Don't worry you'll get a one day break from looking for pride patterns on Juneteenth.

You may be giving these soul-less toadies a bit too much credit. They don't care about numbers, budgets, California, etc—even if this state were to crumble in the morning our political class would be jetting East to see if they could maybe scavenge an NGO sinecure or a talking head gig at Harvard or MSNBC.

I'm starting to notice that our progressive aristocracy may have the worst case of status anxiety since the Court of Louis XIV The Sun King. But instead of "Did the King notice me?" or "I'm friends with the Holder of the Royal Chamber Pot" it's a desperate need to be seen as a prominent whited sepulcher: "Can I get a pic too with that Trans nun?" "Did RuPaul return my call?"

There's always been sleazy opportunists trying to ride the newest religious craze to power, relevance and cash, but now that our dogma is based on crowd-sourced victimhood (Get the New Progressive Flag! Now with 10% more virtue signalling!) these pathetic parasites are desperate to genuflect in every direction.

Every once in awhile a group arises that embodies the worst aspects of religion—fake moralism, cruelty disguised as piety, competitive virtue—with the worst aspects of politics—shameless greed and bootlicking, blatant dishonesty and corruption, staggering incompetence—and here we are again. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the leadership class of 21st-century California.
