Gavin Newsom will do NOTHING to Differentiate himself from one of the MOST Hated people in American History? THAT sounds like OUR MAN!

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.

Watching them do the 99% Hitler shit in real time

Feels like I’m strapped to a chair but my sleleton is trying to climb out of it

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.

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

going to have to change your name to Guardian

[–] Mutalisk@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago

The Guardian of the Republic (Chinese: 共和国卫士) is an honorary title awarded by the then Premier Li Peng and Chairman of the Central Military Commission Deng Xiaoping to military personnel who had made contributions or were seriously injured or died in the during the Tiananmen Square massacre on June 4, 1989

... I don't think libs will like me any more after I am done with Mutalisk puberty catgirl-salute

The Democrats are the funniest political party in history

[–] microfiche@hexbear.net 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

Vote blue no matter who (unless they criticize Israel)

At the same time, the dipshit is featuring in ads begging Canadians to visit California and drink their wine. wonder-who-thats-for

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

[–] InexplicableLunchFiend@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

he's so creepy half the fandom is convinced he's a vampire or white walker or something

[–] THEPH0NECOMPANY@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago

I am unironicly convinced that book Roose Bolton is a skinwalker that is actively wearing a skin suit and that's why his house sigil is the flayed man.

I would also not be surprised if Gavin Newsome peeled his skin off on live TV to reveal his true form.

CHUDs should be embarrassed that they make a threat out of a party of suck-ups.

[–] Monk3brain3@hexbear.net 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

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 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.

I think a large part of this is not being communist or communist adjacent, because if you are you have a framework to understand the world a lot better

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 1 day ago

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....
