California liberals flunking first duty of government | Washington Examiner

California s Latinos, mostly the product of a 1982-2007 surge of migration from Mexico, may be responding to this disorder much like California s white homeowners, mostly the product of a 1940-1965 surge of migration from the Midwest, responded to the disorder of the Watt riots and Berkeley rebellions of the 1960s. The voters who had supported the liberal policies of Democratic Gov. Pat Brown switched in large numbers in 1966 to the conservative former Midwesterner Ronald Reagan.

There s no Reagan on the scene now, unless it s radio talk host Larry Elder, who seems ahead in the race to succeed Newsom if he s recalled. It s entirely possible that Newsom will be able to rally enough Democrats to stay in office. But his current ads attacking former President Donald Trump don t seem more effective than 1966 attempts to claim Reagan was another Barry Goldwater.

Lesson: The first test of government is to provide a stable order in which people can live their lives. California s liberal Democrats seem to be flunking that test.

One also wonders how much, erm, integrity our mail-in, ballot-harvested electoral system has. Just sayin’.
