Nine reasons Democrats are doomed to stay in the political wilderness

Democrats are wandering astir successful the governmental wilderness: lost, desperate--and blaming each other. The latest people of their rage is Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., who committed the unforgivable transgression of "helping Trump," hatred of the president being the lone acceptable posture successful leftist circles these days.

The 1 happening Democrats look incapable to travel to presumption with is the existent origin of their problems: the leftward ideological lurch that has alienated them from regular Americans.

I constitute astir this successful my caller book, "Califailure: Reversing the Ruin of America’s Worst Run State." That’s due to the fact that California represents today’s Democratic Party amended than anyplace other successful America.

Democrats person had implicit power of authorities authorities for astir 2 decades. California -- Califailure -- is what you get erstwhile Democrats get everything they want.

Here’s what we got: the worst poorness complaint successful America, the highest unemployment, worst concern climate, worst homelessness (by far), highest costs for each household indispensable -- housing, gas, electricity, h2o -- each with the highest taxes too! 

The California Dream is retired of reach, transgression is retired of power and the occurrence hydrants are retired of water.

The Los Angeles wildfire catastrophe brought it each into stark relief. Why connected world wasn’t the brushwood cleared from hillsides, adjacent though section residents warned it was a tinderbox? Why was the h2o strategy truthful appallingly managed?The reply comes down to 1 word: "Climatism." It’s the connection I usage in "Califailure" to picture the utmost environmentalism that justifies an endless bid of insane and counterproductive policies due to the fact that they supposedly beforehand "climate goals."

Climatism is much than a policy. It’s a pathology, an ideological sickness that has infected California Democrat politicians. It’s wherefore they’re shutting down our vigor manufacture lone to import astir of the lipid and state we usage from halfway circular the satellite connected elephantine supertankers.

They don’t attraction that this actually increases carbon emissions. As agelong arsenic they look similar they’re "waging warfare connected fossil fuels," it’s fine. Not practical, but pathological.

Climatism is 1 of 9 pathologies I place in "Califailure." Democrats won’t get backmost connected way unless they admit the pathologies, too, and forcefully disown them.

There is elitism, which we saw truthful appallingly and cruelly applied during the pandemic, with "rules for thee but not for me," nationalist schools closed portion the elites’ backstage schools stayed open. The radical astir wounded by Democratic Party policies are the moving class, but Democrat politicians don’t attraction arsenic agelong arsenic they tin glow successful their smug motivation superiority. 

Which brings america to narcissism: person you noticed however Democrat politicians perpetually brag astir however they’re "leading" the combat for this oregon that ideological obsession? "Climate justice," race, gender, equity, connected and on…it’s ever astir them, ne'er astir us. They privation to look virtuous successful the eyes of their activists, careless of the interaction connected regular moving people. But there’s thing virtuous astir it.

What astir cronyism? Of course, determination has ever been corruption successful politics. But California Democrats person taken it to a full caller level. The enactment is fundamentally owned by authorities unions and proceedings lawyers, who get argumentation favors successful speech for their governmental donations.

And that’s what produces socialism: the elephantine bloat of Big Government, the fund of the authorities of California practically doubling successful the past 10 years, aft inflation, adjacent arsenic our colonisation falls and everything gets worse. We are the astir over-governed, over-legislated, over-litigated authorities successful America. Where does each our wealth go? Into the pockets of the unions and the lawyers who money the Democrat politicians.

Allied to socialism, of course, is bureaucratism -- the insane morass of nanny authorities bossiness pouring retired of Sacramento’s alphabet crockery of unaccountable bureaucratic agencies -- CARB (the California Air Resources Board) pushing destructive mandates to prohibition state cars, stoves, everything…the Water Resources Control Board actively destroying our large agriculture industry. Try moving a concern successful California -- it’s an implicit nightmare of bureaucratic harassment.

If you effort to talk retired against it of course, you’re deed with Maoism -- the silencing of immoderate views extracurricular the ideological orthodoxy. Just look astatine the absorption erstwhile Gov. Gavin Newsom dared to suggest it was "unfair" for biologic men to vie successful girls’ sports. No uncertainty that’s wherefore he’s not actually doing anything astir it, showing however hollow his caller words were.

One of the astir disposable symbols of Califailure is our state’s homelessness crisis: we person conscionable implicit 10% of America’s colonisation but astir 50% of the unsheltered stateless population. Democrats passed a instrumentality to marque it amerciable to necessitate thoroughfare addicts to get cause oregon intoxicant treatment, oregon occupation grooming services. This is pathological compassionism, wanting to look compassionate portion doing things that are unspeakably cruel.

And then, successful galore ways, there's the defining pathology of the California Democrat machine: Incompetism. (I know, it’s not truly a word…) But however other bash we seizure the epic standard of their screw-ups? This is beyond specified ineptitude. It’s a pathological content that nevertheless incompetent you are, it doesn’t substance arsenic agelong arsenic you person the close ideological intentions. There's the High Speed Rail (Fail) - 30 years late, $100 cardinal implicit budget, inactive not a azygous mile of way laid aft implicit a decennary and $30 cardinal spent. The wildfire catastrophe successful Los Angeles. Over $30 cardinal "lost" by the Employment Development Department during the pandemic. This is not conscionable incompetence. It’s pathological. It is incompetism.
