The dominance of a single political party in any region is, shall we say, suboptimal. Monopolies tend to breed laziness, corruption, and leaders who feel entitled to unearned deference.
The safer a politician feels, the more likely they are to abuse their power, like Joe Biden, or to abuse others, like...Katie Porter.
Someone who used to work with Katie Porter sent me this clip from a train-wreck interview with her and said, “Now imagine what she’s like when there aren’t cameras around.” pic.twitter.com/OCF73BrUg1

Porter has never been a pleasant person, nor a high achiever, except in the sense of building a resume. Coming from a class that equates credentials with achievement, her Phillips Academy to Yale to Harvard to Law Clerk to Academia to Congress path looks very impressive to them. And, perhaps at a time when we had an elite with a sense of public obligation, it might earn her a second glance.
But a second glance at Katie Porter reveals how far our "elite" have fallen--from noblesse oblige to elite sociopathy.
Porter is of the "Do you KNOW WHO I AM?!" school of modern elites.
As Gavin Newsom prepares to lose the next presidential election (please, God, make it so!), Porter is running to replace him and is currently in the lead. She is making this run after a failed attempt to beat Adam Schiff for the Dianne Feinstein memorial Senate Seat.
Can you imagine two more disgusting, entitled people to replace Feinstein?
After her graceless loss to Schiff, she, of course, complained of election rigging, because no Phillips Academy to Yale to Harvard to Law Clerk to Academia to Congress credential climber could possibly lose without being cheated.
So now, she feels entitled to the governor's seat, and no snotty little reporter should ask her what should be, to any seasoned politician, the easiest question in the world. It never occurred to Katie Porter that she would have to appeal to VOTERS, particularly those dirty Trump supporters!
HOW DARE THAT PLEB ASK ME ABOUT THAT?!
Porter is apparently always like this. She famously physically abused her ex-husband, and among other things, dumped steaming hot mashed potatoes on his head. Her staff reportedly hate her, and with good reason.
But what is striking to me about this and other Katie Porter stories is not that she is a biatch, but rather that everybody around her tolerates it. She is in the California Nomenklatura, and the rules of ordinary society do not apply. People of her class look at her resume and are impressed, and people of a "lower" class live in feudal California, so they have to take it.
It's a political culture that gives us slimeballs like Adam Schiff and Gavin Newsom, degenerates like Scott Weiner, and incompetents like Kamala Harris and Katie Porter. California, ruled by politicians who blather on about "equity" and caring for the less fortunate, is almost feudal in its levels of inequality and class distinctions.
One of the wealthiest places on earth, it has poverty rates that are breathtaking, the highest homeless population in the country, and a ruling class that is as degenerate as those in the Hunger Games.
That's how you get Katie Porters in power.
