Who do you blame for progressivism's current troubles?

When the Republican stood for integrity and principle:

 

Democrat proud history.

My post focuses on results from well over 15 years of extreme Progressive legislative actions.

The failures are substantial and ominous. What positives can you point to, other than Tech, Banking, and Entertainment industries are driving GDP numbers, while economies being compared to are struggling? Do you have a clue how many people are employed in those industries, versus the overall working population in California?

During the Great Recession, California spent a couple years near the top of the list in unemployment, only bested by Nevada, when it's housing/construction industry tanked. Given this wonderful Progressive agenda, how was that possible?

Your attempt to wave these damning results away by stating there are plusses and minuses in every economy is laughable and ignorant of the facts.

Progressivism is a cancer that has doomed California, a state where Progressives have complete control of the government.

That is why I claimed Progressives want to hide California from anyone's view. You've provided additional evidence of that fact.

 

Approximately 76% of Americans are White. Approximately 62% are 'non-Hispanic' [a 'social-distinction' only, since Hispanics (a.k.a, "Latino") are neither Asian-'Oriental' nor Negro]. Approximately 14% of Americans are Black. So, in terms of 'tonnage', of course White people receive more of the total welfare outlay.

In terms of which race in America receives the most welfare handouts on a PER CAPITA basis (rate, versus mere 'number') the highest is Black... and the lowest is 'Asian' (Oriental).

Here are some factual members for you.
Politicians who were active in the Klan at some time[edit]
Robert Byrd[edit]

Senator Robert Byrd was a Kleagle, a Klan recruiter, in his 20s and 30s.
Robert C. Byrd, was a recruiter for the Klan while in his 20s and 30s, rising to the title of Kleagle and Exalted Cyclops of his local chapter. After leaving the group, Byrd spoke in favor of the Klan during his early political career. Though he claimed to have left the organization in 1943, Byrd, wrote a letter in 1946 to the group's Imperial Wizard stating "The Klan is needed today as never before, and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia." Byrd attempted to explain or defend his former membership in the Klan in his 1958 U.S. Senate campaign when he was 41 years old.[1] Byrd, a Democrat, eventually became his party leader in the Senate. Byrd later said joining the Klan was his "greatest mistake."[2] However, in a 2001 incident Byrd, Democrat, repeatedly used the phrase "white ******s" on a national television broadcast.[3]

Black, a Democrat, joined the Ku Klux Klan shortly afterwards, in order to gain votes from the anti-Catholic element in Alabama. He built his winning Senate campaign around multiple appearances at KKK meetings across Alabama. Late in life Black told an interviewer:

at that time, I was joining every organization in sight! ... In my part of Alabama, the Klan was not engaged in unlawful activities ... The general feeling in the community was that if responsible citizens didn't join the Klan it would soon become dominated by the less responsible members.[6]

News of his membership was a secret until shortly after he was confirmed as an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Black later said that joining the Klan was a mistake, but he went on to say, "I would have joined any group if it helped get me votes."[7][8]
