Christy Smith’s Coup Fantasy: The Radical Mom’s War on Santa Clarita’s Discourse
From Coup Rants to Job-Killing Votes, Fueling Chaos in California
It’s been a while since we last checked in on the Santa Clarita Leftist crew, still isolated in their echo chamber, spinning narratives to fuel their outrage. A tipster recently shared a pair of Facebook rants from one-hit-wonder Christy Smith that demand a closer look. You know Christy: two-time congressional loser, self-described “fighter,” and now the unhinged Anarcho Mom of the resistance, railing about coups while California crumbles around her.
Her first outburst has her clutching pearls over “unelected Elon Musk and his team (young men with no U.S. Security Clearance)” touching “our nation’s critical payment system.” She cites a mystery “national security advisor,” calling it “the largest cybersecurity breach in US history,” and urges her followers to flood Congress’s phone lines. “None of us voted” for this, she cries—unlike Fauci, Ferrer, or other unelected bureaucrats who locked us down without a ballot being cast. An unnamed national security advisor? That is just lazy; at least when they were trying to spin the misinformation yarns about the Hunter Laptop, they at least got 51 corrupt national security advisors to sign their names to it. This reeks of “suckers and losers” election meddling—same playbook, same desperation.
Her follow-up is a three-point plan to fight Trump’s “active coup attempt” with his DOGE team. She pushes a “legal strategy team” to shadow Trump, funded by $25 million in taxpayer cash from Newsom, to fight a president who just won the electoral college and popular vote, which translates into fighting the will of the American voter. These are the folks calling every disagreement a “threat to democracy.” She admits “Democrats have always been bad at unified messaging” but insists on a daily “talking points memo” to “sing loudly and often from the same hymn book.” Authenticity? Not here—spam us with anti-Trump screeds like those 23 senators parroting the same script for TikTok attention. Finally, in all caps: “THE SENATE MUST STOP VOTING TO APPROVE HIS NOMINEES.” Her evidence? “Trump and his cronies are daily taking actions that subvert the rule of law as defined by the Constitution and 2 centuries of precedent”—like rescinding LBJ’s 1965 Executive Order establishing USAID, a move he has every right to make under the Constitution. If it’s a coup, why’s Trump bothering with appointments? In her mind, this somehow voids centuries of law What precedent from the last 2 centuries has a president not getting his cabinet approved?
Christy has always painted herself as a reasonable, caring mom while simultaneously branding her opponents “MAGA extremists.” While telling her “fighters,” whom she urges supporters to cheer on, people building websites like DOGE Quest—a site mapping Tesla owners, dealerships, and chargers with a Molotov cocktail cursor, linking to a website called “NoTrace.how” for “anarchists and rebels” to evade surveillance and arrest. These are the types of psychos that Christy wants her followers to support. She’s been close with extremists for years: Julie Olsen was exposed in 2017 for sending vulgar, violent messages even wishing death on people she hates and using disturbing racist sock puppets like “Mike Branson”—a fake Black veteran written in purposely poor grammar—to manufacture allegations of racism against congressional candidate Bryan Caforio, and then there is Wade Alexander, arrested that same year for fighting cops and burning flags at a May Day protest in Los Angeles, who styles himself like a Temu Che Guevara (Seriously?!?). Christy was aware of Olsen’s actions while they were happening; in fact, she was on the offending threads and only removed Olsen from the local Dem club after a young Dem threatened to go public—damage control, not accountability. She is later spotted associating with Alexander, whose antics clash with her carefully sculpted public image of civility. As noted a while back, this group preaches “civility” when they hold power, but when they lose—thanks to a little thing called democracy—they’re ready to burn it all down, as seen in 2020’s unrest, hoping to rule over the ashes. Christy’s allies aren’t just unhinged—they’re a calculated pattern of chaos when power slips away.
Her embrace of chaos isn’t new—it’s a pattern stretching back through her elected official career. Christy entered politics in 2009, winning a Newhall School District board seat and serving two unremarkable, controversy-free terms. She positioned herself as a community-focused advocate and looked like someone who cared about the well-being of her community. She eventually decided to run for the California State Assembly against Dante Acosta and lost in a race that exposed her willingness to play dirty. She had The Signal’s endorsement locked—until she smeared Acosta with accusations of “seedy business dealings,” then went on to brag to the paper she smeared him because she knew he couldn’t respond; the Signal, in turn, wrote an op-ed titled “Our View: What a shame!,” then a few weeks after that dropped a last-minute very sketchy sexual harassment claim, playing innocent while everyone saw through it, the scheme failed, and Acosta won. Two years later, in 2018, Christy secured that same Assembly seat with help from ballot harvesting, alongside Katie Hill’s congressional win, joining Sacramento’s Democratic supermajority. Once in office, she was the perfect leftist rubber stamp, voting every chance she had to make California harder to live in for everyday people: she backed AB5 (May 29, 2019), gutting over a million gig jobs—truckers, freelancers, actors—to appease her union allies, and by June 11, 2020, with the pandemic crushing livelihoods, she doubled down with another “Yes” on AB5’s tweaks, not repeal, leaving workers high and dry while unions celebrated. Her 2020 votes continued the trend: AB 1867 mandated extra sick leave for big employers mid-COVID, crushing businesses already on the brink of collapse; AB 3075 hiked wage liability, burying small businesses further in legal risk; AB 3088’s tenant relief froze evictions but left landlords with no lifeline; and she voted “No” on SB 1120, blocking duplexes to ease housing costs, prioritizing her suburban donors over renters while we have a housing shortage. She skipped AB 685, a workplace COVID reporting measure—because she was too busy posturing
California has become unlivable for many people, and Christy was part of the problem. The state ranks among the priciest in the U.S.—second only to Hawaii in 2024—with average home values at $773,300, per Zillow. High taxes, like the nation’s steepest 12.3% income tax rate, drive residents to no-tax states like Texas and Nevada. Job growth lags the national average, hit by strict regulations and a high cost of living, pushing tech and entertainment industries to struggle. Businesses are fleeing—441 have left since 2018, including Oracle, for tax-friendly states, citing high rents, taxes, and red tape. Christy’s votes fueled this decline: AB5 killed jobs, SB 1120 choked the housing supply, and her disregard for the community—cozying up to extremists like Olsen and Alexander while playing the “caring mom”—eroded trust and chasing away taxpayers while simultaneously importing non-tax paying immigrants essentially chase away state income while attracting more bills. People are leaving because they can’t afford to stay; the state is now running huge deficits, and Christy helped make it that way.
Now she’s Emerge California’s Executive Director, “training” women to run for office—not as community champions, but in power grabs and manipulation; corruption doesn’t come naturally. Who better to teach it than Christy, who pulled $3.1 million from ActBlue in 2020 and $867,529 in 2022, per OpenSecrets. She rode a Democratic fundraising machine now under scrutiny for alleged fraud, money laundering, and “smurfing” (splitting big donations into smaller, hidden chunks)—all while decrying Musk’s “coup.”
Of course, Christy’s fan club has all their Ukraine and Palestinian flag emojis on full display and eating up Anarcho Mom’s extreme rhetoric. Logan Smith warns the “far right” has been lawyering up, Harry Reed pleads for “directions from you” to stop this “coup,” and MarLa Kapit goes full anarchist and writes: “Time for a coup. Take back our country.” They echo her call for chaos and violence while ignoring the democratic will of the people and believing that History will somehow be on their side. Identify a moment in history when those destroying personal property, painting swastikas, and firebombing businesses were considered the good guys. As expected, the public sentiment doesn’t jive with any of their rhetoric: a February 2025 Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll reveals widespread frustration with government inefficiency, with 70% of voters—including 58% of Democrats—saying government expenditures are filled with waste, fraud, and inefficiency and 83% favoring reducing expenditures over increasing taxes. The poll shows strong support for Trump’s agenda, with 81% backing the deportation of illegal immigrants who committed crimes, 76% supporting efforts to eliminate fraud and waste in government, and 76% favoring closing the border. Meanwhile, 60% believe Trump and Musk’s DOGE initiative is helping make major cuts to government spending—despite concerns, as 58% say DOGE employees shouldn’t access sensitive data on Americans. Voters also prioritize merit over diversity in government hiring (70%) and view federal debt as unsustainable (67%), with 69% supporting a goal of cutting $1 trillion in expenditures. Bill Clinton axed 400,000 federal jobs in 1993 as part of the “Reinventing Government” initiative, saving an estimated $146 billion—and no “coup” cries happened back then.
The purpose of this article isn’t to drag Smith or “own the libs,” but to mourn the loss of political conversation and debate—a decline that accelerated in 2012 as polarization deepened, twisting many into unprincipled ideology captivity where the default position is simply the opposite of whatever the other side wants. If one side wants a secure border, the other demands no border at all. If one side seeks to lower an unsustainable deficit—where interest payments now exceed defense spending—the other seems indifferent, only interested in issues involving drag queens apparently, even as 67% of voters in a February 2025 Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll call the federal debt unsustainable. Christy embodies this trend, urging her posse to “cheer on” fighters and “give [America] something to believe in,” using the word “fight” six times in her rant—a term once considered incitement when used by others, yet now wielded freely by alleged leftist leaders like her. Her allies once pushed for electric vehicle mandates. Now they have turned on Tesla, the world’s most successful EV manufacturer, railing against Elon Musk in her coup fantasy—a perfect example of a Leftist ideology driven more by resentment than principle. This isn’t a coup—it’s performative Leftism, starring figures who banked ActBlue funds under scrutiny, torched jobs, and fueled chaos in California. Santa Clarita deserves better than an unhinged mom preaching civility while embracing and encouraging chaos. We urge Christy Smith to embrace the spirit of democracy and condemn all political violence. Attacking American businesses like Tesla, which supports millions of working-class pensions through its economic impact, is deplorable and undermines the success of everyday Americans.
