To be a perfect leftist you\u200c have to subscribe to the theory that \u200cthings just\u2026 happen. The basic philosophy \u200band matching campaign rhetoric is: All the bad things \u200cyou see \u2014 from homelessness and crime to inflation and war \u2014 are accidental. They could\u200b have happened\u200d to anybody \u200bregardless of policies, so give Democrats more of your money, and don\u2019t ask about outcomes.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>The Downfall of a \u2064Once-Magical State<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>California was a paradise in\u2062 the &#8217;70s and &#8217;80s,\u2063 a place where kids felt like gods.<\/li>\n<li>But now, the state is plagued by crime\u200b and fear, with residents living in constant danger.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>People outside California look at it now and wonder: How did it all go so wrong? How could \u200dthe\u2062 greatest place on the planet \u200dturn into the steaming \u200bpile of dung it is today? The\u200d \u201cwhat\u201d isn\u2019t complicated. The \u2064state went from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/projects\/la-pol-ca-california-voting-history\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">red\u2063 to blue<\/a> in the early \u201990s. And while there is debate as to the reasons it flipped, when it did, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/new-details-emerge-on-republican-congressmans-alleged-attacker\/\" title=\"New Details Emerge On Republican Congressman\u2019s Alleged Attacker\">state declined rapidly<\/a> with no end in sight.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s easy to\u2063 blame politicians, but we can\u2019t leave out the voters. Why would voters keep electing people who continuously preside over\u2064 the state\u2019s decline? It\u2019s because they have bought\u200c the premise that outcomes\u200c are \u2062accidental, or it\u2019s someone else\u2019s fault combined with perceived\u200d intent.<\/p>\n<p>For instance: <em>Crime\u2063 didn\u2019t spike because we\u200d changed the law \u2062to allow shoplifting under $950; it spiked in\u200c spite\u200d of that law, or because of Covid, or due to not enough\u2062 early-education funding.<\/em> That \u2062law passed because leftists convinced voters that the intent of the law mattered more than the\u200c foreseeable outcome. Or\u2064 another example: <em>Getting rid of\u2064 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/progressive-coalition-targets-l-a-democrat-after-homeless-encampment-uprooted-and-park-cleaned\/\" title=\"Progressive Coalition Targets L.A. Democrat After Homeless Encampment Uprooted And Park Cleaned\">anti-camping laws<\/a> didn\u2019t increase\u2063 homelessness,\u2063 the price of homes did.<\/em> Because anti-camping laws are evil, according to liberals. Getting rid of those laws shows Democrats are \u2062good people \u2014 again, selling\u200d intent, not outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>What a maddening existence conservatives have in California. Inside,\u2064 they are screaming at voters, but they know it won\u2019t change anything. Some leave, of course, but some can\u2019t. \u200cOthers won\u2019t\u200b leave behind family \u2062and\u200d friends. California voters routinely say they didn\u2019t\u200d vote \u200bfor this or\u200b that. Sure, just\u2064 like no one bought Nickelback albums. Someone is \u2062voting for\u2062 this garbage, and it isn\u2019t the minority party.<\/p>\n<h3>The\u2062 Democrats&#8217; Blame Game<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Democrats excel at shifting \u200dblame and avoiding responsibility for their failed policies.<\/li>\n<li>They\u2062 focus on intent \u200drather than outcomes, selling\u200b their voters on false narratives.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the red-versus-blue \u200dgovernors\u2019 debate \u200cbetween Newsom and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, there \u200bwas an unmistakable rhythm to the answers. DeSantis talked about what he had done\u2064 and achieved, and Newsom talked about what he had planned or how\u200c much money was thrown at a problem.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not a novel approach for Democrats; it\u2019s exactly how they\u200b frame national problems too. When Biden took office\u200b and made changes to\u200c Trump\u2019s border policy\u200d \u2014 voila! Border chaos ensued. So the White House went looking for \u201croot\u2062 causes,\u201d knowing they threw open the door and what would result, all the while selling their voters that \u200dit wasn\u2019t happening. Then they acknowledged it <em>was<\/em> happening, but it was the other guy\u2019s \u200bfault \u2014 and in \u200bfact, it was his policies that delayed the \u200dchaos just long enough so it\u2063 would be unleashed on the Biden\u200b administration.<\/p>\n<p>My favorite one is when Democrats tell us gas is expensive because\u2063 Big Oil is greedy. Newsom tried to sell that one during the debate, even going so far as to specifically accuse\u2064 Big Oil of\u200c hating Californians.\u2064 So\u2064 Big\u200d Oil \u200dis greedy just in \u2063California? Or they weren\u2019t greedy\u200b during the Trump administration, just during the Biden one? To conservatives, it\u2019s a laughable excuse, but voters in the majority party in California must believe it because their \u2063voting record bears that out.<\/p>\n<h3>The Destruction of California<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Newsom and his party have\u200b successfully indoctrinated voters into believing their policies don\u2019t lead to bad outcomes.<\/li>\n<li>California has gone \u200dfrom a place people \u2064flocked to, to a place\u200c they now flee.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Newsom famously admitted they cleaned up San Francisco for the\u200b Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit, and the right-leaning media (rightfully) pounced. Why did he admit to that with a smug smile\u2062 on his face?\u200b Because he knew \u200bCalifornia\u200b voters won\u2019t\u2062 punish him \u2063or his\u2062 party. Why should\u2063 he be\u2063 concerned? Since the early \u201990s, he\u200c and his party have wreaked havoc, and not only do they \u200dkeep winning\u2064 elections,\u2062 but they are stamping out the last of the conservative counties in the process.<\/p>\n<p>Newsom chided DeSantis, saying the Florida Republican was \u200ddisparaging the great city \u200cof\u200c Los Angeles for having the temerity to mention the outcomes that Angelenos were experiencing\u200d under Newsom\u2019s party. Newsom got on his\u200d soap box and raised \u200bhis voice to \u200bprotest DeSantis\u2019 characterization of the conditions on the ground, knowing that\u2064 he and his party lit the \u2062fuse that \u2063led to the combustion of a once-great city.<\/p>\n<p>But the faux indignation isn\u2019t fooling California conservatives. We know Newsom and his party don\u2019t give a second \u200cthought to\u2063 the state\u2019s destruction, nor the residents\u200b who are \u200dcollateral damage, because in California next November, like \u2062clockwork, Democrats will again \u2062prevail up and\u200b down the ballot and\u2064 all across the state.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"> <\/p>\n<h2> What role do voters play\u2062 in perpetuating California&#8217;s decline, despite the politicians&#8217; responsibility?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  \u200d Title: California&#8217;s Decline: From \u200bGolden State to Steaming Pile of \u2063Dung<\/p>\n<p>Introduction:<\/p>\n<p>California,\u2063 once known as the Golden \u200bState, has experienced a significant decline in recent years. From\u2062 its golden era in\u200c the &#8217;70s and &#8217;80s \u200bto the current state of crime\u200d and fear that plagues its residents, many wonder\u2064 how it all \u200bwent so wrong. While politicians certainly bear responsibility, the voters play a\u2064 crucial role in continuously electing representatives who preside over this decline. This article explores the reasons behind California&#8217;s downfall, the role of voters, and the Democrats&#8217; \u2064blame game.<\/p>\n<p>The Downfall of \u200da Once-Magical State:<\/p>\n<p>California was\u2062 once considered a paradise, especially for\u200b children who felt like gods in the &#8217;70s and &#8217;80s. However, today \u2063the state grapples with high crime rates and constant fear, leaving its residents exposed to \u2064danger. The \u2064question of how such a promising place could transform\u200d into a steaming pile of\u200d dung requires examination.<\/p>\n<p>Political Shift and Rapid Decline:<\/p>\n<p>The state&#8217;s transformation from red to \u200bblue in the early &#8217;90s marked a turning point in its\u2063 decline. While the reasons \u200dfor this shift are still debated, \u2063there is no denying the rapid decline that followed. However, it&#8217;s not just the politicians who deserve blame. Voters \u200chave played a crucial role in perpetuating this decline by succumbing to the notion that outcomes are accidental \u2064or the fault of\u200d others.<\/p>\n<p>Intent vs.\u2062 Outcomes:<\/p>\n<p>Many \u2064Californian voters have been convinced that intent outweighs \u200boutcomes. For instance, the spike\u200d in crime was not seen as a result of changing the law to allow shoplifting under $950 but rather as a consequence of \u2062other factors like the pandemic or \u200clack of early-education funding. Similarly, abolishing\u2063 anti-camping laws was justified by liberals as a way to address homelessness, shifting blame\u2063 from this decision to the rising \u200chousing prices.<\/p>\n<p>The Frustrations of Conservatives:<\/p>\n<p>Conservatives in California are left frustrated, as their concerns fall on deaf ears. Though they vehemently disagree with the voting patterns, their objections rarely lead to significant change.\u200d Some \u200bconservatives leave the state, but others are unable to do so \u200ddue to familial ties or other commitments. \u2064The discrepancy between what\u200d Californians claim to \u200dhave voted for \u200cand the actual outcomes exposes the contradiction in the state&#8217;s \u200belectoral\u2064 landscape.<\/p>\n<p>The Democrats&#8217; Blame Game:<\/p>\n<p>Democrats have excelled in shifting blame and avoiding accountability for their\u200c failed policies. They focus on intent rather than \u200coutcomes, using false\u2064 narratives to convince their voters. In debates such as the one between \u2062Gavin Newsom and\u2064 Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Democrats often discuss their\u200c plans\u200c and the money invested, while their \u2062opponents highlight their achievements and tangible results.<\/p>\n<p>Conclusion:<\/p>\n<p>The decline \u200dof California has\u2063 been fueled by a combination of political shifts, \u200bvoter mindsets, and the Democrats&#8217; blame \u200dgame. Without acknowledging the \u200dunintended consequences \u2063of policies and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cnn-asks-jen-psaki-how-it-can-help-push-joe-bidens-agenda\/\" title=\"CNN Asks Jen Psaki How It Can Help Push Joe Biden\u2019s Agenda\">holding politicians accountable<\/a>\u200b for their actions,\u2062 the state&#8217;s \u200bdecline is likely to continue. It is essential for Californians\u200d to critically evaluate their choices and prioritize outcomes over perceived intentions to restore the state to \u2062its \u2064former glory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>California Gov.
