Newsom’s recent social media blitz has been brilliant, but for each progressive that’s dunking on Newsom for various (very VALID) reasons, there are 20 centrists crying about it.

A number of troll farm swarms have been launched against Governor Newsom, even before the redistricting issue. Check the complainer’s profile. Are the follower/following counts low? Blank banner? No photos? Probably a troll farm account.

Ditto

Thank god for Newsom but one man cannot save America. Our politicians are useless. Americans are not paying attention. We are doomed. They have been planning this for 30 years. How was no one prepared for anything? I’m not going live through this. They will be in NY soon. I can’t handle.

We fight, or we die. Those are the options before us. This is war. And we are not prepared. Doesn't change what it is.

What does that mean ? War ? How do we fight specifically?

We better quickly figure that out. I'd guess guerilla warfare eventually. Or state succession. Or military coup. Not having good options doesn't negate our being at war. Otherwise, we can watch, "vote," and settle in for what will likely be the worst version of authoritarianism in history.

I do write everyday - Republicans and Democrats. I have marched. I have made many suggestions. I am ignored. Other Americans are living in a bubble because they are protecting their stress levels. I don’t own a gun. I would support many things but talk is different than action. Go out & organize.

What did you suggest that was ignored?

Organize the war, the succession, etc. A plan is needed. Organizing is needed. Remember ACT UP - they fought for aids research. Everything was researched, planned, meetings, etc. activism is hard, heartbreaking. It takes action and sacrifice. Who is doing that ? No one. How do you plan a war? IDK.

Exactly. I'm all in. But have no idea with whom or doing what. We need an authentic underground. And it feels stupid to say that on socials ~ but do people still even meet irl?

I agree. Start by going to meeting. Try Invisible or and other Progressive group. Try writing or calling Democrats. Look into Act up. See if anyone is around to help. Places to start

Thank you.

Unfortunately that section of the 2nd amendment is heavily eroded. In some states it would be very much illegal organize anything even vaguely similar to a militia or even offer pmilitary training. The Oathkeepers used loopholes and danced around jurisdiction

This skeet is worded very carefully for reasons. I'd encourage you to very carefully look into the laws where you are, it's interesting stuff and might save you or friends from an FBI visit.

How do we fight ? , you ask. Start by supporting Newsom Donate to the cause. Look for rally’s locally. Go Meet other resisters. Start a rally. Raise money to buy advertising. Keep speaking out. Loud.

We came up some specifics, maybe I’ll make a list. You’re so right on Ludnick. He is a very bad guy.

Right!?!

Agree

It's fucking Republican trolls

So they thought the guy that separated families in his first administration was going to be the better potus to help Palestein.

At this point, we're drowning and Newsom is the only lifejacket I see. I'll assume anyone badmouthing or trying to dirty him up is a Ruskie asset.

I've always though Newsom was a bit of a slippery character, but I 100% support what he's doing.

Yes!

None of us here have helped a single child in Gaza.

I hate that Trump and the Republicans won in the US. I'm glad that butchers and childkillers swimming in AIPAC's money were kicked out of the White House. You Americans who abstained and voted either for Trump or Harris and are now whining about Trump, you just got what you deserved.

I might be blocked but the Gaza genocide started with Biden-Harris' approval and active support. Instead of listening to those within the Democratic Party and the voters who supported Biden to defeat Trump in 2020 calling for an end to the genocide in Gaza, Harris and Biden shamefully silenced them.

I hate Trump and the Republicans. Democrata like Biden or Harris aren't any better. Gaza genocide hasn't worsened under Trump, it was already catastrophic under Biden. Neither Biden nor Kamala gave a fuck about the starved and ill children, or the people burnt alive or the flooding tents in winter.

….have you not seen Miriam Adelson who gave 100s of millions to Trump? Or does that not count? This makes it seem like Trump took less Israel money.

*Democrats

If Trump is back in the White House, it's only the Democratic Party's fault for supporting a genocidal fake State like Israel.

Let's say this plain. You're dumb and clearly don't understand how to either identify or prioritize risks. Moralizing while under active attack has to be the dimmest response I've come across on blue sky. Go read a book, and get back to us.

Don't blame me when the Democrats are the only ones to blame for bringing the orange Nazi back. If women's rights or LGBTQ+ people's rights are at stake in the US is all because of Biden and Harris. You are ok with people being bombed, displaced and starved to death. I'm not.

Muted. Read a book, dude. Then get back to us.

Go fuck yourself. Try to read a book and spot the differences between what Israel is doing thanks to Butcher Biden and Holocaust Harris and what the Nazis did in the past century. Review your values and check if you are human.

I'm A 76 old vet I saw the Cuban crisis,Nam,Nixon JFK RFK MLK Y2K.I'VE seen fear But I never had the Devils evil hand clutching my throat before.WE will protest for this generation and thereafter.WE will not let our soul starve for a lack of freedom,WE will reborn our dreams,FOR I'm not ONE; I'm WE!

Listen, I’m sick of the debate!! Nitpicking is not an option in these times, I will support anyone willing to put their life on the line to fight for democracy!! Without democracy you’ll never have another choice again!!

Exactly I have been saying. We CANNOT afford to pick and choose a fighter to battle against authoritarian rule. I believe those screaming Newsom did that and did this must be MAGAts. They have no intention of fighting for democracy.

you’d be wrong. Believe it or not, it’s possible to be anti-Trump, anti-fascist, and anti-centrist. Too many establishment dems are centrists that are only concerned with maintaining the status quo, and their personal comfort. They won’t fight for REAL, LASTING, reform. Term limits, ending CU etc

Debating policy to me seems insane right now, there is a small group of people making decisions for the entire country, we have no say (not even conservatives) in what happens next, if we don’t support ANYONE willing to fight to win back our democracy, GAME OVER, we lose all ability to have a voice!

It’s far too early to worry about declaring a candidate for 2028, but it’s also far too early to get mad when people point out a popular figure’s flaws.

I’m not mad, everyone has flaws, I just hope the democrats don’t make the same mistake twice, we need to rally around whoever the candidate turns out to be!
