Newsom touts victory over recall as rejection of 'Trumpism'
The Hill ^ | 09/15/2021 | Max Greenwood

Posted on 09/15/2021 6:10:58 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

California Gov. Gavin Newsom took a victory lap on Tuesday after voters rejected an effort to recall him from the governor’s mansion, casting his win as a rejection of “the negativity that’s defined our politics in this country over the course of so many years.”

In remarks delivered in Sacramento minutes after he was declared the winner of the recall election, Newsom said that with his victory, Californians had voted to safeguard democracy, taking a swipe at his main Republican opponent, conservative radio host Larry Elder, and former President Donald Trump, who had raised baseless claims of fraud ahead of the Tuesday vote.

“Democracy is not football. You don’t throw it around,” Newsom said. “It’s more like an antique vase. You can drop it and smash it in a million different pieces. And that’s what we’re capable of doing if we don’t stand up and push back.”

No doubt, Newsom’s “Thank You” cards to Dominion were mailed out last week. The path we’re on seems unchangeable. Almost.. as if it were destiny.

Expect now for the MSM to blab about how much money the Republicans wasted on the recall.

Trump lost both elections by several million votes. Nothing changed.

It’ll be that ratio when more people leave the state over the next few years.

Truly conservative Californians, there are other states who need you!

Georgia and North Carolina are being infested with Northeast liberals—your vote in these states will help immensely. Also true in Texas and Florida, although these states can stand up to the onslaught better.

Virginia was lost to us and could use reclaiming but that’s a big project. We also need more conservatives in the following states:

Pennsylvania
Minnesota
Wisconsin
Arizona
New Mexico
Montana
Nevada
Colorado
New Hampshire

Consider moving!

It has to be about President Trump. Without him, the media and Newsom have no boogeyman. No one to focus on. They’d have to start looking for something g and that might lead back to him.

It’s going to get worse and worse, they’ll “win” the midterms, Biden or Harris will “elected” again, they are going to oppress us more and more with their BS, China will be ruling everything and there’s going to come a point where we have to choose: Do we live under tyranny for the rest of our lives or do we take up arms against our own government? How can we when the military has proven that they will take the side of these domestic enemies? I was absolutely disgusted how the national guard snapped to it when Pelosi demanded they “protect” the Capital. 2020 was an obvious stolen election, and they violated their oath of enlistment to protect and defend the constitution.

It’s obvious that Kalifornia’s election system is corrupt and the democrats own it all. They have clearly demonstrated how communists change the laws so they can’t ever be displaced from public office unless the election laws are changed that secure election integrity. Kalifornia is lost and will continue leading this nation in its collapse of Capitalism and freedom.

“But the ones that can, move. Bring that BS to wherever they go and start the ruination of the next place.”

I know, liberals are incapable of acknowledging their voting habits create the misery. They see themselves as just too good, too smart to ever be wrong.

I hate them.

I always knew deep down Elder could not win in California. Sure, he mobilized the Republican base more than Faulconer would have, but he also mobilized the Democratic base against him. In a state where Democrats outnumber Republicans 2:1 that proved to be a fatal error. The Republican base was always going to vote “Yes” on the recall. The Democratic base turning out for an off-year election was always far less certain. You work with the electorate you have, not the electorate you wish you had.

If it’s any consolation to my fellow Californian Freepers even if Elder had won he would have been obstructed at every turn by the Rat supermajority in the state legislature.

Yes.

I think they are trying to provoke us. They want us to react, so that they can crack down and have total control.

On the other hand, if we try to “be smart” and say “Oh, I’m not falling for that trick! I won’t help you justify the clampdown! You can’t provoke me!” The end result of that is that they push and push and push and just get 100% of what they want.

Not a good situation.

It is not a rejection of “Trumpism”, it is a rejection of all that makes up the spirit of the Great American Experiment, by a number of malefactors of great wealth that reside on the West Coast, and form the nucleus of what passes today for the California Democrat party, more properly known as the Californian Democrat Socialist party.

They have their hands on all the levers, and they are twisting them in the exact opposite direction to which they were meant to be moved. All “scientific”, doncha know.

Ain’t fraud by mail wonderful.

It seems like every time the GOP loses an election now the cries of “voter fraud!” ring out, with very inconclusive evidence to support them. Heck, it is now September 2021 and we’re still waiting on the Maricopa County audit results from the 2020 election. Did the Rats really need to resort to voter fraud to win in California, where Republicans have a hard time getting elected dogcatcher? And why would they run the risk of getting caught if the demographics and the major players in the state were all on their side anyway?

The CA GOP has no one but itself to blame on this one. We are the party of personal responsibility; it’s time we started acting like it. Crying “voter fraud” after every election loss, including those we were going to lose anyway, just makes us look like sore losers and makes the middle-of-the-road voter tune us out when there actually is voter fraud against us.

I fully expect Newsom to crack down on the state with mandates in the next few days.

There was also a LOT of voter fraud going on.

Newsom ran on attacking his opponent and tying him to Donald Trump - instead of his own disastrous record.
