Los Angeles Times: Why Isn't Anyone Blaming the GOP for California's Failed Policies?

This is really desperate and embarrassing. As our own Amy Curtis wrote earlier Saturday, columnist Steve Lopez wrote for the Los Angeles Times that while Democrats always get the blame for California's problems, like homelessness. Lopez says we need to look back at history though … to his days growing up in a San Francisco suburb when the state population was only 10 million. He also looks back to post-World War II America to defend California Democrats.

Lopez writes:

“We so rarely talk about the crisis of homelessness in the ‘80s under Reagan,” said Regina Freer, who teaches urban politics at Occidental College. “We always want to flatten and simplify what are really complex challenges. That’s why I’m in the classroom — because I don’t want my students to fall into some of those same traps of over-simplification.”

So maybe you’re reading this and saying, “OK, but Reagan and Nixon and economic shifts are old stories. California’s Dems have been in the driver’s seat for years, and they’re soft on crime and the border, full of empty promises and way too woke.”

That's exactly what we're saying. Ah, says Lopez in a "gotcha" moment — why do Democrats have a stranglehold on California? Because Republicans are just so awful that they're impossible to vote for:

In a state that proudly celebrates inclusion and leads the resistance to the politics of race-based scapegoating, climate change denial and the stripping of women’s reproductive rights, the out-of-touch GOP has been hell-bent on shrinking its tent. Reagan, who signed an abortion rights bill as governor and an immigrant amnesty bill as president, would be booted out of today’s GOP.

Is that why the Ronald Reagan biopic came in fourth at the box office last weekend? Democrats flocked to it?

If Republicans would just abandon all their principles and become Democrats, Californians would vote for them and then they could work together to save the state. But they don't want to kill babies up until delivery.

This is really a stretch. Democrats own California. It's all theirs and has been for some time. But because the GOP candidate might be pro-life, there really is no option but the Democrat.
