They had a Republican governor like 15 years ago. Towns were going bankrupt. Republicans cannot govern.

"I'm a Democrat" "no wait, independent!" "I want a republican governor without knowing how they could improve things!"

Republicans always make things worse and Democrats clean up their mess.

And criminalizing transgenderism. Don't forget that.
Yep.

But saying "transgenderism" tends to squick out trans people, fyi. We aren't a disease or an ideology.

I assumed "trans people" sounded too objectifying. Is there a better term I can use?

trans people is fine! or in the context here with republicans passing laws, making policy, etc. they target gender affirming care with restrictions and bans, or Kafkaesque regulations that effectively make it defunct, and/or public presentation targeting "drag" or gender nonconformity in such a way that includes trans people (also bathroom bills, school sports, etc.)

But yea, they do want to criminalize trans people existing in any way they can.

It actually is. If you commit theft on items < $950 it's a misdemeanor that goes nowhere. The police won't arrest you, you'll get a ticket at max and that's if they bother actually catching you which they won't. And shop owners can't really do anything about it.
Shop owners are insured on their goods, so even if you steal, they'll file a claim and get reimbursed.

Ah, people that don't live in California and actually have higher crime rates per capita in their rural red states demanding California replace their governor with someone that's "tough on crime" because of all the stories they hear on right wing media making California out to be a post-apocalyptic Death Wish sequel hellscape.

Anyways, here in California we have a functioning democracy, so good luck to any Repugs trying to cheat their way into office.

The Republican-controlled legislature would probably pass a bill limiting the Democrat governor's powers, like North Carolina did in 2016....

Its in the top 4 or 5 gdp per capita. MA and NY do better and so does DC. And I think maybe Washington?

About 13 of the bottom 15 are red states.
