It's terrorism of brown people. The KKK went from riding around on horseback at night in 1867 to riding around in SUVs in the middle of the day in 2025 with the full protection and sanction of the so-called "federal government."

When fascism appeared on the scene in 1922, astute American observers labeled them the Italian KKK. As true in 2025, as it was 103 years ago.

The Democratic Party is a coalition party. There is no one candidate that is going to equally appeal to every Democrat. The goal is defeating the Nazis. Take a cue from the Allied coalition that accomplished that in 1945. Not everyone gets everything they want in a coalition.

I don't want to smear all those genuinely opposed to Newsom. However, I am very skeptical when I see an anti-Newsome post or comment and 14 or 20 manga avatars, and they're always manga avatars, appear out of nowhere, and pile on. It stinks of right wing/Russian troll farm and manufactured outrage.

That's fair. Whether he is, in fact, an empty suit remains to be seen. Churchill was regarded as a walking disaster in May '40 by many in his own party and certainly by the Labor party. He was thought to be reckless and given to hare brained schemes. Right now, we need a fighter, and Newsom is it.

I will go out on a limb and say that Newsom is giving Churcillian vibes. Winston was, and remains, not everyone's favorite, but he was willing to stand up against fascism at a time when real leadership was lacking. Newsom may be the person we need right now at this moment.
