The only thing that will truly kill California is the very thing they are already doing, creating an increasingly toxic and dangerous business environment for the low level services and goods economy. And its the very same thing that the federal government can't save them from.

When you legalize criminal activity, make it illegal to protect your staff or your products, make it illegal to hire good workers over bad, and then punish any business that has the gall to price according to these risks and costs, you drive out the gas stations, the corner stores, the drug stores, even the supermarkets. You can have the most diverse staff at the high flying silicon valley tech startup in the world, paying 50% taxes for the priviledge of being in california, only for those staff to not be able to buy a case of beer and some ramen noodles on the way home, they will leave. Business is already leaving. Those that remain are doing so on borrowed time, and the higher administration has made it exceedingly clear that they don't care if those restaurants and small shops fail. They'll make token bailouts here and there, but even those they prop up will fail to grow, just stay stagnant.

You can give people UBI, free drugs, feelgood immigration policies, mandatory minimum wage increases, the whole nine yards, and still fail when they can't buy bread. Not because the bread is too expensive, not because the bread is too scarce, not because the bread isn't woke enough - but because the bakery closed and went to Texas. Californias death will be one of economic uninhabitability.

Don't tell them the secret sauce to Dems losing is accelerationists.
They might actually figure out being hysterical retards might not be a good idea and won't get them the presidency.

Hey we're not all bad in California (Never forget about 40% of the votes here went to Trump) and no, I don't want to move to another state or are planning on it. I like living in the one of the most peak /out/doors places in the world and out of spite with all of the shithead progs here.

Or the part where you can drive for a few hours at the most and get to multiple diverse environments.
Only thing we're missing is a jungle and a volcano. But jungles suck anyways and I'm pretty sure the climate change retards would've somehow erupted any nearby volcanoes while high on bear piss so.

The difference is the Republicans are (as far as I know) unwilling to engage in literal murder to keep people following the party line. That and Liz Cheney has completely shed all but the merest pretensions of being a Republican to openly suck Pelosi's clit. The GOP takes her money and her positions away to force her to play ball? Pelosi has the hookup instead, if Liz could find the time to stop the cunnilingus to kiss the ring. What can the GOP do to someone like that that won't risk a visit from the FBI? I don't even think its possible to expel people from parties in the USA. Leadership yes, but not membership.

If the GOP didn't support Liz Cheney, she wouldn't have a leadership position in the House to begin with. She's on the J6 committee because purging the party of Trump and anything like him is near the top of the agenda for a major faction of the Republican leadership.

Because this isn’t supposed to drop this low. There’s meant to be a floor to how low approval will sink, and it’s a hell of a lot higher than that. Sure, they’re in charge, but poll numbers like that are pretty fucking demoralizing to the actual Democratic voters, without whom fraud becomes harder and harder to manage. Certainly not impossible, but every person turned off by a poll like this is a person whose vote is either put towards an independent and is wasted/somehow gets them elected, but much more likely just doesn’t go to the Democrat they would have voted for… which means that Democrat has to cheat harder to win. This isn’t a presidential election, but the ones that are happening still matter.

Now, sure, some of this might demoralize some of the Right, who don’t feel like they need to vote in order to win… but that’s much more prevalent on the Left than the Right, so… yeah. Either way, it’s definitely not a good sign of things to come for the Left, barring fraud I’m earnestly not certain even they could pull off.

Yeah the most popular president with a in history with a D+10 poll isn't supposed to be ten points less popular than Donald Trump with a D+20 poll.

I'm more curious as to what would happen in the following hypothetical situation: say they were to cheat a candidate/candidates into office in such a way as described, where the margin is way too big to allow for plausible deniability. If the fraud is caught in the act beyond a shadow of a doubt for everyone to see, would the Democrats/Biden administration just be like "lol fuck it, they won and we know you peons will not stop us unless you want us to sick the Feds upon you" and just have the candidate be installed anyway?

There'd be a first time for everything, and that would include dropping all pretense of fair elections because they really don't want to let go of power.

Assuming Civil War doesn't happen, the ability of those "elected" officials are hamstrung because they lack real legitimacy. Biden issues a national mask mandate? Florida says no and mask mandates in that state don't happen. Biden wants to aid Ukraine? Even with all of Congress behind him, the most he can do is send weapons and money launder Foreign Aid. Why? Because the average American citizen isn't all that interested in fighting for Ukraine despite all of social media pressuring people to donate. Only Reddit Battalions went to fight and their testimonies have killed all enthusiasm.

So, even if they nominally have the offices, they increase the amount of people that oppose them and their actual ability to command becomes less.

It all comes down to Command Authority and Legitimacy

Rule 1 of Command:
Never give an order that will not be followed.
The reason is simple; once they overcome the threshold to disobey an order, they start doing it for every order and command authority collapses.

Sure, one little mayor seems like a small deal when they declare that X federal rule will not be followed; masks, guns, whatever. But it puts the Feds in a fix, either they do nothing and let their authority slowly erode and the country balkanize OR they crack down to try and make the mayor bend the knee.

What happens when the mayor doesn't bend? When the city council refuses to remove him, when the local PD and citizens rally around him, and the Feds end up arresting half a township for one little mayor standing up for his town? Well, done and dusted, right? CNN will call them all terrorists, the FBI office gets a commendation, and it's settled, right?

Wrong. The underlying command authority has not been restored, the arrested people are now martyrs, and trust is damaged. This sets the stage for another conflict, maybe even a larger one in a bigger city. And eventually, if the rift is not repaired (which the current power structure seems to have no interest in) the conflict will eventually rise to a governor telling DC to sit and spin.

That will be when the real fireworks happen. When a state's governor stands up and tells the Feds to fuck off with the support of his constituents then we are past the point of no return. The central government will escalate because they feel they have to, maybe sending local FBI or Federal marshals to arrest the governor, and in response state authorities will escalate in turn and be instructed to escort every Fedboi to the border. You better hope the local PD and state troopers are able to do that without firing a shot. Though if the shooting doesn't start there, it'll likely really kick off at any local military or NG bases. Assuming that they don't flip to support the Governor when this goes down.

Any way you slice it, this all starts with the political elite forgetting that all their power and authority derives ultimately from the consent of the governed. They have departed too far, and have sown the whirlwind.

I hope everyone has a relaxing day and weekend, and sorry for this on what is now Ultra MAGA Day, but the motherfucking mega faggot Mitt the Bitch wrote an article on July 4th where he sounds more democrat than Manchin and is crying about Trump coming back. It's amazingly broken and out of touch on a Pelosi level, like the fag had David French edit it:

Everyone with eyes noticed a big NeverTrump push to create a fight between T-Bone and Heavy D and leaning on polls that had Desantis ahead, but in the past week it seems that has changed (with a poll showing Trump is still 40 points ahead nationally over Desantis) and the two will be appearing together later this month. Perhaps Trump really is going to announce his campaign this month and force people to back off except for the backstabber Pence. That's the only thing I can think of why Mittens is freaking out and trying to act like "yes things are horrible but Trump is worse." You live in a world where even sister wives are going WTF you RINO.



Here's a sparkler bonus of Kopmala being made a fool by her staff:

As a small aside, is there a chrome or firefox extension to remove the twitter pop up demanding you sign in after scrolling six tweets? There is nitter.net but something faster would help, I'm never going to make a twitter account.

That's the FLDS church, not the LDS church. Lumping in 99.9% of the religion to the ones in southern Utah and Arizona is misguided, and is on par with me calling all Catholics pedofiles because of their leaderships extra curricular activities.

Not to say mitt isnt a gigantic dipshit.

Yesterday FOX News had a poll that stated the american people didn't want Biden OR Trump.

Only reason why I know this is because my mom caught it while she was flipping the channel and was like "oh wow, I can't believe that!", to which I immediately asked her "why are you watching this shit?"

Well it's not surprising. The animal name ought to be RINO News, not fox.

Relax my magical underpants wearing friend. I'm not going to give you shit if you say the Catholic Church actively protected pedo priests from prosecution for decades.
