CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY NOVEMBER 6, 2025
IT WAS A WIPEOUT. WHAT WE ARE SEEING IS A GENERATIONAL SHIFT. YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TAUGHT IN THEIR SCHOOLS THAT CAPITALISM IS BAD, SOCIALISM IS GOOD, RICH PEOPLE ARE EVIL AND SHOULD BE TAXED AT A HIGHER RATE SO THE WEALTH CAN BE “SPREAD AROUND” AS BARACK OBAMA ONCE SAID.
THIS IS NOT THE AMERICA I GREW UP IN. THEN, IT WAS INSPIRATION, FOLLOWED BY MOTIVATION AND PERSPIRATION. NOW IT’S ENVY, GREED AND ENTITLEMENT.
THERE ARE MANY REASONS REPUBLICANS DID NOT DO WELL IN TUESDAY’S ELECTIONS. PART OF IT IS THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN, PRESIDENT TRUMP’S DECLINING APPROVAL RATINGS, AND A LACK OF AN IDEOLOGICAL CENTER FOR MANY VOTERS. HOW COULD VOTERS IN VIRGINIA ELECT GOVERNOR GLENN YOUNGKIN, A CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN FOUR YEARS AGO, AND THIS TIME ELECT A LEFT-WING DEMOCRAT, ABIGAL SPANBERGER?
IN CALIFORNIA, PROPOSITION 50 PASSED, ALLOWING THE DEMOCRAT LEGISLATURE TO RE-DRAW CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS THAT WILL GUARANTEE NO REPUBLICAN GETS ELECTED TO CONGRESS. THIS IN RESPONSE TO WHAT TEXAS DID. IT’S A BAD PRECEDENT.
NOW LET’S SEE IF THOSE 700 THOUSAND PEOPLE WHO SAID THEY WOULD LEAVE NEW YORK IF ZOHRAN MAMDANI WON, FOLLOW THROUGH. I’M CAL THOMAS.
