APART FROM BEING RIFE WITH LEFTY PRESUPPOSITIONS, THIS IS A FASCINATING LOOK AT A NOT-SO-SUBTLE TURN OF PHRASE. Gavin Newsom Declares California a ‘Nation-State’

“At some point this civil war by other means, with the goal of enshrining GOP minority rule, will provoke a Democratic counteroffensive. Newsom, leader of the nation’s largest state, is perhaps accelerating that response, shaking Democrats out of denial and putting Republicans on notice.

What that means, of course, is left to the imagination. But not much is required to envision what might evolve.”
