Recalling Newsom<\/b><\/p>\n

Trumpenproletariat have a(nother) bad day<\/b><\/p>\n

Bryan Zepp Jamieson<\/i><\/p>\n

September 16th<\/sup> 2021<\/i><\/p>\n

I was hoping for a 57-43 result in Tuesday\u2019s California recall election. I had little doubt Governor Newsom was going to survive the recall process, but I wanted to see him get a convincing win. He got 60% of the vote in the last gubernatorial election, and between some instances of bad judgment, a rocky economy, the pandemic, and the fires, I expected to see some \u2018slippage\u2019 in support. Newsom isn\u2019t perfect, but he\u2019s at least reasonably competent. So I figured 57% of Californian voters would consider him worth keeping.<\/p>\n

It looks like he won it with over 63% of the vote! Turnout state wide was 42%, slightly higher than I expected, and that may have been part of it. But I suspect that a lot of voters who didn\u2019t have strong opinions on Newsom one way or the other came out and voted because they absolutely despise Trump and Elder and all their violent, vicious, and arrogant followers. People are horrified and appalled at stories of people being attacked for wearing masks\u2014even kids at school\u2014and hospitals being sued for not trying to treat COVID with worm medicine. There\u2019s a growing realization that a large number of followers of Trump are fascists at best, Nazis at worst, and deeply oppose democracy and freedom for anyone other than themselves. Elder had the crack-brained notion that Newsom could be blamed for the fires and didn\u2019t seem to realize that most people understood that it was climate change that has made the fires so much worse\u2014and that Elder was one of the strongest voices claiming climate change wasn\u2019t real.<\/p>\n

Obviously there are Republicans who don\u2019t subscribe to the filthy and corrupt views of Trump and Elder. But they didn\u2019t apparently didn\u2019t bother to turn out to vote. Elder got 42% of the \u2018replace\u2019 vote, and the second two candidates, both conservative moderates, failed to get 9% apiece. And most of the rest of the field were absolute clowns, ranging from Jenner who managed to support a woman\u2019s right to choose AND the Texas anti-abortion law, to the goofball with the bear for a running mate. Elder, a poisonous blend of Trump, Rush Limbaugh and Uncle Ruckus, was the candidate of choice of a large plurality of Republicans.<\/p>\n

The GOP is a diseased and ethically broken party, antithetical to normal American values and standards, corrupt, cruel and convinced they deserve to rule us. Less than 20% of them found a way to vote for a normal candidate who wasn\u2019t trying to destroy the United States and disenfranchise most Americans.<\/p>\n

As the results rolled in, Newsom tweeted, \u201cCalifornians voted \u2018YES\u2019 to, \u2018Women\u2019s rights. Immigrant rights. The minimum wage. The environment. Our future.\u2019 Newsom added that voters \u2018rejected cynicism and bigotry and chose hope and progress.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

I think that\u2019s a pretty fair assessment, and kudos to Newsom for realizing that Californians saw a bigger picture than the political future of Gavin Newsom. Trump and his filthy acolytes weighed heavily on the minds of voters. They looked at the partisan and corrupt hacks Trump had put on the court and wanted no part of it. (And no, Amy Coney, saying you aren\u2019t a partisan hack at the McConnell center doesn\u2019t mean you aren\u2019t a partisan hack; it just means you can make such a ridiculous claim in such absurd surroundings with the total lack of self-awareness of the standard religious zealot.)<\/p>\n

Californians looked at the utterly demented verging on murderous actions of various red-state governors and realized that Governor Larry Elder would be killing thousands of Californians with the same lunatic adherence to the gospel of Saint Donald.<\/p>\n

People who lived among the chaparral fires of central and southern California got tired of being told it was their fault because they didn\u2019t manage the forest properly. And those of us in the forested areas got tired of being told that proper management meant cutting the mature commercial stuff and leaving the doghair and understory.<\/p>\n

The vote came against a backdrop of scandal and mobs at the gates. The fencing went back up around the capital against possible violence during Saturday\u2019s J6 rally. Cases against the insurrectionists were delayed, not because of Republican foot-dragging, but because the amount of evidence against them continues to grow at a pace the lawyers can\u2019t keep up with. Reports came out that a top American general, Mark Milley, told the Pentagon to clear it with him in the event that Trump would order a nuclear strike in the final days of his presidency. Think about that for a minute. Trump and the Republicans turned the military into a comedy by Stanley Kubrick.<\/p>\n

Larry Elder showed that he was entirely a creature of Trump by posting on his website, declaring he had unearthed hundreds of case of malfeasance and fraud at the polling stations all across California. Most people, aware of the duplicitous and dishonest efforts of Republicans to overturn the results of the 2020 election, would have been doubtful anyway. But Elder couldn\u2019t even be arsed waiting for the actual voting to occur: he posted all this the day before the election.<\/p>\n

Elder doesn\u2019t think his supporters are idiots. He knows they are.<\/p>\n

Trump and the idiot trumpenproletariat that support him aren\u2019t going away soon. In addition to religious nuts, there is no shortage of corrupt and partisan hacks, and bountiful flat-earthers and anti-science clowns to keep Trump going for some time to come.<\/p>\n

But the recall election shows the actual political weakness of Trump\u2019s fools\u2019 parade, and the results deeply undermine their claims to be the heirs to the American dream.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
