Democrat Voters Repeat the Same Mistakes

California Democratic voters have caused significant harm to the once-thriving Golden State for more than two decades.

Take the issue seriously.

Some years back, former boxing heavyweight champion Larry Holmes faced a challenging yet unsuccessful journeyman fighter named Randall "Tex" Cobb.

Holmes attacked him throughout the match. However, Cobb remained standing.

Once Holmes struck Cobb's face with such force that the challenger's head nearly turned 180 degrees, resembling a moment from "The Exorcist."

But Cobb refused to collapse.

Holmes used every technique except a tire iron. He severely attacked Cobb for 15 rounds.

When the bell signaled the end of the fight, Cobb was still on his feet. When asked if he wanted a rematch, Cobb responded, "No, Larry's hands couldn't handle the beating."

Like Cobb, non-Democratic voters in California are composed of fire-resistant material,earthquake-proof, heavy-duty material. Year after year, Democrats who vote for Democrats elect politicians who tax, spend, and regulate. Every foolish idea supported by Democrats in Washington D.C. has already been implemented twice in California.

Yet, in some way or another, non-Democrat voters in California endure the hardships, mend their wounds, and manage the bruises. When the alarm goes off in the morning, they rise, head over to Starbucks, and shuffle into their jobs. It's quite remarkable.

Near the stadium where the Los Angeles Lakers compete, there are statues that celebrate former Laker legends. However, within the entire state, there is no statue similar to the Iwo Jima monument to recognize the courageous, enduring, non-Democrat voting residents of California.

Non-Democratic voting residents of California observe their cherished state struggling under the policies of such individuals asCalifornia Governor Gavin Newsom; the Democratic supermajority in the state Senate and Assembly; and the series of Democratic mayors in Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Nevertheless, the majority of non-Democrat voters continue to endure, wounded and exhausted — yet hopeful that eventually, at some future time, the other voters will become aware, witness the homeless camps, and experience the odor of waste.

The typical home price in California is double the national average. The state has the country's second-highest unemployment rate, the slowest job growth, and the largest number of undocumented immigrants.

An undocumented individual residing in California who enrolls in a state college or university is eligible for reduced in-state tuition, a benefit that a student from Wisconsin attending UCLA does not qualify for.

California is at the forefront of homelessness in the United States. Residents face the most expensive gasoline rates compared to other states. The state experiences the highest electricity costs among the 48 contiguous states. Additionally, California imposes the highest state income tax in the nation.

California chose its final Republican for a state-wide position more than 20 years back. That'sany statewide office.

Besides securing supermajorities in the state Senate and Assembly, Democrats have consistently chosen Democrats as mayors of Los Angeles and San Francisco. Los Angeles last selected a Republican mayor in 1997, when 30% of voters were registered Republicans. Now that figure has dropped to 15%. California Republicans might be eligible for protection under the Endangered Species Act.

A long time ago, voters approved a measure to construct a "high-speed train" connecting Los Angeles and San Francisco, which was expected to cost approximately $33 billion at that time. Now, the California High Speed Rail Authority estimates the project — which remains unbuilt — will exceed $200 billion.

In 2023, legislators approved, and Newsom ratified, a significant increase in the minimum wage for fast food employees, amounting to almost 25%. A particular study indicated that this increase led to the loss of nearly 10,000 positions for fast food workers, including 1,100 roles that Pizza Hut eliminated right after the bill was passed by the legislature and signed by the governor.

So, what should be done? It's time for genuine, decisive measures. We require courageous, innovative ideas. It's time to implement term limits. That is, term limits for voters.

Voters who consistently support the Democratic Party, even in the face of clear negative outcomes, show a troubling inability to think logically, make sound judgments, and evaluate the damage their choices create. Just as we might take away the keys from an alcoholic who has had too much to drink, Democrats who keep voting for the party should be given a break. Let them step back from elections for a while.

Who knows? Following required group therapy sessions for voters, Democrats who support the Democratic party might regain their voting privileges. This situation is probably temporary since many, if not most, are likely to experience a setback.

Meanwhile, California could potentially be saved.

It's harsh to lose the right to vote. Opponents might argue, "We told you Republicans will do anything to limit our voting power!"

So, think about this different penalty: A required car decal: “Take the blame — I supported these fools.”
