Beautiful California. Trump, please help make California great again.

Look at the map. The state is like a fine cheese with mold (Dem votes) on its edges.

The nice thing about good cheese is that you can always scrape the mold off. Then you can enjoy it.

The biggest county in America, San Bernardino, also flipped red with nearly a 5-point margin

Looking at this year's election map of California, the coastal counties are still hopeless, but I'm encouraged by GOP performance in Southern California. It's like a return to the Brady Bunch and the 1970s.

EXCELLENT

The Lex Luther scheme might have been more visionary then we first thought

LoL I’m not a big fan of cheese myself, but love the analogy!

California is gone for the foreseeable future if they could not get their acts together and elect better leadership even after the insanity of the last 4 years.

California is unimaginably bad.

So bad that Californians have lost touch reality and become numbed and normalized to the dysfunctional.

Left California at the start of the decline when it was just a nutty liberal place so that is my fixed point of reference.

Every time I go back it just gets worse and worse.

I mean, they have homeless people living in on the street in the bus stops in front of Disney Land. How can this even be happening?

San Bernadino looks like it just came out of the war in Ukraine with burned out buildings and refugee camps of people living in the streets.

There are parts of LA that actually look worse than Calcutta slums did back in the bad old days. Not exaggerating one bit on this.

I'm waiting for the inevitable cholera or typhoid epidemic.

*sigh*

(from 2018: Typhus reaches epidemic levels in parts of Los Angeles area.)

We’ve visited Cali several times, and driven the from Oregon to Mexico. Tahoe, Death Valley, The Sierras, Yosemite, Sequoia, Coachella, San Diego, Greater LA - all of it.

Indescribable beauty and natural resources. Climate to die for.

I’ve long said we American’s have the wrong long-term strategy about Cali. Instead of fleeing to other states, we conservatives should be moving TO Cali and making the OTHER bastards flee.

Left California at the start of the decline when it was just a nutty liberal place so that is my fixed point of reference.

I left California in 2005. I think my timing was right. I haven't been back with the exception of one layover at SFO. I had enough and voted with my feet.

[rarestia]

An alternative take: they were also red in 2020. The Dems just couldn’t steal it this year.

I truly hope someone in Trump’s administration investigates 2020.

Counties switched but did the congressional districts switch?

[Pete Dovgan]

I am sorry, but California, and its laws, prevent free and fair voting, IMHO.
No ID required, ballot harvesting, and motor voter just means massive ballot fraud. California is one party rule, and that party will devastate the treasury with payoffs until it collapses.

It’s a State right to run elections, says so in the Constitution. It’s limited when it prevents democracy/republic, which California has stepped across, again in my humble opinion.

The fortunate aspect of the electoral college being state based, is that the total ‘ballot’ count is irrelevant(otherwise known as popular vote). So the ballot fraud in one state doesn’t condemn the nation.

[scrabblehack]

11 haven’t been decided yet (AP) but at this point the only one that is flipping is CA 47 (Orange County).

Laura Ingram did more than suggest we could take it.

[batazoid]

Kamala only won the states without voter ID. The contrast between red states with stringent ID laws and those without can no longer be ignored.

[Pete Dovgan]

Take what, continued one party rule? What did she suggest?

[DIRTYSECRET]

She suggested the state could turn red if Trump went to work on it.
