"Republicans will never win CA again, so why bother trying?"


It's the equivalent of "That girl will never go out with me, so why ask?".

This type of defeatist, give in to the mob, Shapiro-RINO thinking is why so many people believe we're headed to civil war / revolution ... And people like Shapiro make bank off of it. It's akin to race hustling on the left; there now exists a lucrative "grievance" industry on the right, now, in the form of "We have no hope, but listen to me to drown your sorrows."

Fucking fight back you fucking goddamned cowards (not people here, just defeatists in general). You don't know if you don't try. Republican establishment politicians / the RNC are the biggest bunch of spineless fucking cowards that have ever existed. They never even made a play for the black or hispanic vote until Trump. Fucking Uni-Party republic-destroying sell-out cowards.

Theres no hope for the state. I recently decided to move to nevada or texas. Despite there being some nice suburbs, power is concentrated around SF and LA. People living in cities are either rich enough to not care about good governance, or too poor that they need handouts to survive. The democratic machine in the state is too strong and will pull whatever shit they need to. We lost a lot of seats last election due to ballot harvesting. Governors can waste billions on high speed railways and stupid regulations banning everything only to never feel the effects of their legislation while their more radical successor takes office. I hoped things would get better, that having literal shit on the streets would be a wakeup call, but I realized that the people who are willing to live in the cities don't care. The only way that CA turns now is if it completely implodes. Moving out and taking my tax payments with me is more helpful than anything I can by staying.
