Tucker Carlson: California, once a symbol of the American Dream, now represents everything that's wrong

For generations, California symbolized everything that was fantastic and was great about America.

It was the most beautiful place in the world -- snowcapped mountains, pristine beaches, lush inland valleys. But it was more than a vacation spot. California supported the biggest middle class in the country. It had an education system that was the envy of the world. It had gleaming infrastructure. California was the state that made the American dream a reality.

Now the State of California is known for a very different set of images: Needles and feces in the street, a dying middle class, the country's highest poverty rate, policies that prioritize illegal aliens over ailing American citizens. California is still a symbol. But today it's a symbol of everything that's going wrong with this country.

I thought the depths of my contempt found bottom with Jerry Brown. After all, he was in charge for most of California's descent from no. 1 to 49. Or 50.

But there is something singularly irritating about Gavin Newsom's leftist bravado in the face of whats plainly happening to this state. He is totally oblivious. It's as if, after having struck the iceberg, he's invited everyone below for a Captain's Dinner and dance to celebrate his superlative handing of the ship.

The maxim, as California demonstrates, still holds:  Liberals eventually ruin everything.
