#2 It's just hilarious how the outdated, discredited racist idea of States Rights is suddenly making a big comeback with Democrats. It's as if they never had any principles in the first place and wanted to dominate us with the federal government the whole time.

#5 California is running out of money and they can't tax their way out of it.

#6 One might wonder if they're really desperate for Trump to declare martial law in California in order to stop these sorts of things. That could be their desire so they can kick off their Glorious (Utterly doomed to damn near instant failure) Revolution. And yes, their leaders are cynical enough to believe that 1. They will win and 2. None of them will have to pay the price for the Revolution.

#9 Damn Bourgeoisie, won't let any of us proletariat in the energy business catch a break... but if they put it that way, they'd have problems, so they're "Saving Mama Planet" instead.
