In Donald Trump's America, is California the new Texas?

[Zorro]

In the early morning hours after Donald Trump became president-elect of the United States, California Senate leader Kevin de León and Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon were on the phone grappling with what comes next.

Trump’s upset victory left the two Democrats reeling. They saw the incoming administration as an existential threat to the progressive work they accomplished in the nation’s most populous state. By midday Wednesday, they released a combative statement vowing to defend those strides.

"We are not going to allow one election to reverse generations of progress,” they said.

Other California leaders rushed to join Rendon and De León in setting up the state as a liberal counterweight to Trump, laying the groundwork for four years of battles with Washington.

4. Unfortunately, I DO know. . . .

I wish it weren't the case. I had to live in a deep red state from 2012-2015. It was quite awful. What really bothered me almost the most was the fact that everybody ASSUMED I was Christian, straight, and Republican. Yuck.

3. I also live in California

Glad I'm here, too.

But California is not universally blue. I vote in Duncan Hunter's Congressional district, so there are a lot of dumbasses in this area.
