The Citizen Army That Will Recall Gavin Newsom

The Citizen Army That Will Recall Gavin Newsom
Excerpt: Even in deep-blue California, it is possible to achieve the impossible. The technology to facilitate mass uprisings is mature and ubiquitous and will function with or without the complicity of the social media and search monopolies. The political realignment we are witnessing in California is not partisan, it is not conservative or liberal, Right or Left, or Republican or Democrat. It is comprised of old and young, rich and poor, black and white, and everyone else. This is a mass uprising. [I’m unsure how seriously to take this article. The author makes some incredibly powerful points, shows a VAST number of unhappy Californians who–if they can be united–would certainly be sufficient to throw out almost every current office holder in the state. But, CAN those unhappy people be united to do that job? I suspect it will be much more difficult than getting people to click on a Faceebook page. I hope I’m wrong. When I was in San Diego in 1965, their highways were literally the wonder of the nation and most of the world. When I visited in the late 1990s, those roads had not been kept up. Every 3rd or 4th person I met was looking over his or her shoulder to watch out for the few trying to enforce immigration laws. That wonderful, truly golden, state is now no more than a shadow of its former self or possibilities. Ron P.]
