In his most recent State of the State speech, California’s governor strongly opposed Donald Trump’s violent and disorderly actions with clear moral judgment and strong anger.
“He claims in Washington that power equals right.
That courts are just temporary obstacles, not real limits. That democracy is something to be ignored. Secret police, businesses being searched, windows broken, people arrested, shot, and taken away in broad daylight. People vanishing without a trace.”
“Using American cities as military training sites.
Intentional chaos coming from the White House. Moving the tax burden from the wealthy and billionaires onto small businesses, farmers, ranchers, and the middle class, all while enriching the rich through corrupt, crony capitalism on a massive scale, state-controlled capitalism, self-serving, profit-driven, not policy-driven.”
“Taking away rights, especially from marginalized groups, rewriting history, hiding the truth.
Their politics are a strange longing for the past, trying to bring back an old way of doing things. None of this is ordinary. And it’s essential to remember, the worst part isn’t just bad people acting badly, but the shocking silence from so many good people.”
“Not normal.
“
After months of hearing Trump speak in crazy, fascist-like ways, it’s really encouraging to see a Democratic leader standing up proudly and confidently to protect our democracy, human rights, and American values.
More of this, please!
