From the second Trump gained the 2024 election, Democrats have completed nothing however attempt to stand in his method. They suppose it’s nonetheless 2016 they usually haven’t any new concepts.
One new ballot reveals that voters usually are not shopping for the Dems’ outdated act anymore. Even in blue California.
Leaders are supposed to supply options and discover compromises that get issues completed. Democrats provide nothing however outrage and protests and persons are sick of it.
From Politico:
California voters have Trump-resistance fatigue, ballot finds
California voters are much less eager on preventing Donald Trump than their state’s political elite.
In a twin survey of California voters and political professionals who’re driving the state’s agenda, the voters is strikingly extra more likely to need a detente with the White Home. Voters are additionally extra divided on points like immigration and local weather change, the place Gov. Gavin Newsom and Democratic state lawmakers have asserted progressive ambitions that rebuff the president’s agenda.
A plurality of voters is skeptical of authorized immigration, and fewer than half suppose the state ought to have the ability to set its personal strict requirements on car emissions, an authority California has used for greater than half a century.
The outcomes counsel a disconnect between the policymaking class and voters in an overwhelmingly blue state the place Trump made broad inroads in 2024 amid widespread frustrations over crime and a prohibitively excessive price of dwelling. Registered Democrats, nevertheless — who comprise almost half the voters — are extra captivated with progressive insurance policies and extra wanting to problem Trump’s Washington.
Ed Morrissey of Hot Air supplied an evidence for this:
This may replicate the popularity by voters — even in deep-blue California — of the mental and ethical chapter of La Résistance in both iteration. The primary time round, Democrats launched their “resistance” on the false declare that Trump gained workplace illegitimately by means of “Russia collusion.” Voters ultimately found that was a lie, and people who paid consideration now know that the lie got here from Hillary Clinton’s dirty-tricks crew and Barack Obama’s FBI.
This time round, there’s no query in any respect about legitimacy. Trump stomped Harris within the election and gained each the favored vote and the Electoral Faculty, the primary GOP candidate to take action in 20 years.
Democrats are already having fun with a traditionally low approval score. If they need it to sink even additional, they need to simply preserve doing what they’re doing.
