The fourth chair doesn't ask you to reject Jesus. It invites you to keep His name while remaking Him in your own image — and in the process, hand authority to the very institutions that want Christ off the throne and the state in His place.
Evita was a warning about how a beautiful “voice of the people” can sell a hard edged state. AOC is not Eva Perón, but the style she embodies, and the power grabs her movement normalizes, may be writing America’s own soft on ramp to illiberal rule.
California’s housing crisis is no accident. Sacramento rigs the rules to keep homes scarce and prices high, then turns “affordability” programs like Dream For All into a way to skim your equity while staying financially dependent on inflated values.

Chamath Palihapitiya proposes a $300–500B tax equity fund leveraging OBBBA incentives to put solar-plus-storage on 50–100M U.S. homes, slashing power bills while adding 400–800 GW of distributed capacity and shifting grid room to AI and industry.
California: $24B on homelessness, 53% increase. $15B on rail, zero miles built. Wealth tax triggered $1T billionaire exodus. Top 1% pay 50% of income taxes—when they leave, you pay. Demand a forensic audit before California gets another dollar.
Lincoln warned America could only die by suicide. Today, revolutionary frameworks taught in universities—Alinsky, Cloward-Piven, The Coming Insurrection—are being applied as official policy by governors and DAs. This isn't governance failing. It's revolution succeeding.
