I lost my home in 2020 to the CZU lightning fires in the Santa Cruz mountains. Lost everything, including pets. In the aftermath of dealing with insurance and trying to rebuild, I have uncovered all that you mention here. I can't for the life of me understand why Californians would choose this government, because choose they did. They will continue to choose it even as they can no longer afford water or fire insurance. Why?

I am so sorry for your losses Madeline. That is truly devastating. I don't understand it either unless it's just a lack of knowledge and empathy.

CA has legal ballot harvesting (unheard of and appalling just a few decades ago, as it's know as an easy way to commit voter fraud), no I.D. needed to vote, all-mail in balloting and no proof of citizenship to register to vote. Those things have to end, before Dems are no longer "voted" into office.
