Neera Tanden just served up the most perfectly tone-deaf liberal defense of California I’ve seen in a hot minute, and that’s saying something in 2026.
It all started with a post showing some lovely photos of California.
Hey, just because their politics suck donkey, that doesn't mean the state itself isn't beautiful. It is. This is probably why so many wealthy yet stupid people have flocked there over the years, only to destroy it.
If only there were some rule banning stupid people from destroying states, this country would be such a better place.
I said what I said.

See? Lovely.
Tanden swooped in on those gorgeous landscape pics like the state’s natural beauty somehow erases the mountains of policy disasters - sky-high taxes, streets full of tents, businesses bolting for friendlier zip codes, and a brain drain that’s got even native Californians packing up U-Hauls - blaming it all on right-wing 'envy' instead of, you know, actual governance.
Bless her heart for the Olympic-level mental gymnastics.
This is a gorgeous state. No place like it on earth. Never understood the hate towards the state, except envy from the right wingers. https://t.co/wlzROvixTV

We don't hate California, dummy.
We don't even really hate Democrats (even though you hate Republicans).
No, we just hate your policies and what they do to Americans who are too dense to realize that what you're doing to them isn't helping them.
Adam Housley said it far better:
No one is questioning the gorgeous vistas and weather and the amazing topography. They are questioning the idiocy of our leadership and the massive fraud. And that ain’t just Republicans. It’s people sick and tired of the political incompetence. https://t.co/PLDo7Po9xJ
