Californians are not completely stupid. They keep giving up Democrats for president but when they get sick of their taxes being raised, they elect a

Republican Governor.

I don’t think that’s the main reason for the recall. It was prompted mainly by Newsom’s pandemic response and his illicit dinner party. I don’t think Elder is going to become governor either.

@SW-User The dinner party wasn't even illicit. It followed Napa county's rules.

@SW-User It was a paid effort. Companies were paid to go around and collect a number of signatures. The same thing was done in 2003.

Some people were upset with the initial pandemic response, but as the nation learned how to deal with it, it got better. California is now 1 of 3 states that are no longer on the CDC list of infectious states. All 47 other states remain there.
