California’s voters, blinded by hatred of Trump, keep empowering the corrupt coalition that’s driving the Golden State into decay, debt, and disorder.
“Stick it to Trump.” That is the strategy of the Democratic Party in California, and it’s working. For 28 years, the Democrats have controlled both houses of the state legislature, and apart from Schwarzenegger’s interlude from 2004 to 2010, there’s been a Democrat governor since 1999. Nothing seems likely to change; this month, California’s voters approved a redistricting plan that is expected to reduce the number of Republican U.S. Congressmen to four out of 52. Democratic dominance in California’s cities and counties is equally absolute.
And yet they’re not accountable. Democrats in California have perfected the art of persuasion with an electorate that for over two generations has been indoctrinated in public schools by teachers who themselves have been indoctrinated to hate capitalism, resent wealth, rebuke “whiteness,” and celebrate hedonism. All Democrat candidates have to say is “protect abortion,” “fight racism,” “climate emergency,” or “stop the Nazis,” and voter reaction is Pavlovian. Peak conditioning was achieved in the special election of 2025, when all they had to say was “stick it to Trump,” who they have turned into the biggest boogeyman since Hitler (someone who, just to be clear, really was a boogeyman).
So who are these Democrats? Who are the elites that have locked down the largest state in America, and who aspire to extend their dominion over the rest of America?
The figurehead, of course, is the suddenly pugilistic Gavin Newsom, a gifted politician and a terrible governor. His latest schtick is to throw out profanity and threats as if he’s the noirish reincarnation of a 1930s gangster. And in an intriguing twist, this phony act camouflages a genuine thug because the substance of Newsom and the machine he represents are crimes against the people of California, justified and sold with lies.
Newsom is the front man for a coalition of public sector unions, including the communist teachers union, radical environmentalists and their crony corporate backers, grifting “homeless advocates” and the politically connected and taxpayer subsidized developers who back them, a public sector bureaucracy that preys on law abiding people trying to run small businesses while deliberately ignoring an entire underground economy of illegal immigrants, trial attorneys and litigators who feed on private attorney general laws that empower them to exploit countless laws and regulations to extort money from honest people, addict enabling civil liberty extremists and the libertarian dupes who find common cause with them, tribal “nations” who extract billions from gambling addicts and exercise increasing veto power over anything anyone does anywhere in the “stolen” state, drug addicts, drug dealers, and drug cartels who control entire sections of California’s major cities and thousands of square miles of territory in California’s remote northern counties.
That’s who’s running California. That’s the coalition. It survives on synergy, and if not synergy, symbiosis. The political economy of California is not socialist; it’s fascist. Economic fascism whereby the largest corporations, the biggest unions, and powerful government agencies work in lockstep to eliminate competition, consolidate power and control, and maximize profits. Ideological fascism whereby the population is manipulated by continuous presentation of scapegoats and threats—Nazis and Nazism, racists and racism, sexists and sexism, climate deniers and the climate emergency. The list goes on, but you get the idea.
It’s too bad California’s voters don’t get out more. Take a drive down South Figueroa Boulevard in Central Los Angeles and have a look at the prostitutes who police can’t rescue from traffickers because it violates state laws. Drive through the Tenderloin in San Francisco and observe the blitzed-out fentanyl addicts and schizophrenics. Or to really experience an eye-opener, talk with members of law enforcement in Mendocino County in California’s remote north, and ask them how they intend to root out the illegal drug plantations and drug processing labs when they’ve got less than a dozen deputies to cover a county that spans 3,878 square miles. Ditto for Humboldt County and Siskiyou County.
In all of these hypothetical fact-finding drives and countless others, don’t stop. Don’t get out of your car. You are not in America anymore. You are traversing territory controlled by foreign gangs and their local affiliates, funded by hundreds of billions collected from addicts, at least those millions who are still alive, since over one million Americans have died from overdoses of illegal drugs just over the past decade. And while you’re at it, reflect on the fact that these foreign drug cartels receive logistical support from aspiring superpowers bent on destroying America.
California’s maladies ought to be patently obvious to its voters, but instead of recognizing that federal intervention is the only way we might have a hope of rooting international drug and human traffickers and foreign intelligence operatives out of our cities and sparsely populated areas, these voters hear a nonstop barrage of distracting propaganda from the coalition. It is unrelenting and scientifically tested for effect. It sounds simple, but it works: “President Trump wants to be a dictator, and he’s throwing away the Constitution.” No. He doesn’t, and no, he isn’t. And every year we wait to try to reassert control of our state, the evil infiltration of the “coalition” proceeds deeper into its vacuous, grifting heart.
What ought to be perfectly clear to Californian voters is that we are losing our state. Where do California’s voters think all that money from trafficking, prostitution, gambling, and drug profits goes? Their wealth accumulates, and they hire armies. These armies aren’t just a small gang of goons. These armies have thousands of soldiers, including experienced mercenaries and assassins, sophisticated attorneys and accountants, chemists and engineers, police, and politicians.
Keep it up, California. Keep listening to the dangerous clowns who lead the ruling coalition. Let them destroy the oil industry until there are lines for gasoline and the price goes from $5/gallon to $10/gallon. Let them shut down natural gas and nuclear-fueled power plants at the same time as EVs and AI are rolling out, so there are brownouts and blackouts, and electricity rises from $.30/kWh to $.60/kWh. And while they laugh all the way to the bank as you pay four times the national average price for gasoline and electricity, remember it’s because of the “climate emergency.”
Keep it up, California. Keep pretending that “reparations” in the form of affirmative action, contract preferences, and hiring quotas weren’t enough, as if they did anything but harm the people they were intended to help anyway. Go ahead and accept that now taxpayers have to shell out additional billions of dollars to descendants of African slaves and indigenous “first peoples.” Keep on sitting still, silent, and obedient, while yet another coalition hack precedes a public meeting with a “stolen land acknowledgement.” When liberal, Democrat-appointed, paid-for judges uphold transfers of land and gifts of cash to self-proclaimed tribes that the federal government doesn’t even recognize, remember you allowed the precedent to be set every time one of your nitwit coalition politicians opened a public meeting with a stolen land acknowledgement.
More to the point, as the state races to set aside 30 percent of all land to either belong to “first peoples,” government wilderness reserves, or nature conservancies managed by NGOs, remember that 94 percent of California’s population lives on only five percent of the state’s land area. Remember that developers and investors are routinely denied permits to build homes, reservoirs, and roads or develop practical sources of energy, and remember that all of this is why the average home in California costs over $800,000. Who then, in this enlightened new century, is being herded onto reservations?
California’s thoroughly conditioned voters can keep up their delusions of righteousness until the entire system fails, as all systems that are built on corruption must. They can retain their smug hatred of conservative Republicans until the price of gas immobilizes millions, the state declares insolvency, and the suddenly bereft beneficiaries of free everything pour out of their state-subsidized, crime-ridden, dilapidated, and decaying “affordable housing” and loot everything in sight. Until that day, California’s progressives can indulge their anti-fascist fascist fantasies, believing in the inevitable triumph of their passions with the same fervor that animated the stormtroopers basking in Nuremberg’s Cathedrals of Light. They, too, were so sure of themselves until bombs started falling like rain.
There’s something that Californians who fervently support the state’s disenfranchising, downwardly mobile, ongoing excursion into degeneracy will have to face. Things will not get worse forever. California’s voters have rejected rational recognition of policies running amok to enrich a deceitful coalition of elites. They have instead chosen an all-consuming righteous hatred of MAGA and all the previous iterations of right-wing scapegoats for which MAGA is merely the apotheosis. For a generation, voter denial of common sense in favor of self-righteous hate has sustained an elite coalition that has nothing but contempt for the generations of hard-working Californians who built the state and even now keep it afloat.
Economic reality will dismantle this dysfunctional political consensus. The coalition could fracture explosively, with the most powerful functioning remnants also the most lawless and deadly. This is what California’s voters flirt with, as they vote for financially unsustainable, character-destroying nonsense in the name of compassion and anti-fascism. The depth of irony at work here is historic in scope. If chaos erupts in California, spreading out of the current no-go zones of the inner cities and coming down from remote mountains, armed, desperate, and ruthless, what suspension of civil liberties would then become necessary to restore order and ensure safety?
The alternative is to restore common-sense government today, if it’s not too late. But judging from the results on November 4, common sense and California’s electorate are still worlds apart.

I am so happy I don’t have to travel to California for business anymore.
It was pathetic that Newsome celebrated the prop 50 win as if it was ever in doubt. CA hasn’t had a fair election in decades.
The urban elites believe nobody can speak but themselves. It’s the idea of Bolsheviks. Shut the voices from those who oppose them.
In a way, this is exactly what the Founding Fathers intended. Each state was meant to be sovereign — free to make its own laws and govern itself according to the will of its people. That’s the essence of our federal system.
This is what democracy produces: winner takes all. When one party dominates, its vision shapes the state. We may not agree with the government California voters have chosen or the policies they enact, but it remains the right of those voters to decide their own course.
What still sets the United States apart is that we are a union of states, not a single, centralized authority. If the governance or values of one state no longer align with our own, we retain the freedom to move to another that does. That mobility — both political and personal — is one of the great safeguards built into the American system.
They don’t just hate Trump, they hate everyone who would even consider voting R. I’m firmly convinced that the left would be happy to see the likes of me rounded up and sent to camps.
Generally decent article, but this statement not so true:
“Democratic dominance in California’s cities and counties is equally absolute.”
Plenty of counties (26 out of 58) voted “No” on Prop. 50, and a vast land area voted for PDJT:

5.6 million Republicans in CA w/o adequate representation (taxation w/o representation).

One year from now the Democrats will control both the House and Senate and undo everything Trump has accomplished. And the fake republicans will help them override Trump’s vetos.
When honest elections are forced on California’s governing elites, we’ll know the true extent of the hate. End the filibuster and make it happen.
I’ve got a step sister that grew up and went to school here in North Florida.....after obtaining her nursing degree in the 80s she decided to move to northern California for some reason.
A couple years ago she was planning to come back for Thanksgiving but told the family she wouldn’t come unless everyone in attendance at Thanksgiving dinner wore a covid mask.
Of course none of us agreed to that so she didn’t come.
She also gets drunk and calls my stepmother and step brother to rail against President Trump.
That is an example of the absolute insanity of many people in California.
Conservatives can wring our hands over what California did or the Virginia AG election and cry about how horrible it is and how “hate” won. But we better have a response. This is what the Left will do if they dominate the politics of a state. No rules, no mercy. Just raw power to beat their opponents into submission. Crying about it may give us some moral comfort but it won’t stop the Left.
I’m just glad the left has pretty much gerrymandered their states so they practically only have a few left. Although, we definitely gerrymandered red states, we have a little more room to do even more.
Like Cook county, Illinois and NYC, the democrat primary is the election in CA.
They want this for the entire country. Democrats hate democracy.
That’s a paradox? No. Democrats are fascists. SEE: the Turning Point rally in Berkeley.
They want to strip Americans of our bill of rights, if they can. They are no different from Nazis and antifa in early ‘30s Germany.
California’s population is diverse, with no single racial or ethnic group making up a majority. ***The largest groups are Latino (around 40%)***, followed by White (around 34%), and Asian (around 16%). Other groups include Black or African American (around 6%), multiracial (around 3%), and American Indian/Alaska Native (fewer than 1%).
Free things from the tax payer is the democrats plan that works.
I would laugh my butt of if the Supreme Court stuck it down on some technically while letting the redistricting in places like Texas stand.
it is genuinely amazing just how brainwashed and disassociated some on the left are
they actually believe their bs (and are apparently incapable of reasoning their way to any more realistic understandings)
it is, as has been observed, a severe mental illness (a deliberately induced and inculcated one, to be sure)
You're correct, but only if the camps are extermination camps like Auschwitz. The socialist voters would like nothing better than have the government confiscate the wealth of all MAGA voters (for distribution to the welfare parasites) and said MAGA supporters rounded up, gassed and cremated.
To be successful in a capitalistic society you have to work hard, develop skills (and screwing out babies doesn't count as a skill) that people want, save and invest instead of spending every penny you get on lifestyle and then financing additional fun stuff with debt, etc, This DOES NOT APPEAL to the entitled generation who have grown up without any real poverty or stress. It also does not appeal to the third world shitholers who come here to get away from having to work for a living and to suck welfare from the taxpayer funded public trough.
The appeal of socialism is that (supposedly) you get stuff without having to work for it. Can't possible work because stuff and services have to come from someplace, and unless you have slave labor someone has to get paid. "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need" doesn't even sound viable the first time you hear it and it doesn't get any better with repetition.
When does the civil war start?
I need more ammo!
California needs to be split into two states. Everything West of the Coastal Range and N of Orange County would be leftist W California..or San Angeles. Everything else would be centrist or slightly conservative E California. Don’t know what they would do with Sacramento.
