Either the GOP finally became sane or Trump is still in power and we become a dictatorship

[ChiefFireWaterMike]

Oh that's my dream, jesus

[OSR stands with Israel]

Reaganite California is back !!!!!!!!!!

[Chips]

Reagan's ghost is the GOP nominee. Sweeps every single state in the country.

Not happening, there is no way that San Mateo or Marin County vote Republican, same with Imperial. San Diego could happen in a gubernatorial/row office race, but not a federal one. The chance of this happening is 0%.

Why is Imperial County less likely to vote Republican than Santa Barbara given recent trends. Obviously, neither will vote Republican but Imperial could vote to the right of Santa Babara

Imperial was just one that stuck out and was at the top of my mind, but basically there are a bunch of counties here that are not voting Republican anytime soon in red

[ηєω ƒяσηтιєя]

LOL, the ghosts of Ronald Reagan/Richard Nixon/George Deukmejian switched votes from the Democratic nominee to the GOP nominee.

[GlobeSoc]

massive disenfranchisement or intimidation

[Real Texan Politics]

Somehow our life is a lie and we're actually in 1984.

[Alcibiades]

Majority Republican Marin is a particularly nice touch.

[Bootes Void]

Maybe America became a socialist county with 80% taxes and all the limousine liberals in Marin and wine country became republicans

[Figueira]

Plot twist: what if these are Atlas colors?

[The Right Honourable Martin Brian Mulroney PC CC GOQ]

Simple--a 50-state Republican landslide with atlas colours reversed

[S019]

Plot twist: what if these are Atlas colors?

Then the question becomes how in the world did a Republican win San Francisco while losing places like Kern County

[Crumpets]

BS map. LA and SF are clearly trending R, as the results of 2020 showed. No way do they vote to the left of the state as a whole in 2024.

Well obviously. But that makes almost as much sense as the normal interpretation of this map.

[The Right Honourable Martin Brian Mulroney PC CC GOQ]

Guys we're missing the most obvious explanation here:

SCENE: Christmas party in Sacramento for the state legislators, 2022. Governor Newsom has had a few too many Vodka Crans. He's talking to the GOP assembly leader Marie Waldron, mildly gloating about his re-election:

Waldron: "We thought we had you for a second there, when Rasmussen had you tied with Faulconer in September"

Newsom: "Oh, you really believed that? *hiccup* Come on now, this is California. There's no way you guys can win statewide anytime soon"

Waldron: "Really? There's no way?"

Newsom: "Nope, I could have stood in the middle of Hollywood Blvd and shot somebody, and I wouldn't have lost re-election"

*both laugh*

Waldron: "So you're telling me no Democrat could lose here, even if we made it so that Democratic precincts can only have one voting booth, while all the Republican precincts have a voting booth for every household?"

Newsom: "Yeah, I guess that's what I'm saying."

Waldron: *laughs* "Well if you wanna test that theory, we'll table the bill. Let's go convince your party leadership to go along with it, we'll get to see in 2024."

Newsom: "You're on"

*They walk to the table where the state Democratic leadership is seated*

Newsom: "So Marie and I made this bet..."

*The dems go along with it, somehow*


SCENE: The governor's mansion in Sacramento, election night 2024. Newsom watches the election night coverage. Biden/Harris are on track to get 270, assuming the entire west coast holds.

Wolf Blitzer: "It's 11 PM on the east coast, and we have polls closing in California, Oregon, and Washington. And we can project that Washington will give its 10 electoral votes to President Biden, Oregon we can project for Biden no surprise there, and California--wait that can't be right--nope, I'm hearing from the decision desk that currently the race in California is too close to call. Let's go to John King at the magic wall"

*A cold sweat rolls down Newsom's forehead*

John King: "That's right Wolf, what we're seeing right now in California is that it's too close to call. Take a look at San Mateo county here, in the Bay Area. One of the safest Democratic counties in the nation, as you can see here, Donald Trump is in the lead and turnout is extremely low."

*Newsom's shirt is now drenched in sweat*

Wolf Blitzer: "Fascinating John, and--*listens in to his earpiece*--we're hearing now about some serious voting irregularities in California, with Democratic precincts getting only one voting booth each, lines that lasted for hours. We're hearing that somewhere between 40-60% of the voters in these areas who lined up, left in frustration. So it seems like apart from the most safe Democratic counties, we're going to see a red California tonight."

*Newsom stares at the screen in disbelief. His ears are ringing, he doesn't hear the TV anymore. He looks at the screen, eyes wide open*

Wolf Blitzer: "And we can project now that the state of California will award its 55 electoral votes to former president Donald J. Trump."

Newsom: *whispering* F---

*Newsom grabs a few clothes, stuffs it in a tote bag, puts on a fake beard and sunglasses, and bolts out of his house*


SCENE: A bank in Sacramento

Bank Teller: "May I have your account number?"

Newsom: "*********"

Bank Teller: "Sure, let me just type it in--uhm, Gavin Christopher Newsom?"

Newsom: "Yeah, I have the same name as the governor. Complete coincidence"

Bank Teller: *nervously* "Haha I see, and what kind of transaction did you want to perform?"

Newsom: "Transfer all my money to a different account under BBVA Mexico, then delete my current account"

Bank Teller: *even more nervously* "Uhhh okay"


SCENE: A back alley in Tijuana

Shady man in a suit: "Okay Mr Newsom, here's your $500,000 in cash tranferred to me...I took 10% commission, of course"

Newsom: "Thanks Rodrigo, I'll take it from here"

Rodrigo: "So...what are you going to do now?"

Newsom: "There's a ranch for sale down in Chihuahua, I've made a deal to buy it"


Gavin Newsom now lives in a ranch under his fake identity, Johnny Hamburger. Nobody knows who he is, people just call him "el vaquero gringo".

Might as well dredge out my map from my old topic. https://talkelections.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=401763.msg7626336#msg7626336

Maybe if the 2024 Republican candidate is from the California Central Valley and the country is in a great depression?
(Obviously won't happen lol)

[Interlocutor is just not there yet]

I'd wanna know the explanation for how/why Santa Cruz flipped to the GOP
