Newton’s third law applies to politics too. When one side pushes too hard on an issue, the other side will react more aggressively.

California swung nearly 10 points toward the red in a recent election. The state, long a bastion of liberal dominance, has sent a clear message: enough is enough.

The catalyst? A controversial law incorporating “gender affirmation” into child custody disputes. Critics argue it goes too far, prioritizing ideology over parental rights. This legislation became a lightning rod, igniting a backlash that resonated across the state.

Voter sentiment was undeniable. Key blue districts turned red, with Republican candidates making double-digit gains. “Families are saying ‘stop pushing extreme policies,’” a local commentator said.

California’s shift underscores a broader national trend. When progressive policies push too far, even in deep blue territory, voters push back.
