Here in California, one of the worst places in the US, we forced a recall election on our governor w/over 2 million signatures (I collected hundreds myself). If that's not organized resistance, I don't know what is. There are also freedom groups throughout the US, including here in the Bay Area, that get together all the time, strategize, socialize, etc. Ohio AMF is particularly well organized and involved w/legislation and education. Best to find like-minded people in your area and meet in person. The White Rose telegram groups cover many different countries, states, and regional areas.

Thank you for your efforts. I’m a bit scared of what Newsom will do should he end up winning. I’m sure he will pay all of we peasants back for daring to uprise against his highness.

Sadly, if he wins next week, expect forms of collective punishment. Stay strong, be patient, we will prevail.

A land of contradictions. You could carve two red states out of Central Valley and Norcal. Not to mention OC/Northern SD, and the wild wests of Long Beach and East Bay / East SD. And despite the monoculture in The Bay and in West LA, a lot of Democrat Party party power in urban CA is of the Appalachian "deplorable," party patronage variety, not the progressive strain. However, CA's hispanic and Asian "party patronage Appalachia" is more secular and pro-authority than the Eastern variety, so it's a big mess.

I am not sure that they Dems have the Latinos in CA any more. They have a much stronger sense of class consciousness than the Asian groups, and they have borne the brunt of the policies the Zoom class has gotten to escape from.

But still culturally pro-authority, and suffused with a bizarre, lopsided germaphobia (super into hand sanitizer and masks; totally indifferent to food safety regimes; meanwhile generally not allergic to dangerous working conditions at all, showing the same hearty risk appetite as a deplorable). I saw outdoor solo masking (including of course of kids) adopted in Baja and San Ysidro well before anywhere else in SoCal last year. Hispanics do *not* want to face this virus without a state/expert umbilical cord.
