California is Fine

@JonLosAngeles66 here we go again, outside agitators, not the peaceful Hamas-supporting students of Columbia Univ. It's that same line again. What is "Alt National Park Service" anyway? Searching desperately for some shred of evidence that MAGA is involved. How deluded can you be?

@JonLosAngeles66 I see Alt National Park Services is a rogue Twitter account set up right after Trump's first inauguration, one of many accounts set up then to oppose the newly elected president as part of a "Resistance" of federal employees to the president they were legally obliged, if not sworn, to serve. Some source.

@JonLosAngeles66 yes that's the problem, the governor and mayor don't want law and order to be enforced even in a matter pertaining to the Federal responsibility for immigration. And they don't want anyone else to do it.

As Ben Domenech puts in today's Spectator magazine, "Gavin Newsom blew his chance to stand for law and order.
"He had a golden opportunity this week to prove that he’s learned something in the time since the summer of George Floyd."
He can kiss his presidential ambitions goodbye!

@jenni100 you don't know what you're talking about. It's not even that big of a protest. Trump is trying to instigate. That's all.

@JonLosAngeles66 Your perspective is so out of touch with the rest of the country, it's symptomatic of the problem for Dems that they have lost touch with their former working class base as the become the party of affluent elites and keep giving Trump one gift after another, insulting anyone who disagrees with them.

As Domenech says, "Democratic unwillingness to take on the sacred cows of their party in big blue cities and states across the country has become an obvious anchor on their hopes for political comeback. They are unwilling to take on their pro-Hamas faction, their trans men in girls’ sports faction and their pro-illegal migrant faction in any serious way. Newsom can pay lip service to these ideas – but that’s all it is."

In saying we should all pay such deference to what Californians and their politicians say, you seem blind the fact that for most of the country it gets things backwards. Perhaps you should pay attention to what others say.

"Until this changes – until someone prominent within the party is willing to set out on a different path – Democrats are going to continue to find their most extreme wing giving President Trump one chaotic gift after another, casting him as the champion of law, order, and normalcy. Whatever that approach is, it is not the path to political victory."

You don't have to be MAGA or an uncritical supporter of Trump to see that this is crazy and the inability to see that it is crazy is itself a big part of the problem.

@jenni100 You think what you want we're fine.

@JonLosAngeles66 thanks for the permission, sir. But when cities like LA declare themselves sanctuary cities and refuse full cooperation with federal law enforcement, I think it's reasonable for the government to refuse federal funding for such cities. Be fine on your own dime!
