| California Dems Show Us the Future. Run For Your Lives. |

| [Townhall] In this column, I will prove that Democrats: 1) Don't care about "Russians," (Ukrainians?) or anyone else interfering with our democracy; and 2) they also don't give a crap about guns. Let's begin by looking at the Democrats' Platonic ideal of a democracy: California! California is wholly controlled by the Democratic Party. The governor is a Democrat. The lieutenant governor is a Democrat. The attorney general, secretary of state and treasurer are Democrats. All these positions have been held by Democrats since the governorship of Arnold Schwarzenegger (who was a Democrat). The state Senate is just under two-thirds Democratic, while the assembly is more than two-thirds Democratic. Both U.S. senators are Democrats, as are 46 of 53 members of Congress. And what a paradise they've created! For the last several years, with a direct pipeline to the fifth-largest treasury on the planet, California has been waging war on decent people in favor of drug addicts, the mentally ill, criminals, the homeless and transgenders. In the last century, every great thing started in California: surfing, jeans, Disneyland, tax revolts, McDonald's, movies, car culture, the Grateful Dead, right on red turns, Merle Haggard, skateboarding, Apple computer and the last two elected Republican presidents not named "Bush." Big political movements used to begin in California. Proposition 13's cap on property taxes led to President Ronald Reagan and a nationwide tax revolt. Proposition 209's ban on affirmative action was followed by Supreme Court rulings restricting the government's ability to discriminate on the basis of race. California's anti-crime rebellion, including a massive prison expansion and the voters' removal of liberal lunatic Rose Bird from the state's highest court, foreshadowed an anti-crime pushback across the country. |

| #5 Almost unbelievable to consider that, as late as the early 1990's, California was a competitive state with a long history of Republican governors and state officials. Yes, it can happen to Texas. It will happen to Texas unless we get control of the border and end the amnesty & sanctuary city madness. |

| #4 ^ Very right. Texas is in their crosshairs. Remember the antifa poster about Texas ? The recruitment rally ? If the orders come from the DNC, then it stands to reason, that the plan for Texas was being initiated right then and antifa were just the terriers. A test vehicle ? In Texas they'll have to be extra careful they must have realized. |

| #3 This is what happens when you fail to control the border and illegal immigration. California demographics have changed radically in the past few decades. It could happen to your state too and I don't care which state is yours. It could happen anywhere but my guess is that Texas is being targeted. When Texas turns blue the game is over and we lose. |

| #2 California is wholly controlled by the Democratic Party. By design. They want a single party system like any authoritarian or totalitarian. You exist to server them. Everything in the Party, Nothing outside the Party, Nothing against the Party. |
