It is still a right-wing propaganda show.
No wait, its Newsom’s show, and he’s inviting far-right pro-autocracy bigots, and acts like he’s one of them.
It appears Newsom has repeatedly announced he’s been seduced by the dark side of the force.
As today’s CR vote showed us in the US, the Democratic party is complicit, and Gavin Newsom can’t think past his political career to see they’re going to imprison him as an enemy of the state before there is ever an election again.
After the election we realized the Democratic party had two options: Go hard left and serve to restore government service to the public (thereby walking away from lobbyists and plutocrat money) or fade into irrelevance. It seems they like money so much they’re willing to risk getting long-knifed by OG right-wingers.
It wouldn’t be the first time the left-wing parties went Neville Chamberlain. It seems that other nations’ voters are also choosing far-right parties over neoliberal parties, if those are the only choices they are given.
If we’re going to stop the MAGA movement, autocracy and the holocaust they are oh-so-eager to get started, we need to start getting neighborhood nets and mutual aid orgs going.
(Sadly, I suck at social stuff so how to do that is beyond me. My current plan is to make a whole lot of Tollhouse cookies and give them to neighbors stating this situation.)
You may want to check your own elected officials and how tight they are with lobbyists and other agents of the ownership class. AOC and Bernie Sanders seem to be trying to build a resistance coalition but yeah, Newsom decided to keep the One Ring for himself.
Maybe I have other elected officials that might be useful.
Were using shouting and protest posters for now, but you may want to know where your supplies are for making molotovs. May it never come to that.
Would it help if I told you that your governor’s podcast is one of the Top Trending Shows on Apple Podcasts

That’s depressing.
