I want to welcome everyone back to the Piquinones show. We are here for a new series. How are you doing, Thomas? I'm very well, thank you. Well, this is actually a request that I got during one of my Sunday live streams. Somebody said that you always talk about how California used to be like white America. It was like the pinnacle of white america and that it was destroyed on purpose and it became it is what it is now and that was done on purpose so you know the idea is um you try to go over the history and explain exactly how that happened well

i mean it's two things i mean there's there's the situation and there's dysfunction in that regard. And, you know, a kind of cultivated anarchy. But it's also, California is also just not a blue state. It didn't one day become a blue state in 1992. That's not how things work. That'd be like it in 2028. It's declared. Illinois is now a red state. It's as red as Texas. It can never be flipped. And that's just how it is. You know, I don't accept that. That's preposterous. And plus just the the facts don't bear that out. Whenever there's a plebiscite, because I mean California's got an unusual constitution, you know, that's why they hold these plebiscites. vote you know whether it's what the regime euphemistically calls gay marriage whether it's affirmative action there's always like a raw majority against it so california is this like rabidly liberal safe blue state but when people go to the polls they always like vote this stuff down and then the ninth circuit steps in to reverse the plebiscite. I mean, like what, so how does that work?
