Steve Hilton warns California is heading down the same path as the country he left, framing the state's direction as a serious decline.

• Hilton, who was born in the UK, says California is on track to become like the country he left behind.
• He frames this as a bad path and says he is fighting to stop it.
• The warning ties into his broader political pitch against current California policies on taxes, regulation, and governance.

Outlook: Hilton will likely keep using this UK-comparison framing as he pushes for political change in California.
