Whatever else you think of him, I don't think he is insincere about this stuff, and it should be recognized as extraordinary that he, Pritzker, and other governors are talking about the federal government in these terms. It's not normal political rhetoric, it's the language of existential emergency.
Newsom: "I fear that we will not have an election in 2028 -- I really mean that in the core of my soul -- unless we wake up to the code red, what's happening in this country, and we wake up soberly to how serious this moment is."

I’m less worried about not having an election at all (even autocratic states have bogus show elections) than about having one so compromised the results are meaningless. Either way, I don’t know anyone could be paying attention and NOT harbor that fear.
