Keep it up!
If California Democrats are writing a playbook on how to invite electoral blowback by legislative overreach, they’re doing a bang-up job.
First, Democrats pushed through a massively unpopular gas tax proposal – which polling shows 58% of Californians oppose.
Then, they passed a single payer healthcare plan forcing a $200 billion tax increase – costing more than the entire state budget. Polling shows that public support for such a proposal is only at 40%, well short of a majority even in progressive California.
Now, the legislature is pursuing a plan that one California law enforcement official says “essentially provides sanctuary for criminals,” leading the Los Angeles Times to pose the question: “How far left can California’s legislative Democrats go before Republicans benefit at the ballot box?”
Given polling on the gas tax and single payer, I’d say we’re already there. Keep it up, guys!
