The left's California dream is a nightmare
In the latest example of the disconnect between the elite left and real Americans, a January headline in the Los Angeles Times read: “Make America California Again? That’s Biden’s Plan.”
According to the newspaper, “California is emerging as the de facto policy think tank of the Biden-Harris administration and of a congress soon to be under Democratic control.”
The influence that California has on the elite left in Washington is profound. As the Los Angeles Times wrote, “There is no place the incoming administration is leaning on more heavily for inspiration in setting a progressive policy agenda.”
It is nothing short of delusional to look to California as a model for the United States. How could the California model of progressive, big-government, high-tax politics work for America, when it is not even working for Californians?
While the elite Los Angeles Times celebrates that new administration “is embracing some of California’s most pioneering initiatives,” there is a massive effort underway throughout the state to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom. Organizers and groups such as Rescue California have collected more than 1.5 million signatures — the number needed to trigger a recall election. These signatures need to be verified, so the organizers aim to collect at least 1.8 million by the mid-March deadline. --->READ MORE HERE
On this episode of “The Federalist Radio Hour,” Rescue California campaign manager Anne Dunsmore joins The Federalist’s Western Correspondent Tristan Justice and Staff Writer Jordan Davidson to discuss a nonpartisan, citizen-driven campaign to recall California Gov. Gavin Newsom after a year of his strict COVID-19 lockdowns and blatant political hypocrisy.
“This is a citizen movement, this is not a political movement,” Dunsmore explained, noting that Newsom’s reliance on “political science” instead of “real science” frustrated and provoked people on both sides of the aisle during the pandemic. “We’re pursuing a political process to fix the problem for sure, but this isn’t a Trump versus Biden thing.”
Dunsmore said it was Newsom’s politically motivated actions instead of solution-motivated actions that created an irreconcilable difference between him and more than 1.4 million of his constituents who signed the petition to kick him out of office. --->READ MORE HEREFollow link below to a related story:
