Orange County, California. Formerly the place where good Republicans went to die, now the place where the GOP wackos and grifters go to run for office.

I see people doing Bluesky self-introductions, here's mine: former journalist living in and almost exclusively posting about Orange County CA, once a bastion of Reaganism (& the John Birch Society), now a hotbed of GOP lunacy. Here to document the demise of the OCGOP and its loony tunes candidates.

Hey @chriswarcraft.bsky.social I think this would be an excellent campaign issue for you: Gracey just voted to allow booze to be sold right next to a playground. Knowing her, the vendor is probably a donor. Anyway, great example of how wrong-headed she is and just how wrong she is for #AD72.
The Huntington Beach City Council votes 5-2 to grant a pair of Conditional Use Permits that would allow the sale of alcohol at the Huntington Beach Sports Complex.
Chad Williams and Andrew Gruel voted no.
Dozens of residents also commented that they thought it was a bad idea.

I participated in the PCH protest today. It was estimated that about 50-60 people showed up. It was a very peaceful event, with lots of appreciative honks and waves.
