Victor Davis Hanson unloads. No one—not even Biden—has wrecked more in plain sight than Gavin Newsom. Thirty-two years in power. Thirty-two years of smug incompetence. And now California—once the envy of the world—is a dystopian blueprint for national collapse. High taxes. Skyrocketing gas prices. Collapsing infrastructure. Fires, crime, exodus. Newsom smiles for the camera while refineries flee, power bills explode, and families pack up for Texas. He shuts down your business, then dines maskless at French Laundry. "You took paradise, and made it purgatory." Hanson exposes the real Gavin—a nepo puppet propped up by Getty oil money, drenched in hypocrisy, and prepping for a presidential run. But the legacy is clear: a failed state, burned by arrogance, and hollowed out by ideology. This isn’t just California’s story—it’s America’s warning.
