The corrupt marriage between Big Tech and Big Government is on full display in California, where more than 30 billionaires have poured close to $9 million into the state's gubernatorial race to install their preferred puppet in Sacramento.
According to a new analysis by the San Francisco Chronicle, California's wealthiest donors are overwhelmingly backing San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan, a Democrat who apparently checks all the right boxes for the Silicon Valley elite looking to maintain their stranglehold on the Golden State.
This is exactly the kind of oligarchy that everyday Californians are fighting against. While hardworking families struggle with crushing inflation, skyrocketing housing costs, and rampant crime thanks to decades of failed Democrat policies, billionaire tech moguls are writing massive checks to ensure their interests remain protected.
The Same Old Playbook
Sound familiar? It's the same playbook we've seen nationwide – wealthy elites buying elections to install politicians who will do their bidding while ignoring the needs of ordinary Americans. These are the same people who lecture us about "democracy" while literally purchasing electoral outcomes.
The fact that Mahan is attracting this level of billionaire support should tell you everything you need to know about where his loyalties lie. Hint: it's not with the struggling families fleeing California in record numbers or the small business owners crushed by regulatory overreach.
"When billionaires unanimously pick their favorite candidate, you can bet it's not because they're looking out for working families," one political observer noted.
California desperately needs leadership that will stand up to the tech oligarchy and fight for actual residents instead of corporate boardrooms. The state's massive homeless crisis, failing schools, and exodus of middle-class families didn't happen by accident – they're the result of policies designed to benefit the wealthy elite at everyone else's expense.
As this gubernatorial race heats up, Patriots need to ask themselves: do we want leaders chosen by the people, or politicians purchased by billionaires? The answer should be obvious, but in today's California, nothing is guaranteed.
