Californian voters overwhelmingly passed Prop 50 last night. Nearly 64% of voters thought it was a good idea to take congressional distracting AWAY from an independent board – something that we voted FOR in the first place – and put the reigns back in the hands of the California Legislative Body. Which has held a Democratic Super Majority since 2012.
Gerrymandering on steroids is what the majority of voters chose. There will never be balanced representation for California again.
I’ve lived in CA for 57 years, my entire life. I’ve witnessed the non-stop degradation of California for the last 20 years, at least. I never like to use the term “hopeless”… but I don’t know what else to call this place.
Low IQ, low information voters that view government as some sort of team sport are destroying this state. What kind of person thinks giving the government even MORE power and authority is a good thing? “If it’s team blue it must be good!” without ANY regard for, oh, I don’t know, reality and consequences?!?
Morons. That’s what kind of person. Absolute, dyed-in-the-wool, morons.
Now I have to consider that 6 out of every 10 people I interact with are nincompoops. Great.
And the icing on the cake? These geniuses ALSO voted to raise our sales tax, which was already one of the highest in the country. At a time when it’s harder than ever to get by, these scoundrels decided we should pay more in taxes. I guess because our government body have been such good stewards of OUR money and are doing so much good for our citizenry? Right?
I’ve been trying REALLY hard these last six month to be a better person, to keep my negativity in check, to be more empathetic in general… Today I am STRUGGLING with that. I LOATH my “neighbor” right now and I’m seriously fighting some ugly and hateful thoughts toward “them”.
It’s a shame California didn’t break off and fall into the sea as we were all told it would. This many incredibly stupid people in one place is a disaster. We need a Plague. A REAL one this time. Our herd needs thinning in the worst possibly way.
I know I’ve said I didn’t want this blog to be a place of ranting and negativity, but I simply had to this off my chest. To every single one of you that voted for these things, thank you for reinforcing the idea that I need to move out of this clown world. Y’all are simply too stupid to live with.
i lived in SoCal in the early 90’s. loved it, but even then, the cost of living was nearly double of other places I lived. Left in 92. Looking at google maps of the place I lived, I recognize NOTHING, and the number of hive mind places around there are insane.
I’m gonna cut that there cuz WP keeps deleting parts of my comment,,,
