Podcast with Chris Moritz on One Party Rule in California

Topic: One Party Rule in California.

The founders of America established us as a constitutional republic. Theoretically, we the people elect our representatives who makes decisions in our place. But what happens to a city or state, where they effectively have one-party rule? Such as in California. Is Gavin Newsom the “Nero of California”? Christopher Moritz, author of Failed State: A Portrait of California in the Twilight of Empire, notes: “California was once the crown jewel of the American dream: prosperous, innovative, egalitarian, and aspirational. Today, it stands as a dystopian warning of what happens when nihilistic, radical ideology consumes the foundations of governance.” What happened? Maybe, the Golden State is the poster child of the law of unintended consequences. Christopher Moritz joins Jerry Newcombe on Vocal Point to discuss California’s descent into failure. www.chrisgmoritz
