Is Proposition 50 a slam dunk? California media reports suggest so. However, certain tells may indicate otherwise.
The biggest tell is the Democrats’ use of President Barack Hussein Obama (BHO), Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), and even Senator Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren in their latest commercials.. Bringing in their heavy hitters suggests a genuine concern that voters may plan to reject Prop 50.
Here’s the truth: Prop. 50 is nothing but even more absurd gerrymandering of districts to add five more Democrat congressional seats. This, to counter the Texas Republicans doing the same, in the Lone Star State—at least that is the justification. The ads would have you believe Newsom and Democrats are doing this to protect Democracy and resist President Donald Trump.
Uh-huh. What the Democrats are really trying to prevent is their House of Representatives numbers from shrinking further.
Gerrymandering has been going on for decades, especially in blue states and especially in California. Republicans regularly win 40 percent of the vote in the Golden State, yet out of 52 districts, only nine percent are won by the GOP. This 17 percent underrepresentation is because of gerrymandering.
Prop 50 would take away redistricting from the so-called non-partisan Citizen Redistricting Commission and transfer this power, “temporarily,” to the Democrat legislature. Newsom and the Dems believe voters are stupid enough to think they will relinquish this authority when Trump is stopped. LOL!
Apparently, internal polling must be showing the voters aren’t totally on board for this BS, hence the presence of BHO, AOC, and “Pocahantas” Warren. The problem is that BHO has no coattails. His endorsements have no pull. The latest example was Barry Hussein failing to shame black men into voting for Kamala. How did that work out? The plain truth is that an ever-growing number of Americans dislike Obama.
AOC–to put it kindly– is a mental lightweight, and “Pocahontas” Warren is a shrill liar. Trump dubbed her Pocahontas because she lied for years about claiming Native American heritage to receive academic promotions.
Let us not forget Newsom’s incompetence as governor for two terms, most recently during the Palisades Fire. Remember this viral image of Newsom caught lying to an evacuated homeowner, claiming he was on the phone with the president?
And who could forget his hypocrisy during the pandemic when the media infamously caught him dining with friends at an exclusive restaurant while the rest of California was locked down?
Considering this disingenuous and shameless bunch, are most Californians really falling for their so-called defense of Democracy? I’m hoping recent trends make this seem unlikely.
Trump flipped eight additional California counties red in the 2024 election, and Republicans are surging with voter registration in the Golden State. Republicans gained over 46,000 new voters statewide, while Democrats lost over 30,000. Hispanics and blacks also turned out in record numbers and voted for Trump. Does this sound like Prop 50 is a slam dunk? Sure, history has shown many Californians tend to be brainless voters, but are they suddenly believing these serial liars are telling the truth?
All the Dems have is making this election against Trump when, except for Democrat wailing and gnashing of teeth, voters are seeing a President trying to re-establish the rule of law in America, and especially in blue states.
The dirty little secret is that the Democrats have made Republicans impotent in this state by gerrymandering. What they are calling for now is wringing out more redistricting to the point of absurdity.
Prop 50 has nothing to do with preserving Democracy in the classic sense, but instead has everything to do with slowing the will of Americans who want this party out of power for at least a generation.
