Stay safe rule, my brothers, sisters and anything outside and in between.

No idea where else I could post this with maximum visibility.

      Gavin Newsom is against trans rights, clears homeless encampments, and vetoes and suppresses progressive legislation.

      Which this article summarizes:

      https://transitics.substack.com/p/yes-gavin-newsom-is-funny-that-doesnt

      This is the full interview with Charlie Kirk where he unquestioningly buys all of the fascist bullshit Charlie Kirk was selling about trans people without any push back. From what I saw of it, Newsom seemed to find fascism intuitively compelling. Fascism must appeal to someone like Newsom since he only seems to care about himself:

      Newsom has been going after homeless people for awhile. This is the most recent development. After the Charlie Kirk interview, I have serious doubts about his intention to help homeless people. I wouldn’t be surprised if they end up having to fight fires like California prisoners:

      This lists some of the progressive legislation that Newsom has vetoed:

      Also he’s fine with using slave labor to fight fires. He didn’t start the practice but he hasn’t done anything to stop it.

      He is seen as just another establishment guy. Which he is. But good god do we not want to avoid another republican win. Hopefully the fucking tankies wont dick this one up for everyone too.

      Talking about the primaries right now is kind of silly. We still god midterms coming plus whatever crazy shit that might happen. I’ll take bad over catastrophe any day and if catastrophe is unavoidable then slowing it down at least lets us do something mediate the damage.

          Shitlibs blame the left for the Democrats basically throwing the last election, and they’ll blame the left when the Democrats do it again

        He fucked his best friend’s wife. Do you know how much of a disgusting horrid person you have to be to do that?

        People won’t forget it, moderates won’t forget it, Republicans sick of inflation who could switch votes out of rage over economic fuckery won’t forget it, liberals are possibly willing to forget it.

        He is much less electable than people think. AA and Catholicism and being tall and seeking redemption are fine, but the guy fucked his best friend’s wife. It’s a different kind of treachery and it will be poison to moderates, even if he’s super edgy and cool. The fact that he’s governor of California speaks to what degenerate selfish idiots the liberals in California have become but there isn’t a chance in hell the rest of the country is that vile.

          I kind of don’t care about shit like this anymore. Not a fan of Newsom, and really hope he loses the primary, but I’m done giving a shit about the personal lives of these people. Especially when it’s nothing illegal.

          Maybe we need pieces of shit in power right now
