Except it's really not; this is a very common view even among Democrats right now, and so although I understand you might not like it, you need to acknowledge it and come to terms with it. Because it is a fact. This isn't simply a "far right" view. Labeling opposition as "phobia" also doesn't help.

its so frustrating seeing everyone go NEWSOM IS AN ENEMY HES ANTI TRANS and there isn't an actual policy or anything he’s done as governor they can point to…. its just he had a convo on a podcast… that was itself rather reasonable. The hysteria around it is insane

My thoughts exactly. It makes me want to have a 3rd party so we can distance ourselves from this hysteria.

Third parties don't work. Mostly because they always lack any cogent animating principle. As is once again illustrated here.

I say this as a cis person myself, but don't you love it when cis people act like KJ and all the rest when it comes to people speaking out about their new idol they all follow? Newsom is a grifter, and they're all falling for it just like the MAGA lot did when it came to Trump.

Eh, my parents taught me to think for myself and form my own opinions, which is why I don't agree with their right wing leanings and am staunchly left 😂 That and I did grow up under the end of Thatcherism, Section 28 and New Labour. Couldn't be anything but left after that!
