Gavin Newsom continues to troll Trump

This is kinda juvenile, but you can't deny it's also fucking great because you know it gets to him.

The stupid shit gets him.
Conservatives are weird made them flip the fuck out.
- It's because they are thin skinned milk sops who will cry incivility at the mereest of insults. I grew up round them and still live amongst them, the number of them who I've gotten to throw a fit by being a blasé ass is frankly amazing, I don't even have to try just speaking shitty Latin is enough to piss them off.
Trump is a diaper baby. It's ok to treat him like one.

Gavin Newsom's an establishment politician first and anything else second.

He's vetoed trans protections, sold out unions and appeared on a far right podcast to showcase his anti trans views.

For now he's an opponent of fascism, but his interests are not the interests of the American people. He'll gladly sell us out if it benefits his career.

Big tent comrade. Some of us fart in our sleep, but we either climb in this thing together or else we both sleep in our own separate cardboard boxes.
- These leftist kids today aren't getting it, but this is the only message that matters. If anyone is upset by this, feel free to craft a coherent argument.
- "We must assuredly all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately."
- Yes, climb into the box with all the people willing to sell minority rights away to appeal to fascists. Like, "Hey you guys hate queer people right? Well, we actually will tolerate that over here! If you guys want to implement politics intended to drive trans kids to kill themselves, hey thats totally fine we would be willing to do that if you vote for us!"
  This is the box youre asking trans people to climb into?
- What a strange way to invite me over. Get fucked. I'm building a palace in the ditch. It might be made of cardboard but you're welcome to come and it doesn't smell like shit.
Thank you! Someone else who gets that he is still dogshit. He’s not liquid dogshit like republicans but he is still dogshit
- Trans rights and human rights in general are not up for debate, put trans folx rights on the negotiating table and all of human rights will be there too. Whether you realize it or not they will all be there, so do not support anyone who is willing to throw my people under the bus.
  And before anyone even tries to make the asinine argument of “don’t let good be the enemy of perfection”. How about you don’t let good be corrupted by evil? Take the bad apples out before they spoil the bunch!
  Gavin Newsom might say the right things sometimes but he has made it clear he is willing to toss away my people’s rights. He is flirting with the same dangerous ideology as the fascists.
He also has waged a huge war on homeless people while his people become homeless from fires, mudslides, etc. Homelessness is genocide. He is for genocide. He is not a good person and is below the standard for basic human decency. We deserve non-genocidal people.

Newsom did the math. He is the only high ranking neoliberal Democrat, who activly fights Trump. It is very obvious that fighting Trump is incredibly popular and also that all of the further left candidates are not going to get funding from billionaires. That puts Newsom into a very strong position to become the next US president, if there is a free and fair election.

all of the further left candidates are not going to get funding from billionaires.
That's why I want them to run, and not Newsom. If he wins, backed by billionare money, he's just going to keep perpetuating the same system, the same way that Biden and Obama did.
I fucking hope he does't run for president. He's just a younger Joe Biden. He's not a neoliberal at ALL.
If anything, he's just representing the CA vibe here. Points for that, but no more than this.
- Repressing. He's merely doing the minimum California demands of him.
  Seriously, he's still fucking hated for blatantly throwing trans people under the bus, handing out with alt-right grifters, and finally acting like the rich scumbag everyone knew he was but no one quite had proof yet.
- Who will have a better chance in this climate?
I think you're missing the news about JB Pritzker.

The second Newsom stops being a transphobe is when he gets my vote.

I guess I'm glad somebody on the left is finally reciprocating the populist style memeing necessary to contend with trump and current far right politics. "Fighting fire with fire" would feel a lot better though if our flamethrower supported trans rights, among other things.

Trump won twice not just by being a memelord but by leaning fully into the populism necessary for his base. You can't achieve a 'left' version of that by just meeting him at the meme level. The contending policies have to be so popular that they're obvious.

He's definitely a milquetoast douche when it comes to trans rights, BUT he also isn't actively trying to legislate them out of existence and CA has some of the strongest trans legal protections in the country. It's a low bar to clear, sadly.
