Are COVID Politics Starting To Favor Democrat Politics In California?

September 14, 2021 – 7:47 am

This is a very weird article from Yahoo News, rather putting into stark relief that a goodly chunk of everything Chinese corornavirus is about politics, not science

With Newsom poised to win California recall, another indication COVID politics may be starting to favor Democrats over Republicans

With polls now showing Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom ahead by double-digit margins on the eve of California’s much-hyped recall election, voters here seem ready to reject the laissez-faire COVID-19 policies that have failed to contain huge summer surges in Republican-led states such as Florida — and vindicate the Golden State’s more careful approach to the hypercontagious Delta variant.

Their verdict could have national implications for both Democrats and Republicans heading into the 2022 midterm elections.

“No Republican running for governor could possibly have defeated Gavin Newsom in the recall election, but COVID could have,” Dan Schnur, a former spokesman for Republican former California Gov. Pete Wilson and the late GOP Sen. John McCain who teaches politics at several leading California universities, recently said on Yahoo News’ “Skullduggery” podcast. “The reason it’s not is because voters here have come to conclude that he is doing a much better job on it than they’d thought last spring and last winter.”

So if Newsom does win, Schnur added, “every smart Democratic candidate running in next year’s midterms is going to be looking to take that playbook and run it for themselves.”

The thing is, as I’ve said before, Newsome was not as dictatorial as many governors when it came to COVID restrictions. It was actually the cities and counties in California which ran wild and overdid it. The guy who was arrested while paddleboarding alone was in full compliance with Newsome’s order that allowed exercise even with the stay at home order. It was the LA County Sheriff’s Office which went loony tunes with the LA County order. Of course, many of his other orders were extreme in what businesses could be open and which couldn’t, but, this occurred in Republican run states, too.

Regardless, this is all about politics, as the article shows

More voters say COVID is the most important issue facing the state than anything else, according to a new poll from the Public Policy Institute of California.

Those numbers mirror national trends. Majorities of Americans have consistently said they approve of how Biden has handled the pandemic, according to recent Yahoo News/YouGov polling, giving him higher marks than on other issues. And an August Yahoo News/YouGov poll showed that just 41 percent of Americans blame the Biden administration for “the new surge of COVID cases in the U.S.,” versus 67 percent who blame “Americans who refuse to wear masks and take other precautions” and 66 percent who blame “unvaccinated Americans.” As a result, 56 percent say the U.S. should be lifting coronavirus restrictions more slowly “given the emergence of the Delta variant”; just 12 percent say restrictions should be lifted more quickly.

Well, there are a lot of idiots in this country who have been brainwashed into believing masks work, vaccines only work if everyone has taken one, and that government should dictate how we live our lives. All while the elites fail to practice what they preach

The live feed for that Met Gala came up in my Twitter timeline, and there are a lot of people not wearing masks. Even the hosts weren’t wearing masks

It’s mask theater, and it’s perfectly fine for the elites to not wear masks.

Yes, they’re outside, but, no social distancing, and Newsome’s orders were always about wearing a mask when you aren’t social distancing.
