Yes, they were caught off guard.

Wish we had orchestrated a statewide coup.

[A CA Guy]

Statewide is hard because as it is the Democrats are known to have elections and have whole boxes of votes found after the election.
They are not held accountable and lead our country in the national issue of having no shame.

QUESTION: How do you eat a (GOPe)elephant ?
ANSWER: ONE BITE AT A TIME !

Keep up the good work
Find the schedule of other local committees, and expand your current network of influence. There is strength in numbers.
Expect resistance, especially if the big (GOPe) elephant wakes up .
Expect local and State rules changes to make the GOPe more 'elite' (its called complacency and hubris).
Let them keep their 'normalcy bias', and then kick them in the nuts (elephants like peanuts, right?)
Congradulations on your Guerilla attack, but they won't be quite so complacent next time - aligne your forces for a counter-attack.
and see if you can expand your revolution elsewhere in the state.
Your success gives us all hope (without the changey thing).
