You know what the problem is with California?
Democrats—or so I’m told.
If I write about broken sidewalks in Los Angeles, readers write to say it’s the fault of Democrats.

Former President Trump also loves bashing the Golden State. He is branding Vice President Kamala Harris as a home-grown radical, if not a Communist. He says she destroyed San Francisco as district attorney, destroyed the entire state as attorney general, and will turn the whole nation into a hellhole like California, as my colleague Mark Barabak recently noted.
A reader named Steve summed it up this way: “The democratic experiment has failed,” he wrote. “Study history, you’re stuck in the liberal mud.”
