California totally messes with the popular vote. If you are a Republican in Cal in most of that state, you have little reason to vote. You will notice the high third party totals. Unless you care what liberal democract wins an office. Your vote might as well not exist
One party rule, forever, makes for very poorly run government
Trump shows respect for white working class people while the media and some politicians have none if not utter contempt.
Trump doesnāt treat minorities and women like children while everyone else Does.
Obama is a humongous pussy with a wife that has trap muscles most men on this site would be envious of. Trump isnāt a pussy and weāve had other word leaders already demonstrate respect for him. His wife is as attractive as possible for a woman pushing 50 could possibly be.
You got it. Trump treats everyone the same. Those who normally are pandered to (but given nothing) might think he doesnāt love them. Those who are normally disrespected, but called privileged, see Trump as showing them respect.
Is this real life? Did you write that and actually think its true?
The funny thing about Calexit is most of the country would be for it too, it not like its a threat of the kind people would try to stop. Not that it would actually happen I just hope it doesnāt make others want to join as I live in a non CA west coast state.
I agree except for how much money California gives the Feds, other than that there is no reason for it to remain in the Union.
Yeah it is. Just because heās douche to anyone that he feels deserves it, and in general a loud mouth ass, doesnāt mean that is treating groups differently.
Youāve got to read the rest of his post to āget itā.
Heās a business man, arrogant and self important. He lives in a āput up or shut upā world. And shits on you if you have to shut up. You dontā stay that rich playing patty cake with certain groups because of skin color or genital makeup.
I am not for it. All the ultra-left wing-istsā can grab their safe spaces and go, but the majority of the state fine with me. They are 1/6th of the economy, so I want their money. The people are free to leave.
And there were secession threats after obama was elected. Actual succession votes passed in Georgia and Texas in 2008, but I think everybody will calm down after the hysteria boils over and things will be just fine.
They gave up their guns⦠And now want calexit?
lmao.
oooookkkkkaaaayy then.
Yes it is true he treats them the same. He is not worried aboutwhat group he will offend by doing that. You are an ass to him he calls you one without checking your victimization group first. And that upsets those who expect to be pandered to
The Democrats will never win another election without Cal
Did you see this release, Maximus? Not exactly conciliatory, lets work together rhetoric. I was so disappointed to see this.
An Official Joint Statement from the CA Legislature.
Today, we woke up feeling like strangers in a foreign land, because yesterday Americans expressed their views on a pluralistic and democratic society that are clearly inconsistent with the values of the people of California.
We have never been more proud to be Californians.
By a margin in the millions, Californians overwhelmingly rejected politics fueled by resentment, bigotry, and misogyny.
The largest state of the union and the strongest driver of our nationās economy has shown it has its surest conscience as well.
_California is ā and must always be ā a refuge of justice and opportunity for people of all walks, talks, ages and aspirations ā regardless of how you look, where you live, what language you speak, or who you love. _
California has long set an example for other states to follow. And California will defend its people and our progress. We are not going to allow one election to reverse generations of progress at the height of our historic diversity, scientific advancement, economic output, and sense of global responsibility.
We will be reaching out to federal, state and local officials to evaluate how a Trump Presidency will potentially impact federal funding of ongoing state programs, job-creating investments reliant on foreign trade, and federal enforcement of laws affecting the rights of people living in our state. We will maximize the time during the presidential transition to defend our accomplishments using every tool at our disposal.
While Donald Trump may have won the presidency, he hasnāt changed our values. America is greater than any one man or party. We will not be dragged back into the past. We will lead the resistance to any effort that would shred our social fabric or our Constitution.
California was not a part of this nation when its history began, but we are clearly now the keeper of its future.
Just a scathing Op Ed this morning. Wow. There isnāt a paywall, but if it fades, scroll up and x out the ad and it will come back up.
Too many liberals, and some conservatives, simply cannot imagine how great numbers of Americans think and perceive their own interests. Thus wrong opinions must be the result of cognitive limitations or character flaws. Mrs. Clinton called Trump supporters ādeplorables,ā āirredeemableā and ānot America,ā as if there could be no other explanation.
These failures of empathy are also a staple of Mr. Obamaās rhetoric, with his moral lectures about who we are as Americans and the arc of history always bending towardāwell, his point of view. For the President, and most prominent Democrats these days, opponents who debate policies and principles never do so in good faith.ā¦
And this from Huff Po even. I was surprised. They donāt get it all right, but she does seem to see some of it.
just⦠lmao
Doubling down on the leftist elitism?
The bubble⦠I just donāt get it. That state isnāt solid blue by any stretch⦠Literal morons.
Trump Dere is great Dere. Gonna make murica white again. Minorities are inferior and bring on our racist policies towards themselves. They arenāt aloud to live in my buildings. No fat chicks either. There is going to be a wall. Then he will tank the country and find a loop whole to sui itās inhabitants. Dumdumdum.
Its derp.
As in:
Herp derp, they terk er jerbs!
or
Maybe weāll snatch back a Ford plant herp derp!
etc.
Zombie Hydra award - canāt kill it and every part cut off, spawns a new creature
To be fair, the last time this was attempted guns were used and that didnāt have the outcome they wanted either.
