Liking and supporting what Gavin Newsom is DOING is not a pledge in blood to vote for him in 2028. Some people need to get a grip.

Why does imitating Trump get MAGA Fox News so angry?

So if it's a choice between Trump (or a Trump appendage of some description) and Newsom is that gonna be a difficult decision?

My father was a proud Irish-American WWII veteran whose antipathy to all things British was only sharpened when the ship on which he was a CPO spent time in Derry. But he willingly accepted those Brits as allies because they were FIGHTING GODDAMNED NAZIS. 😠

Exactly. Newsom is inspiring all of us to get our game on. We've got a 440-day relay to midterms, and it's a long road to 2028. Plenty of room for other fighters.

There's been an uptick in anti-Newsom purity trolls. Probably because his trump satirization has been effective. I love what he's doing now. But come 2028, he will get the same reasonable consideration from me that all other dem candidates will.

Trump won by about 2M votes. The trans community represents about 3M votes, and Newsom's already lost those. Do the math.

Not to mention that the entire LGBTQ community represents about 30 million voters. We are the second largest Dem voting block in the country (after Black Americans), and I assure you that the vast majority of gay people I know will NEVER vote for Newsom.

maybe you're not saying that, but you are saying that you can overlook him harming vulnerable communities if it means "owning trump." then, when a member of that vulnerable community suggests you shouldn't blindly praise him, you descend on them like fucking wolves.

I'm not even thinking about 2028 (or 2026, for that matter). AFTER we put out the trumpster fire, THEN we can discuss the merits of the candidates. There will be plenty of time for that. I can't stand Chuck Schumer, but if he were doing this (ha) he would have my full support and encouragement.

Anyone insisting on reducing Newsom’s efforts to some 2028 play shouldn’t be taken seriously. Newsom understands that 2028 won’t happen if we don’t get this right next year. Anyone focused on 2028 doesn’t truly get the threat we face right now.

I think folks are just responding negatively to the knee-jerk reaction of the usual suspects, who MUST have a superhero/superheroine to stan. (It’s unserious, and bodes poorly for the next election cycles, if any.) A good social media team isn’t what makes a good candidate/campaign. Good policy is.

Hi there, I totally get this but I will say, the trans community is hurting right now, badly, and this sort of messaging is contributing to that hurt. Have you considered also trying to write or call Newsom's office to not only thank him for the good work but to urge him to support us trans folks?

Thank you for your reply. I have been seriously concerned by what is happening in our country to trans rights & have been very disappointed in Brwsom and many center left Dems comments about the trans community. I fully support trans rights and can and do call reps. That said, I do applaud Newsome

"Basic human and civil rights for ALL" isn't a "purity test" by any stretch. It's the bare minimum a democrat should be standing for.

If you oppose just one small group of people’s right to exist, you are a fascist. There’s no such thing as “less fascist”. Trans rights are human rights. Everything else is fascism.

This is not a matter of perfection tho. We are asking for the bare minimum. Do not oppose civil rights for minorities and oppose genocide. The idea that an equitable system can check his fuckery is sadly not the case. Look at how trans rights have been curtailed in Cali. I recommend Pritzker
