Former President Trump presented a dystopian image of California as a warning about what would happen to the nation if Kamala Harris is elected president.

Trump said if he were elected, he would stop sending California federal firefighting aid unless Gov. Gavin Newsom, whom he referred to repeatedly as “Newscum,” enacted his policy priorities on issues such as water and taxes.

I’ll note that the most fire-prone parts of California tend to be Republican-majority areas.

    Here’s the issue: think about how happy you will be when TX leaves the union. The GOP feels the same about CA.

      They’ll do an about face real quick when they realize that more GOP voters live in CA than anywhere else. Gotta be able to get that campaign $$$

      Yeah, except California could be a nationstate on its own without needing outside help and the same is not true of Texas. It’s closer to being true for Texas than it is for most red states, that is true, but Texas can’t even keep its power on. And that whole oil industry thing? Looking pretty temporary.
