Yeah, they probably don't see Newsom as a fascist. Opposing Trump, the architect of our current fascist state, is pretty important when it comes to earning the anti-fascist label. I think that podcast was a really bad idea, and this current approach is a fantastic one.
Newsom's "current approach" is being a fascist sympathizer who is adopting the same, fascist aesthetics that Trump is using in hopes of boosting his own popularity and image. it is bad. bsky.app/profile/b3an...
Newsom is already fear-mongering about trans people who transition under the age of 26 while he also openly agrees with far-right, anti-LGBTQ+ bigotry here. my quoted reply here is a reply to a recent clip of Newsom on a podcast: bsky.app/profile/b3an...
He is employing the aesthetics as satire. Very effective satire that is driving Republicans crazy.
tell that to Newsom defenders. they're eating it up, as intended.
Its a game for two players idiot. Dems also worked to implment fascist policy before Trump. Dems planned to betray us the working class long before Trump. www.aclu.org/press-releas...
