As you no doubt remember, the far-left in California was attempting to reinstitute racial discrimination with Proposition 16. Billionaire oligarchs had contributed about 20 million to Proposition 16, whereas opponents raised barely 2 million (95% from Asians) from small contributors.
With 73% of votes reported, the election has been called for the opponents. They are leading with 56% of the vote, outrunning Trump's vote by 23 votes. This is harbinger of what you can expect what will happen if the electorate gets polarized on the lines of identity politics - even California could come in play.
Proposition 16 passed 60-14 in the California Assembly and 30-10 in the Senate. What kind of a political class is this, where you can get a supermajority for something that is overwhelmingly rejected by a majority non-white, very left-wing electorate? Who are they representing? The billionaire oligarchs who were trying to buy this election?
I really don't understand why this happens but the left still dominated CA.
People may not be single issue voters, or they may have different single issues than we do. The corporate-owned Republican Party isn't exactly something to write home about, more like the lesser of the two evils.
Hopefully, a Josh Hawley/Tucker Carlson ticket in 2024 can sweep 50 states in the culmination of the Great Synthesis.
Its not left vs right, its the state vs the people. On this particular issue, the state jumped the gun. They should have waited another 10 or so years of slowly moving the overton window before trying it.
