I love a lot of things about Washington. I'm pretty unhappy at the thought of it turning into CA north. I don't see much hope of it changing, but I'm willing to fight for it. Of course, pretty soon there is a good chance all America is gonna go the way of the People's Republik Of Kalifornia. sad

They have to finish assimilating Oregon first, but they already have a base in Seattle.

Some of the proposals would be used to help balance the budget; others would fund specific new programs
I boldfaced the most telling part . . . it would seem that according to many democRATS, California government just isn't big enough yet.
Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

Not until every life form on the planet is firmly under its thumb.

Quote
The leader of the Assembly's Republicans, Mike Villines of Clovis, says the many tax bills "show how out of touch the [legislative] majority has become. . . . Working people are looking at these taxes and saying, 'Are you kidding me? You are going to add more costs to my daily life?' People want us to live within our means like they do."
I recall an accidental open mic discussion played on the air a few years ago where Democratic representatives admitted that they want us, the people, to suffer. It appears they're actively working towards making that happen.
They pour money into the school union and we get kids who can't read, write or do math.
They tax us for roads and ours rank among the worst when it comes to disrepair.
They forbid us from hunting and now we have coyotes stalking children.
I hope enough people get sick of this.

The solution to this is to start an off-world colony of freedom-loving people. After all the sane people have left planet, we nuke the Californicated Earth repeatedly.

I live in Los Angeles but have spent a lot of time, pleasurably, in the NW.  Hey, not all your yuppies and lefties are from down here.  Who are all those skinny guys with beards, Che berets, and backpacks on bikes I keep seeing? I think you may have a homegrown problem, if I may so observe.  grin

Nuking it from space is the only way to be sure . . .

The assimilation was finished years ago.  Washington is doomed.   sad
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Could use biological weapons as well. But that wouldn't be as spectacular.
