Living in California, this is pretty much what I watched unfold.

Is it mental illness? Or is it immaturity? Children often say things like “you can’t tell me what to do!” A lot of kids also love to intentionally be contrary, for no other reason than to be contrary. Most children exhibiting those behaviors shed them as adults. However, it seems that many are allowing that immature nature to resurface at the urging of opportunistic political leaders.Read an article on the history of this recall yesterday. It was pretty much going nowhere fast until Newsom was caught at a high end restaurant having a maskless dinner and that alone made the recall a certainty. People need to seriously calm the fuck down. I can’t believe the amount of mental illness this covid situation has triggered in a scary amount of people.

I cannot believe that is legal...
(Searches the web) It is definitely not legal:
California Recall Election Worker Sent Home For Wearing MAGA Merch On The Job
Election officials released the worker for "inappropriate and unacceptable" Trump regalia.www.huffpost.com
The man was first “counseled and told not to wear anything political” on Monday, Registrar-Recorder’s office spokesperson Mike Sanchez told KTLA.
“But he still came wearing it,” Sanchez added. “Because of his response and not complying with the rules, he was released.”
So he knew it wasn’t allowed and he still did it. What an ass.
Not that I'm too surprised. California is bluer than ever. The media sure made it seem like his recall was a possibility this summer, but I guess that was before all the dirt on Larry Elder came out.
That got the media eyeballs and clicks. Then the Elder stuff got them eyeballs and clicks.
Yes, I am a bit cynical.
They need a new model. I am not going to sub to a paper just so I can read one random link. Make me watch and ad before reading it. I can do that. Or let locals subscribe and bypass forced ads.Every online paper in the country is running promos it wouldn't offer before now: stuff like a dollar a week for months on end, or a dollar for six months... all to jack up circ rates for fleeing advertisers. Also, the online papers that would not previously renegotiate a new promo for existing customers are now begging them to take a new promo rate instead of cancelling before full rates kick in.

That’s only because Trump got tired of winning!
Trump is still bigly relevant.

Who is going to pass the law that blanket strips away the rights of citizens?Already CA Democrats are talking about changing the recall laws. Slow your roll. That’s not how this works.
First, you announce the formation of a review commission which one party will unilaterally think is a good idea and the other will unilaterally think is the worst idea ever. Take several months to form the commission and then a minimum of a year to complete the investigation at the cost of millions of dollars. Then create a multi-volume summary report with a minimum of 1,000 pages. Then despite a mountain of condemning evidence against key individuals, don’t pursue any prosecution and don’t do anything to change the law. So it doesn’t look like you didn’t do anything at all, instead pass legislation that blanket strips away the rights of average citizens. Finally, file the report in the “Goofs” section of the Library of Congress.
Been there, done that.Who is going to pass the law that blanket strips away the rights of citizens?
I was thinking as part of the referendum scenario, but obviously I need to expand my horizon for this comment.
Maybe they can just have a referendum on future referendums. Fix it California style.
