The Californifican of Maryland

Like Maryland, California is a one-party state dominated by Democrats beholden to public sector unions and environmentalists. According to Kotkin this brand of progressivism has sacked the private sector like ravaging Huns, and created “…two separate California realities: a lucrative one for the wealthy and for government workers, who are largely insulated from economic decline; and a grim one for the private-sector middle and working classes, who are fleeing the state.”
