Once again you need to check your history books. Neville Chamberlain went to Hitler in the 30’s to try and talk Hitler into promising to leave the UK alone. Spoiler, it didn’t work, Fascists don’t play by the rules, just like we see now, and the only way to fight Hitler was to fight Hitler.

That's not even a response to what I said. If Newsom was leading an actual war on Trump, that'd be rad as hell. He'd still be an anti-trans, anti-worker, anti-homeless pos though.

...trans people aren't really their genders. And most importantly, it's a stepping stone. Rightwingers don't actually care about women's sports. That would require caring about women. It's just something they think they can get Dems to compromise on so they can use it as a rhetorical victory....

...Sports bans will be framed as an admission from "the left" that trans women are too dangerous to be around "real" women and used as a justification for further limitations of trans rights. And even if all that weren't true, Newsom would still be transphobic because he's told extremely...

...make homeless encampments illegal in California, even gleefully helping to destroy one as a photo op once. Since you've revealed yourself to be a transphobe, I'm just gonna mute you.
