In case people missed it - California shifted to the right as well

[Sympthsical]

19. Point taken

But this is California. If I express puzzlement at quinoa, people will ask when I started supporting Trump.

Jokes aside, I agree. I never could stand Dennis Miller in any iteration, but one time I caught him saying, "The problem is [the elites] think common sense is common." And that put me in the mind of Orwell. "One has to belong to the intelligentsia to believe things like that; no ordinary man could be such a fool."

That's been in my mind watching some of California's crime policies. "Hey, what if we just stopped prosecuting crimes? Then no one would have to go to jail! Everyone wins!" And it's like . . . they didn't see the obvious results there? No prosecutions invite more crime which devolves quality of life which leads to more crime which leads to . . .

That one is like baseline common sense.

And some people couldn't manage it. Stretch that sort of thing across an array of issues, and eventually the normies will start tapping out. Yes, even the liberal ones.
