Democratic Party extremists, meaning pretty much all of them, are losing support. But Republicans aren’t gaining support.
All over the blue states, obvious decline and cultural madness are producing anger among Democratic voters. They see that the progressive status quo is a failure, and dysfunction is spreading rapidly. This message is building to a crescendo, but it isn’t turning into politics. That is, it isn’t turning into a rising blue state shift to the Republican Party, or to a growing movement of Democratic Party centrism.
The Democrat mayor of San Jose is currently running for California governor as a problem-solving centrist who acknowledges that Democrats have screwed up the state. He’s consistently polling in the single digits, and his campaign is on life support, while proud far-left lunatics are pulling into the lead among the Democrat pack. Meanwhile, Republican candidates are polling remarkably well in the gubernatorial race, but the GOP still has little to no chance of ending Democrat supermajorities in both houses of the legislature.
The Titanic is sinking, but everyone is voting to stick with a version of the same captain, who’s only “doing a great job” when it’s time to choose the guy who runs the ship.
The brutally stupid cosplay-communist mayor of Los Angeles gets booed when she goes out in public in her dirty and failing city; also, she’s running for re-election, and she’s got a good shot at pulling it off.
The California legislature is currently in a manic state for “trans kids,” that magic category that allows maximum point scoring in the culture wars. There’s no way to exaggerate how obviously insane they’ve become, and I keep muttering about Jonestown and Kool-Aid when I watch legislative hearings. The only way for the state’s lawmakers to become more crazed on the topic would be to run around with garden clippers, personally turning boys into fake girls right there on the sidewalk. “Hold still, kid, I’m a state senator.”
The state capitol is currently flooded with bills to support and extend the sexual mutilation of children. Witnesses at legislative hearings are furious and disgusted, and they’re tearing into the Jacobins who are pushing this sickness.
