Is it really failing when you so often seem to wind up on the same team?
California Gov. Gavin Newsom doubles down on his criticism of the proposed billionaire wealth tax
Sometimes it feels like Trump was the response of a crazy abusive asshole (Thiel/Musk/broligarchs) who "tried to do things the nice way by giving you somebody like Gavin Newsome," but since people didn't want that he decided to show how crazy he can really be for a 4 years to wear you down the next time around (if you're lucky enough to even get a next time around).
Then threatening this bullshit of "if you expect me to pay taxes, you're going to regret it. I'm warning you... you're going to be so sorry once I'm gone"
It's like stop flapping your fucking gums and leave already you piece of shit, nobody wants you, and we're already in the toilet with you here. America can do bad all by herself. At least then we won't have to deal with your bullshit on top of everything else.
Anyway, long winded way of saying, I don't trust Gavin Newsome anymore than I trust Peter Thiel. Fuck them both.
Just because they're on the same side doesn't mean they aren't greedy.
More Dems in office means more bribes for them.
Like more bribes from the Dems or more Dems willing to accept bribes? Either way, that's my point. It's not really a Dems vs Republican problem when it comes to a Newsome Dem. vs. a Republican. It's a problem of a bipartisan oligarchy seeking to destroy what's left of a democracy.
You could argue it's already been destroyed, but then that just leads back to the question of why bother wasting money on all the theatrics and big threats if they really are untouchable? Why would they need to make this campaign attacking a billionaire tax? Why would the supreme court need to give California the ok before giving the red states the same blessing?
