A huge challenge will be getting Latinos out to vote. We need a concerted campaign about mail-in ballots. I can just see ICE waiting at the polling places.

Mail in ballots are the only way to get this done

The cities in 40th read like a throwback to old OC: Brea, Yorba Linda, Coto, Anaheim Hills, Mission V, etc. It is no wonder that the only time she opposed the Trump agenda was in supporting the increase of the SALT deduction from 10K to 40K. I guess they drew Fullerton and some other more heterogenious cities out of the 40th since Gil was incumbent?

Nothing good can be written or said about Young Kim. Like Diane Dixon, they are placeholders. Mannequins.

This is the way forward. We MUST tie these repulsive cowards to the outcomes of their votes and lack of compassion for anything other than the maintenance of their own position. We’re steps from

living in a police state if we not there already. Young Kim and her lot should be booted from power. They are too cowardly to do what is right.

That photo needs to be the lead photo of the effort the kick her out. Isn’t it interesting that the country of her heritage ejected an authoritative coup, and in her family’s adopted country she is supporting Trump’s authoritative grab.

I don’t think this stops with Latinos. The Middle Eastern community is scared, too, even if they are fifth generation citizens!

I agree. A couple of things we can do: 1) drives to help people vote by mail; 2) escort citizens who feel threatened to polling places. I have a feeling that major raids will take place before and during election day to intimidate voters.

We also need to attack Young Kim on the economy and the BBB. Kim from the OC Register in February: "Tariffs often end up being a tax on the American consumer that will force families to stretch budgets even more and hurt the bottom line for small businesses as prices go up due to tariffs on imported goods. Tariffs imposed on our partners and allies often lead to retaliation, harming industries that sell their products abroad and strain important relationships." I call her office almost everyday. Sometimes I read that back to the interns and they don't have much to say. The tariffs will take some time to wreck the economy, but wreck it they will. Trump will replace Jerome Powell with a lackey in June 2026, when is term is up. That lackey will cut rates, which will likely supercharge inflation, making everything even worse.

I think the we focus on three things: the economy (tariffs, BBB, DOGE and his other idiotic policies that imapct the economy negatively), healthcare and SNAP cuts (BBB), and ICE terrorism. All three are pretty unpopular.

"Election Reform" as per Project 2025, will ensure that Trump will win again. A nationwide takeover via executive power. This is described in detail in Lev Parnas' Substack, Lev Remembers.
