What is the trend? What did the previous polling say?

Lol, your dictator is polling in the 30s.

Do you know those brown workers your party hates so much generate $$$ for the US economy?

Your racist hate- filled party is poo for the economy.

Pete Wilson and Arnold Schwarzenagger were Republican governors of California who: opposed free healthcare for illegal immigrants, would not have approved of Newsome's current budget, and wanted smaller government and lower taxes. I would agree that a slight majority of Californians probably do agree with this.

The Republican party of today, however, has moved way beyond these ideas and instead endorses: Higher taxes on low income people, lower taxes only on the very wealthy, more government (not less) to regulate individual's freedom of choice, overt Jim-Crow racism, environmental destruction, arrest and detention without trial, Gestapo-style roundups.

Most Californians would probably support a Pete Wilson or an Arnold Schwarzenagger type Republican over any Trump-aligned Republican. And they would support Gavin Newsome- in spite of their misgivings about his fiscal and healthcare policies- over any Trump-aligned republican. Californians have witnessed what a Trump-style dictatorship looks like. They are not happy.

California didn't do anything wrong, people are protesting and exercising their first amendment rights. It's ICE that's trying to escalate things. There is no reason to call up the Guard which was an illegal act. The California economy generates tons of money for the US as a whole, including those mooching red states ran by your corrupt party.

Also, tell your felon to stop listening to baldy. He's ruining his approval ratings.

There will never be a red California in your lifetime. Even if the next governor is a Pub, he'll be a California Republican like Schwarzenegger, which is a very different thing from an Alabama Republican. And the legislature will not flip.
