Dear @TuckerCarlson: CA has now grown to the 6th largest economy in the world, and we have a budget surplus. The unemployment rate is at a record low. And we have Disneyland. Who doesn't like Disneyland?
Also, our cannabis is awesome. Come visit my district & I will show you.

The mid class is fleeing CA. Normal ppl can't live there anymore. Housing prices are too high, wages too low. CA increasingly consists of tech oligarchs & their imported, low-wage servants. CA is developing the economic structure of Latin America. How long before it's Venezuela?

(5,611 posts)and grew up in California, went to a private boarding school and expensive private liberal arts college, and his family is the Swanson frozen foods family empire. Yet he pretends to be down with the people on his show while he covers four topics: immigration (all bad they are robbing us of our jobs! They are criminals!), why the Russia investigation is evil/crazy/a hoax etc, something featuring an African-American like Maxine Waters that plays to racist fantasies, and cries about how conservatives are being silenced (he has limited self-awareness apparently).
Its a really transparent formula and honestly Im surprised that we havent heard more condemnations of his obvious tactics from other media sources though maybe thats just the attention he wants so its better to ignore him.
