First of all, this is obviously an overreach by the government. A store owner should be allowed to label their aisles however they please.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next issue is far more alarming in my opinion. We have a multitude of problems here in California, to say the least. From housing shortages, high taxes, natural disasters, and wealth inequality, the list goes on. Why are Democrats focusing on banning \u201cgendered aisles,\u201d which bother no one, when we have all of these issues?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I think it&#8217;s ridiculous that even a dime of my taxes goes towards nonsense like this. California Democrats have gotten too comfortable where they are, probably because of the strong liberal voter base that keeps them safely in office. They need a wake up call. November 2020 is the chance to give them one.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Michael Palomba Progressivism always seems to come in the form of new laws and regulations.
