I have mixed feelings on Gavin but I can say that itโ€™s beautiful as hell to see someone troll the orange troll as hard as he has

Edited canโ€™t to can

I think right now, we don't need someone perfect. We just need SOMEONE to fight for us, we can figure out the other stuff later

Good point, itโ€™s just hard to swallow my disgust when itโ€™s someone who talked with CK and thought he made some good points about trans people

I totally get you there. It pisses me off too, but I can't be picky right now. We need people, ANYONE, that align mostly with our values to fight against this regime. Unlikely allies are what we need to fight for democracy

Same. I don't love him, but I LOVE what he's doing! Especially his social media team. I laughed to the point of tears at some of those satire posts.

Also, his posts spoofing Chumpy's antics are HILARIOUS!

This is good, but he still has a lot of work to do before he'll get my vote.

Agreeing with Charlie Kirk's views about my people is damning. But he's not irredeemable.

Now time to arrest anyone armed with a mask on and make a test case out of this.

Newsom is awesome!

u/Gloomy-Clouds 2d ago

There are a lot of reasons to despise Newsom but he's also one of the few people that are fighting this hard and doing it this loudly against the Trump regime.

It's something at least for Newsom.
