for business anymore.
It was pathetic that Newsome celebrated the prop 50 win as if it was ever in doubt. CA hasn’t had a fair election in decades.
The urban elites believe nobody can speak but themselves. It’s the idea of Bolsheviks. Shut the voices from those who oppose them.
In a way, this is exactly what the Founding Fathers intended. Each state was meant to be sovereign — free to make its own laws and govern itself according to the will of its people. That’s the essence of our federal system.
This is what democracy produces: winner takes all. When one party dominates, its vision shapes the state. We may not agree with the government California voters have chosen or the policies they enact, but it remains the right of those voters to decide their own course.
What still sets the United States apart is that we are a union of states, not a single, centralized authority. If the governance or values of one state no longer align with our own, we retain the freedom to move to another that does. That mobility — both political and personal — is one of the great safeguards built into the American system.
They don’t just hate Trump, they hate everyone who would even consider voting R. I’m firmly convinced that the left would be happy to see the likes of me rounded up and sent to camps.
Generally decent article, but this statement not so true:
“Democratic dominance in California’s cities and counties is equally absolute.”
Plenty of counties (26 out of 58) voted “No” on Prop. 50, and a vast land area voted for PDJT:

5.6 million Republicans in CA w/o adequate representation (taxation w/o representation).

One year from now the Democrats will control both the House and Senate and undo everything Trump has accomplished. And the fake republicans will help them override Trump’s vetos.
When honest elections are forced on California’s governing elites, we’ll know the true extent of the hate. End the filibuster and make it happen.
I’ve got a step sister that grew up and went to school here in North Florida.....after obtaining her nursing degree in the 80s she decided to move to northern California for some reason.
A couple years ago she was planning to come back for Thanksgiving but told the family she wouldn’t come unless everyone in attendance at Thanksgiving dinner wore a covid mask.
Of course none of us agreed to that so she didn’t come.
She also gets drunk and calls my stepmother and step brother to rail against President Trump.
That is an example of the absolute insanity of many people in California.
Conservatives can wring our hands over what California did or the Virginia AG election and cry about how horrible it is and how “hate” won. But we better have a response. This is what the Left will do if they dominate the politics of a state. No rules, no mercy. Just raw power to beat their opponents into submission. Crying about it may give us some moral comfort but it won’t stop the Left.
California’s population is diverse, with no single racial or ethnic group making up a majority. ***The largest groups are Latino (around 40%)***, followed by White (around 34%), and Asian (around 16%). Other groups include Black or African American (around 6%), multiracial (around 3%), and American Indian/Alaska Native (fewer than 1%).
Free things from the tax payer is the democrats plan that works.
I would laugh my butt of if the Supreme Court stuck it down on some technically while letting the redistricting in places like Texas stand.
it is genuinely amazing just how brainwashed and disassociated some on the left are
they actually believe their bs (and are apparently incapable of reasoning their way to any more realistic understandings)
it is, as has been observed, a severe mental illness (a deliberately induced and inculcated one, to be sure)
When does the civil war start?
I need more ammo!
California needs to be split into two states. Everything West of the Coastal Range and N of Orange County would be leftist W California..or San Angeles. Everything else would be centrist or slightly conservative E California. Don’t know what they would do with Sacramento.
In California, Hate Won Again
Misguided, constitutionally low-information voters in the whole country with too much voting power (17th Amendment) keep reelecting the same worthless celebrity career lawmakers of the constitutionally limited power (hint), unconstitutionally big federal government who obviously couldn't care less about doing their constitutionally enumerated duty to guarantee each state a republican form of government.
Article IV, Section 4: The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government [emphasis added], and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.
So why are oppressed voters of renegade states (California, Illinois, New York, etc.) that have been pirated by corrupt politicians being singled out as Trump-haters, especially since Trump hasn't yet finished his mission of restoring voting integrity.
President Trump On 2020 Election Fraud: “We Now Know Everything!” (10.26.25)
Gerrymandering for example, should be regarded as blatant evidence of Democrats rigging an election imo, a violation of Section 2 of the 14th Amendment if such is the case imo. That section is a penalty for states where voting integrity has been compromised, but is wrongly being ignored imo.
Note the zero tolerance, "hair trigger" wording of that section which federal and state governments, under the boots of the corrupt, constitutionally undefined political parties, are evidently ignoring imo.
But when the right to vote at any election
is denied to any
or in any way abridged,
Section 2: Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election [all emphases added] for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State. [Apportionment of Representatives]
Here is third party opinion that both state and federal governments are wrongly ignoring Section 2 imo.
No serious effort was ever made in Congress to effectuate § 2, and the only judicial attempt was rebuffed.2 , cert. denied, 328 U.S. 870 (1946). —Apportionment Clause
The Section had long been dead. But there are two camps of legal scholars who wish to revive it. The first consists of those who would like to see Section Two enforced to punish states that abridge their citizens’ right to vote, especially in the wake of Shelby County v. Holder. Recently, Joshua Geltzer, the executive director at Georgetown’s Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection and the former senior director for counterterrorism at the National Security Council, added himself to this camp. The second camp is using Section Two, which distinguishes on the basis of gender, as evidence that Section One’s Equal Protection Clause does not prohibit gender-based discrimination. Jonathan Mitchell spearheads this movement. —The Worrisome Ghost of the Fourteenth Amendment’s Second Section
Note Thomas Jefferson's advice against ignoring parts of the Constitution.
The general rule [is] that an instrument is to be so construed as to reconcile and give meaning and effect to all its parts. --Thomas Jefferson to -----, 1816. ME 14:445
