Midway through this summer, a high-quality poll found that Democrats in California were overwhelmingly in favor of the upcoming ballot measure for a one-time 5% tax on billionaire wealth.

The ratio was more than 4 to 1. But the state’s most powerful Democrats – including the governor Gavin Newsom, his near-certain successor Xavier Becerra and the Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass – have lined up with Silicon Valley billionaires who’ve raised upward of $340m to defeat the initiative.

    RepubliCrats united. Now and forever.

    What we want is what’s happening in France and Germany. Americans need the big showdown between us and the police. Push them out of our cities and towns. Leave them with nowhere to go. Recall and reform the government.

    Notice the age group of the situation in France. If American kids went into the streets and fought to end the uniparty’s grip on their futures then this country would begin to heal.

    I would love to see this fascist state broken to pieces.
