"Eat the Rich": Protests and the Trump Realignment

Recent vandalism on Rodeo Drive:


From Wikipedia:

Of the 19,696,371 California voters registered for the November 6, 2018, general election:[3]

  • 43.5% were Democrats
  • 24.0% were Republicans
According to the LA Times: "Democrats haven’t wielded this much power in 136 years."
Democrats will occupy roughly three-fourths of the seats in both legislative houses. It takes only a two-thirds supermajority to pass tax increases and place constitutional amendments on the ballot. A three-fourths mega-majority is new territory.
Query: When protesters scrawl "Eat the Rich" on buildings in a far-left state dominated by a "mega-majority" of Democrats, who is upset with whom?
