That sounds like a prescription for anarchy to me. The breakdown in political will, political and institutional control. Not living in California, I have no idea what has caused this breakdown, only I’d suspect the massive influx of illegals and their vocal activists has played a part.
Lastly,over the last twenty to thirty years a coalition of blacks, homosexuals, Non-Christians, Mexicans and Asians formed for the purpose of " their rights" and began to gain control-(Translation oust the whites and seize the wealth!) ( For an example illustrating a coalition exists I give the following from the Sacramento Bee Report Dated June 24, 2010: " Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, joined Latino, Asian, black and gay lawmakers outside the Capitol in support of the resolution." [Sacramento BEE , June 24, 2010 Susan Ferris][Resolution was the Boycott of Arizona]"
It is truly a growing mess out here. My wife and I have been thinking of leaving over the last few years as our last child has now "flown the nest."
“Not living in California, I have no idea what has caused this breakdown”
I presume you live in America, though. You had no idea your country’s southern border was abrogated? You were unaware that your country was invaded, colonized, and a significant chunk ceded to a foreign country — utterly unopposed and undefended by the other 49 states?
Really? You “have no idea” what caused this breakdown?
