As much as I dislike Gavin Newsom this is what opposition actually looks like, play dirty, be petty. Don't give them an inch.

I mean, I'm pretty sure this is just a tweet rather than an actual ban.
Most of the shocking stuff you've heard about is just tweet-deep posturing. The real damage is caused by subtle changes to laws that no one is paying attention to.
That makes more sense tbh, I was wondering, does he mean not allowing him the permits? How does he control that? So if it's just a tweet that actually makes way more sense lol
"Twitter is saying" tho.
Two different breeds of authoritarian in a pissing match?
BAN KID ROCK FROM PERFORMING IN CALIFORNIA. THIS TALENTLESS FRAUD HAS BEEN TALKING DOWN OUR BEAUTIFUL STATE FOR TOO LONG. THE CALIFORNIAN PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO HEAR HIS TERRIBLE MUSIC POLLUTE THE ATMOSPHERE ANYMORE. THE RADICAL RIGHT REPUBLICANS AND THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA WILL STOP AT NOTHING TO TRY AND REVERSE THE TREMENDOUS PROGRESS WE HAVE MADE FOR OUR PEOPLE. BUT WE WILL FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT. FOR CALIFORNIA AND FOR AMERICA. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
First thought: I hate it.
Second thought: ok I get it.
Honestly the biggest surprise out of this story is that Kid Rock is still performing

Let me fix.
Done.
I know Newsom is fighting dirty like the Magas, but this is only gonna get worse and blocking free speech will be normalized. Blocking a band because you don't like them is just gonna start happening everywhere.
That’s why you guys are in the mess you are today, the right is fighting with bazookas you guys insist on fighting with one arm tied behind your back out of some sense of decorum
Using their tactics against them is the only thing they understand. They have the power to stop it at any time.
Once people realize how this policy they support can be used against them, they usually demand a compromise.
yeah it needs to get worse for things to change, fighting cleanly isn't cutting it
Thank god someone finally did this lol
I think the left needs to play the game we at once point half jokingly accused trump of. Start committing acts so obviously outside of the intent of the law, but safely within the letter of the law, that the right takes advantage of it and sues our changes the law to tighten the loopholes. Fire people for being Christian, forbid a newspaper from reporting a negative story, publicly accept insider information and bread about how much money you made by knowing when to buy and sell, openly accept a bribe by starting a fake crypto, and cashing out right after a foreign company buys it for a million per coin and then dumps it. Make people understand openly how many hidden rules are free and open for the rich and political and shut them down.
I don't think that this will work what will probably end up happening is that the trump administration will only go after democrats who do this while ignoring anything coming from the republican party.
Even if it did I don't think the response to the trump administration taking our civil liberties away is to take more of them away I don't think anything positive can come from this.
In addition this will be used as propaganda to rile up their base
If people can't understand that the trump administration is taking away civil liberties I don't think democrats abusing the same rules will convince them.
Is someone reporting this as news? Who did this?
Damn Kid ain’t long for this world, apparently.
Anyway,
