Why does half of America vote for such horrible things?

 "In those days Israel had no king; all the people did whatever seemed right in their own eyes" (Judges 21:25).  My fear is that America may soon want an actual king to fill civilization's incoherent void.  

American Thinker  "My wife and I passed some people relaxing on their porch here in California. I wondered how long their "NO RECALL" sign would grace their railing.  They are happy, I assume, that Gavin Newsom is still in office.

"But why are they happy?  What is so truly scary to those Newsom-supporters that they can't imagine him not being in office?  Is it that without Newsom, the homeless population might go down?  Is it that the tax burden might get reduced?  Is it that too many hardcore felons will remain in prison?  Is it that California forests haven't yet been completely consumed?  Maybe health care needs to be dismantled and defunded, just like the L.A. police, and then rebuilt from the ground up.  Do they like Newsom because he sees illegal immigration as the best way to accomplish that by overwhelming the state's health care resources?  (My wife and I spent nine hours in the emergency room the other night, and we were disappointed that it didn't take longer.)  Or maybe it's just that water shortages need to be more severe?  Whatever the reason, Gavin Newsom needed a second chance to make California worse. 

"Let's leave ballot cheating accusations out of it.  There are too many people who actually voted not to recall Gavin Newsom.  I know California is its own call of the wild, but nationally, too many people also lined up to cast votes for Biden, Pal Joey, that guy from down under, that basement down in Pennsylvania.  What is it about Democrats that they love what their politicians utter but couldn't care less what they do?  It's as Jeremiah said: "Every [m]an's words shall be [h]is own burden," 23:36.  What burden?  Democrats seem not to notice any connection whatsoever between the increasing discomforts of living in America and the policies of their chosen leaders.  I know that Biden's approval rating is way down, but even after that "righteous hit" of General Milley's blew up the truck loaded with terrorist water containers and seven children, Biden still has supporters.". . .  

Case in point: San Francisco's mayor Breed highlights the elite's disdain for their own rules -    ..."Bottom line: Because Breed's important, when she has fun, the rules just don't apply.  Tough luck to all you other losers, because you can bet that you'll get in trouble for flouting London's rules."

My Going Maskless Is Different, Says San Francisco Mayor, Because 'I Was Feeling the Spirit' | National Review
..."Under the current rules, my three-year-old has to wear a mask when traveling on airplanes. Like many children, he, too, likes to dance when he feels the spirit. And, like many children, he, too, is less than fond of the fun police. But do you know who cares about any of that? Nobody, that’s who. As I write, millions of American kids are on their way to school with masks strapped over their faces — a fact of which London Breed’s political party not only approves, but is willing to sue in order to universalize. If, as Breed implies, these rules represent unnecessary and intrusive micromanagement that can’t possibly survive contact with reality, then maybe we should do the obvious thing, and blow them all up?"
