Now that Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) have decided to stop ignoring Rep. Eric Swallows (allegedly) being a sleezebucket, and "encouraged" all those he was (allegedly) a sleezebucket with to make the open secret no longer secret, billionaire Tom Steyer is the new Democrat frontrunner for California Governor. And I know what you're thinking, "Hey Brodigan, the 'no kings' democrap party is rallying around a billionaire? The heck you say!"

Heck! I do, in point of fact, say heck!

Steyer's first order of business? Announcing his plan to deal with illegal immigration that essentially makes the current Gov. Gavin Siebel-Newsom look like Donald Trump. Some key points:

- Defund ICE. Obviously.

- Treat ICE agents like the mob and throw them all in jail. Yes, over the crime of enforcing immigration laws. He also wants to empower the Attorney General to send ICE agents and leadership to prison. Again...for the crime of enforcing immigration laws.

- Bring everyone, quote, “kidnapped & detained" by ICE back home. No, not to their home countries. To California, which is technically still America, where they were living illegally.

- More taxpayer-funded legal representation for illegals. That actually pairs remarkably well with the "Dignidad Act" being pushed by amnesty-loving RINOs that forgives loans of anyone who is an immigration attorney.

- Ignore a Supreme Court ruling that allows ICE to utilize race, language, job, and location to contribute to “reasonable suspicion” for immigration arrests, because, and I quote, “California should take matters into our own hands and extend legal protections to its residents, despite the federal government's failure.”

Not the federal government's failure to enforce immigration laws. Steyer's definition of "failure" is that the government has started to, for a refreshing change, enforce them effectively.

This is where we get to the part where people will start to chirp wHo cArEs aBoUt cAlIfOrNiA ThEy'rE AlL A BuNcH Of dEmOcRaT CoMmUnIsTs hUrR DeRp!

Where do you think National Democrats get their ideas from?

Case in point, while the current left-wing lunatics running Virginia are in the current news cycle, the last time left-wing lunatics ran the state, they passed a law making California's green"fuel efficency" standard the official law of the land in Virginia. In other words, the reason why California gas prices are at least two dollars more a gallon than they are throughout the rest of America.

FLASHBACK: Steyer last ran for president in the 2020 primary on climate issues. Upon losing, he co-chaired then–former Vice President Biden's Climate Engagement Advisory Council to help mobilize climate voters.

California's problems rapidly become America's problems when people don't pay attention. Would it be nice if California voters stopped voting against their own interests? Sure. Just like it would be nice if California voters fleeing the state after voting for policies that caused them to flee the state didn't then vote for those same policies in the state they just fled to.

I'm not saying you have to care about Californians. You DO have to care about what goes on in California, especially as people let themselves get blackpilled into sitting out elections because "they're all the same."
