Gov. Ron DeSantis to Newsmax: GOP Must End 'Californication of America'
Newsmax ^ | December 3, 2023 | Eric Mack

Posted on 12/03/2023 10:07:05 AM PST by Navy Patriot

Picking up momentum from his debate against California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom, Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis told Newsmax that exposing Democratic governance is a key way to advance the Republican Party's narrative before the 2024 election.

"If you look at what California does, they're the petri dish of American leftism," DeSantis told "Saturday Agenda" host Rob Astorino, who was once the GOP gubernatorial nominee in the second-largest blue state of New York. "They're five years ahead of where [President Joe] Biden and people in D.C. and the national Democratic Party are, but you can bet your bottom dollar that the Democratic Party is going to go in the direction nationally that California has done in that state.

"And so that means accelerating this country's decline. It means kneecapping our energy production. It means higher prices for people. It means an open border. It means higher crime. It will destroy this country if we allow the Californication of America.

"Florida shows the opposite. Florida shows conservative principles work, that freedom should reign supreme, and that you could have unprecedented success like we've enjoyed since I've been governor."

Get back to me when he washes his hands of the Globalists, NeoCons, and GOP-E that have funded his campaign and back him completely.

By abrogating Federal law, California resigned from America

California is California, not America

I’ll take it if DeSantis destroys “Californication” in America, and I vote President Trump back into the White House.

My cousin moved away to California when we were still young

I saw her again in the 70’s, we were teenagers. I couldn’t stand to be in the same room with her. SO full of s%#t!! She sounded like People magazine and every other crap magazine you ever heard of. Everything about her and what she said was trite, artificial and self-conscious.

She reminds me of Meghan Markle.... everything that’s wrong with California ... all wrapped up in ONE person

Fifty years ago there were a lot of "Don't Californicate Oregon" bumper stickers all over Klamath falls.

Yes, there were.

They referred to the worthless dope smoking Hippies and their Pot suppliers that were moving in droves to Oregon, Washington and Canada bringing their Degenerate Narcotics Growing, Trafficking and Draft Dodging to those rural areas, destroying them with crime and violence.

Unfortunately those Degenerates succeeded beyond their wildest expectations and became American Prog Socialist Democrats, the most Vile Criminals in the history of the US.

That bumper sticker message was the reason I posted this thread, I was there.

I went through Klamath Falls a couple years ago. Seemed like a very quiet town. Too quiet. For all the businesses I’d have expected more activity.

“Like John Bolton, Christopher Wray, Bill Barr, Jeff Sessions, Mark Milley, Mike Pence etc ?”

And Nikki Haley. Nikki who was put on the world stage by someone who didn't understand what he was doing; this despite her unsettling background.

As someone who has repeatedly professed that he was against the deep state, he certainly appointed, nominated, and embraced members of the deep state.
