California goes red while Newsom goes bonkers (leftists being triggered all over)

Editor's note: This is interesting news. Apparently, 40 percent of the voters in California voted for Donald Trump. The Bolshevik Nomenklatura Gavin Newsom is now looking to secede from America that will be led by Donald Trump. Maybe a better option would be for Newsom to resign then take his estimated $20 million in wealth and disappear to his $3.7 million estate in Fair Oaks, California. Maybe start a real business or something.

Is California Setting The Stage For Secession?

Is California turning red?

By Soledad Ursua | November 8, 2024

Tuesday’s elections in California will have been difficult for Democrats to stomach. A staggering 40% of Californians voted for Donald Trump, with Republicans leading in several of the most competitive house districts. Even in San Francisco, the uber-progressive mayor London Breed has been voted out. No wonder, then, that Governor Gavin Newsom has already called for a special session in the legislature to "Trump-proof" certain policies such as abortion and immigration.

On the same day, California voters also endorsed a significant shift toward stricter law-enforcement measures, with 71% approving Proposition 36, a statewide ballot initiative aimed at imposing harsher penalties for repeat theft and crimes involving fentanyl. In doing so, they effectively rolled back some of the state’s more controversial "soft-on-crime" policies.

Proposition 36 was a response to Proposition 47, a 2014 reform designed to alleviate overcrowded prisons by reclassifying certain non-violent crimes, such as drug offences and thefts under $950, from felonies to misdemeanours. Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón, a principal architect of Proposition 47 and a progressive figure supported by billionaire George Soros, has now lost a re-election bid to Independent challenger Nathan Hochman.

These are hugely significant developments, but they do not mark a clean sweep for the anti-progressive movement. In southern California cities, such as Los Angeles and Santa Monica, voters have actually drifted even further to the Left. For example, Los Angeles voters have elected another Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)-endorsed candidate to the City Council, which means that five out of 15 council members in Los Angeles now advocate for police defunding. In neighbouring Santa Monica, a city grappling with rising crime, including a series of homeless-on-homeless assaults and murders, an entire slate of pro-law-and-order candidates for City Council lost to progressive, DSA-aligned candidates too.
