  1. Idk how his supporters see him vocally turn so quickly on trans people and think he won't "change his mind" on a whole lot of other shit too if he thinks it'll help him politically.

    I don't think he ever really gave a shit about trans or queer people to begin with anyway.

  2. Remember when Newsom vetoed a bill on capping insulin prices? Or when he ordered the state to “clear homeless camps” aka steal and destroy their personal property? Or when he agreed with the fascists on trans issues? Or when he platformed fascists?

    I will NEVER vote for that cunt

  3. Couldn’t even give people 2 days of “I think he’s reprehensible but his fight is good” before hitting the circuit

  4. There is literally no reason to be backing this man other than you agree with him on issues like this

    And don’t talk to me about the fucking memes (which put money in Trump donors pockets) do you (libs) honestly care when the right memes you? Yeah…

  6. "ermmm why do you STUPID TANKIES demand such a silly insignificant thing like 'not throwing trans people under the bus' when theres a GODDAMN CHEETO IN THE WHITEHOUSE!!!!"

  7. the democrats are going to run this guy, suffer a historic loss due to their own hubris and just general obsession with courting a non-existent voter base (“moderate” republicans), blue maga libs spend trump’s 3rd term yelling at people on bsky, cycle continues. time is a flat circle.

  8. Yeah, we're just using this asshole to troll Trump and maybe get some extra House seats in California

    He's not and won't be a serious candidate

    He blew it already

  9. I'm glad we're burning off the Newsom momentum far, far away from a presidential election. This shit won't last; he sucks six ways from Sunday.

  10. It seems a lot of people are conflating support for Newsom epically trolling Trump/MAGA, with support for him as a political candidate. I am loving his team’s current PR blitz. I am so here for it. Yet he would never be my pick for Prez. He is problematic on that front for soooooo many reasons.

  11. I'm honestly curious; if the trans community, which I truly support, was able to secure every right except for full participation in women's sports, would that be acceptable? And if the answer is no, why not? I'm not advocating, I'm asking.

  12. I'm all for watching right wing tittybabies piss their pants because someone finally made fun of those morons to their faces.

    Now we need to have someone do it louder, more aggressively, and with politics that don't suck shit and an agenda besides corporate evil.

  13. Damn. Maybe that "let's behave like trump" thing is not to be contrary after all. Maybe he's being sneaky about going full on MAGA. I hate people who talk out of both sides of their face.

  14. I only have one vote that probably doesn’t matter, regardless I will do the overwhelmingly fair thing and give Dems 3 years advance notice that if they want it, they should not have Gavin Newsom as the nominee.

  15. This is from a month ago, but here’s a snippet of some of what Gavin said.

    As a trans person, I’m happy he’s attacking Trump, and I’m okay forgiving him if he apologizes to the trans community and promises to do better (and not listen to the bad advisors). That would require humility.

  16. I did not see the podcast and I do not know Newsom. On the other hand, we know he is not a Nazi who wants to tear up the constitution, Rigg elections and kill minorities and people of color. As long as Miller, Leo, vought gnome and taco are around, Newsom is a hero by comparison.

  17. I am starting to get the impression that Newsom is the anti-Mamdani that the Dems hope we call all rally around and avoid (or at least push off) discussions about economic injustice.

  18. How did the purity test work out for ya in 2024?

    Still glad Kamala lost because she wasn't woke enough??

  19. I don’t understand why we can’t shut this shit down with utter contempt, the way we would if someone spouted racist slurs in public. Like, you can’t make an honest effort to use someone’s preferred pronouns? Are you stupid? Do you deliberately mispronounce people’s names too?

  20. Every time I feel grudgingly supportive of him or at least laugh at his tweet parodies, he goes and does something like this again. Fuck.

  21. Fucking gavin newsom. Half of America's voting population is convinced that he is a satan worshiping communist and he thinks he can win them over by promising to bring integrity back to womens sports LOL. You shouldnt support him because hes a transphobe but you really shouldnt because hes a moron

  22. Newsom is a politician, not a leader, not a unifier.

    But he’s a straight White male so the establishment is like HECK YEAH.

    Sorry, future generations. If any exist.

  23. I love the mocking of trump! I believe redistricting is necessary and I hope other states follow GCN in doing so. IF, and I mean seriously IF, we get fair elections in 26, then we can choose a presidential candidate for 28.

  24. And just last night someone was lecturing me about how he's actually pro-LGBTQ+ rights and supports trans people, as if he changed his mind after agreeing with Chuckles the Kirk not that long ago.

  25. He may have always felt this way personally but only now feels emboldened to announce it to the world. New transphobes are the most dangerous because they're the most motivated to act on their hatred. Newsom becoming President will be disastrous to the trans community. He'll be worse than Trump

  26. This whole conversation is the reason America is in the state it is. Not everyone is going to agree with you or make your priority their priority. Even when you feel slighted treat people the way you want to be treated. Do you and love yourself

  27. Don’t worry, President Don Jr. or President Vance will put all the trans people into nice little camps, where they can have their own sports teams, schools, and even a camp newspaper.

  28. More concerned with bashing trans people on right-wing podcasts than opposing Trump, and we’re supposed to treat this guy as our saving grace?

  29. Can we get a link or at least a name of the podcast where this happened? Maybe even a transcript? Some source other than this pic?

  30. I like his maga trolling but his throwing marginalized communities under the bus for clout is giving me Hillary Vibes so...

  31. Absolutely fucking disqualifying. If you're transphobic, you're MAGA. Period. I was actually willing to give this homunculus a chance if he'd at least fucking changed or tried to grow something resembling a soul but clearly that's beyond his manufacturing. NGMI. He can stick to posting lol

  33. I'm not surprised. This is the slimeball who tried to lure Canadians to visit his state because tourism is down and he needs our money. Ignore ICE and just throw caution to the wind. He doesn't care about us, he just cares about our money.

  34. wow you brought out some of the very dullest of our “allies” with this one. lots of “but this is almost a month old! what even is a month, a year? two years? who’s to say. I am too cultured a gentleman to fall for such sinister trickery” from people who are now blocked and therefore no longer exist.

  35. Imagining a reality where everyone celebrates over a Newsom win not realizing that we're about to get Keir Starmered

  36. Jeez, can we not do this? I have plenty of issues with Newsom, but he's fighting the fight that needs to be fought right now and I'm glad he's doing it. You don't have to vote for him or even like him. But none of what's happening now in this country gets turned around unless...

  37. This is the kind of baggage that SHOULD prevent him from being the leader the Democrats need.

    Let him troll Trump all he wants...I'm all for it.

    But NO Democrat should be looking at him as the saviour of the party.

  38. Gavin Newsom will not win the 2028 Presidential Election.

    If all goes well, this will be because he lost the Primary, and a better candidate won the Primary and went on to win the General Election.

    But if people feel like putting a thumb on the scale and giving him an edge in the primary... 🤷

  39. "The Left needs it's own Trump" as in, a dude who will be elevated and celebrated not for the merit of his ideas, commitment to serving the disenfranchised, or even understanding and representing his party's core values, but for his ability to troll and anger the opposition.

    That always goes well.

  40. Can't stand up to MAGA and Trump if you concede on one of their biggest issues. Conceding to the lesser fascist middle isn't gonna be good enough for the fascists when their guy is doing it more, and is gonna lose you their opposition.

  41. Had zero path to potus in 28 until he started baiting Trump and no other governor went as hard. He’s Clinton/Obama 2.1 Neoliberal Frat Boy and has gone from worthless Cali liberal to D28 front runner in a summer. If his redistricting takes the house back, he’ll be the DNC golden boy.

  42. Let's make a new rule that these people aren't allowed to use ANY pronouns anymore since it's such a big deal to them. No more pronouns for you. From now on, they must only use proper nouns.

  43. This is older news being repackaged as though it were new to draw outrage and lose support for Gavin and his team. Don't take your eyes off the ball here.
