in California in the aftermath of Wilson's strong support for Proposition 187 which killed Wilson's 1996 Presidential run in the Republican Nazi Party. These racist Dumbfucks in the Republican Nazi Party never learn!

Alienated Latino Voters: Prop 187 was widely perceived as anti-immigrant and racist, particularly by the Latino community. This significantly hurt the Republican Party's image and led to a long-term shift of Latino voters towards the Democratic Party.
Shifted the State's Political Landscape: The measure is considered a major factor in California's transformation from a swing state to a reliably Democratic one.
Continued Legacy of Division: The sentiments behind Prop 187 continue to be a source of division within the Republican Party and have been echoed in national immigration debates.
