14. "Waaah! But, what can Dems do? They are not in power. Waaah!"

I ask in this forum - where are the Dems? Why aren't they responding to Republican overreach?

I often get the bullshit response that how can the Dems do anything? They're in the minority. Total surrender and defeatism.

Well, Newsom is doing exactly the thing that Dems should be doing. Exercising what power HE has to push back on Republican assholery.

I'd go even further. I'd deny students from other states admission to any California funded college or university if that state's curriculum included any Prager U bullshit or had amended their standards to address to any of Trump's "improper ideology" such as sanitized accounts of slavery, "American exceptionalism", Christian dominance and any other re-purposed Nazi bullshit that party is all about.

I just wish other Dem governors would start playing hardball like this.
