No Kings, Except In California

Recent events surrounding California Governor Gavin Newsom highlight concerns about his governance style and its implications for his political aspirations.

• Last weekend's No Kings rallies showcased reactions from the political left, illustrating psychological projection.

• Newsom has issued an executive order banning internal-combustion engine vehicles, effective 2035. This move faces criticism for bypassing traditional legislative processes but aligns with Democratic environmental goals.

• The California Air Resources Board backed his order, despite being an appointed body, which raised questions about accountability.

• A bill signed by President Trump aims to diminish California’s EV mandate, which Newsom responded to by reaffirming his commitment to zero-emission technologies, suggesting he ignores federal authority.

• Critics accuse the Democrats of projecting authoritarianism onto Trump while Newsom displays unilateral decision-making.

If Newsom were to become president, his current governance style raises concerns about potential overreach and centralized power.
