    Newsom is such a colossal piece of garbage. I fucking despise that piece of shit. The fact that there’s a large subsection of Democrats that back him should tell you the state of that godsforsaken party.

    Anyone that has the capability of rubbing two brain cells together could tell you that these tariffs are such an exceedingly bad idea and should never be implemented. I mean, gods, they never should’ve even have been proposed for that matter.

    As long as there’s a whiff of civility to the thing it’ll pass democratic muster. Wolves in sheep’s clothes. Vote blue no matter who and don’t forget to donate if you want them to win in 2026.

    I’ve become such a powerful tankie warlock that all I have to do is repeat Newsom’s words back to a Democrat to transmutate them into Russian disinformation catgirl-happy

        God I fucking hate all the libs who were going “Well ackshully…” over that comment, as though socialists misunderstood Biden’s position. “He was talking about the billionaires! How they could pay more taxes and wouldn’t even notice! Biden wasn’t talking about the common folk!”

        Yes, that’s the fucking problem you asshats. Billionaires’ standard of living needs to fundamentally change on levels so radically or else they’re going to destroy the world. Taxing the Kardashians 100% on their private jets is what liberals would describe as too far. Yet it still isn’t far enough because private jets shouldn’t exist, especially so they can commute to other parts of California.

        No amount of clean energy or biking to work or carpooling by Californians is going to offset the carbon footprint of Starbucks CEOs commuting via jet from Sacramento to Seattle or whatever the fuck that was. These greedy, selfish fucks should be lined up against a wall and shot for how much damage they’ve individually contributed to mass extinction and wildfires.

        And going from alive to dead is a pretty fundamental change for most people.

    Some canadians also support trump. Some of the dumbest people on earth. Like most trump supporters in general but it’s maybe even dumber since they’re not American. Canada just didn’t do enough native genocide, slavery and racism for some people.

      I live in a lower class neighborhood near a freeway interchange in a city close to the Texas/mexico border. My neighborhood is mostly poor Hispanics, with some poor blacks, and a few poor whites. Laborers mostly. It is full of trump signs. There are Trump signs in front of white folks houses, but also in front of the homes of Mexican immigrant families and blacks too. Two of my neighbors don’t speak English, and have that stupid trump punisher sticker on their work truck.

      I’m not sure where I’m going with this, but it just perplexes the shit out of me. Good propaganda? Lacking of critical intelligence to see the forest for the trees? Youth lead exposure? It’s hard to be part of a neighborhood that wants to sell itself out.

        I have encountered similar sentiments in Europe. You have immigrants from Poland talking shit about Afghan and Syrian immigrants. As IF the rightwing would make ANY difference when they start to clear house.

        Boggles my mind as person with immigrant roots. 0 self preservation cause they fall for basic rigthwing talking points.

        I guess cause they see themselves as one of the magical good ones.

        It ducks when the democrats are so incompetent (we know why that is, of course). There is no left wing leadership or movement you can even gesture toward, so everything needs to be explained manually. I think that he new generation of AES/Zohran/ DSAers will change this (not in a revolutionary direction ofc, but in a “here’s is something that isn’t pure fascism as an alternative, even if I disagree on many things” direction).

    I wonder how the people who say any democrat is better than a republican will take this. Wait I know Gavin is doing it with better optics so it’s fine…

    sweat Phew, that was close! Someone decent and competent might just be able to keep this shithole from collapsing utterly. Good to know we have nothing to worry about

    Also, unrelated and outdated but I’m re-reading GoT and Newsom gives really strong Roose Bolton vibes: He matches the book description way better than the person they used in the show
