A Dystopian Model

Demographer Joel Kotkin has been a major contributor to the discussion of California’s decline. Most recently, he writes for City Journal that Biden and his co-conspirators intend to use CA as the model for where they wish to take the country,

Doing so would be a disaster for the rest of us, since few places have the natural beauty and climate CA uses to draw people there in spite of how badly it is run. And in recent years Kotkin notes, “how badly it is run” seems to be overshadowing its natural assets. 

One supposes the Bidenistas’ rationale is that if the whole country operates on the CA model, there will be no place one can go to escape their regime. Without emigrating, that is. 

I anticipate efforts to ‘Californicate’ the country would be the Democrats’ typical overreach. Overreach normally results in Republicans getting elected in purple states. Hat tip to Power Line for the link.
