the Newsom vibe shift is crazy, a vance guy warehouse worker at my workplace was like “my daughters really excited about Newsom, i love seeing her excited about politics. i might vote for him” what’s going on

One of the saddest events for the American Right was Desantis running for the 2024 nomination when Trump was being politically persecuted by every Democrat in the country. Trump and many in the base viewed that as extremely disloyal. Desantis's calling in life was to be the AG for Trump during his second term. Just imagine Desantis as AG right now instead of Bondi. The difference in policy competence and execution between Desantis and Bondi is immeasurable. In the end Trump went with Bondi because he needed a loyalist. This is 100% understandable because Trump went through literal hell during the time he was out of the presidency. I would do the same thing if I just completed the greatest political comeback in American history.

I pointed out on Reddit that newsom has a fixed ceiling because of the prominent anti California attitude that much of the country has and I was downvoted into oblivion. The most common response was "those dumb red states may hate California but they sure love all the services that California taxes pay for." This is a winning message to flip Pennsylvania, Michigan, etc

Yeah the makers v takers states debate is actually malicious. "Aha, dumb MAGAtards we actually de-industrialized and financialized the economy and all the big investment firms are in New York so in a way we're the enlightened ones subsidizing your welfare. Don't you feel stupid now? Why do you keep voting against your interests?"

There is video of leftists like John Stewart attacking Newsom from the right on crime/bail policy and making him look like an idiot. California under Newsom's leadership has become a massive failure, and seen record net out domestic migration never seen in modern California history. There are so many videos of smash and grabs, carjackings, robberies, and murders caught on tape in nice neighborhoods like Walnut Creek and Palo Alto. So many home invasions of celebrities in nice areas. Non-stop campaign video for attack ads during a general election against Newsom. The biggest threats for 2028 are AOC and leftist economic populism if prices don't get closer to pre-Biden levels, and Shapiro since he is the governor of the largest and most important swing state and has actually done some moderate things like going after the leftist Soros DA of Philadelphia.

“…if prices don't get closer to pre-Biden levels”

Unless you are talking only about eggs and gasoline, the chances of prices getting closer to pre-Biden levels are zero.

But I think you believe that voters are stupid if that is your criteria.

A firm belief that served me well in the tech business is that most people are neither that dumb nor that smart.

It surely applies here.

FWIW I happen to agree with most of the rest of what you wrote.

P.S. Shapiro is not a 2028 threat because he is an unapologetic Zionist.

While I agree with your sentiment that if nominated he could well win the general election, the chances of his winning the nomination in today’s Dem party imo are vanishingly close to zero.

One other very significant benefit of addressing fertility decline via increasing the family size of those already married with children is that it would more eugenic, as marriage has basically died out among the lower classes over the last half century, and much of the recent dramatic fertility decline in the US is from those lower classes drastically decreasing the number of children they're having out of wedlock.

All that to say, there's a minor whitepill in that the past decade of fertility decline is somewhat addressing the highly dysgenic fertility distribution among the upper, middle, and lower classes that has existed since the early 20th Century.

Former US Attorney for Massachusetts and Former DA of Suffolk County Rachael Rollins resigned in May 2023 after an investigation revealed multiple ethics violations, including that she had leaked government secrets to influence the election of a political ally.

Kim Gardner, Former DA of St. Louis, was also forced to resign after she did a bunch of corrupt stuff as well. Missouri AG and new co-deputy FBI director Andrew Bailey exposed most of that.

Former DA of Baltimore Marilyn Mosby was indicted by federal grand juries for perjury and fraud. The two perjury charges were due to Mosby having financially exploited a COVID-19 pandemic relief program for which she was convicted on November 9, 2023. The fraud case, for which she was convicted on February 6, 2024, was due to mortgage fraud committed when purchasing two Longboat Key, Florida properties. I believe this is the same thing that Letitia James is in trouble for now.

New Orleans has gone from one of the murder capitals of the US to the undisputed murder capital of the US under LaToya Cantrell.

1. It was smart for Newsom to stick by Brandon. It showed the Democrat establishment that he’s a loyal party soldier. He did throw subtle shade at Kamala on some podcast during her campaign though.

2. Tech won’t hurt Newsom. He’ll just blame Elon Musk/Trump/X/Theil and talk about how Tech needs more regulation.

3. His record in California is irrelevant. Every shitty thing that happened is good according to libtards or if not he can just blame Trump.

4. He will secure the blacks and thereby secure South Carolina and the nomination. Black men & women especially secretly hate Kamala. Black women will swoon for Newsom.

5. You’re correct about Meatball. He’s going nowhere. If he would’ve sat out 24 and been a loyal soldier the 28 nomination would’ve been his nearly guaranteed. His fans are detestable.

Andrew Yang is an alumnus of my high school and he came to talk to us. It did not inspire me to join the Yang Gang.
