To be honest, it probably actually was a slip of the tongue. He’s nowhere near that clever.

Mr. Genie? Yeah, this guy right here.

Republicans are already voting for it, you don’t need to keep selling it to them.

Unsurprising, since RFK Jr. himself has criticized vaccines and spread misinformation.

“This wasn’t supposed to happen to the nice immigrants I use know, just the bad ones Fox News tells me about!”

My dude is dialed the fuck in.

They exist to make money, not do journalism.

let’s work with the Hitler salute guy who explicitly donated a bunch of money to buy access and spent months using that access to cripple the government for decades to come.

So the solution to defeat Nazi 2.0 is to cater to Nazi 2.1?

Someone firing on their foot soldiers is the best gift anyone could give a fascist would-be dictator.

Nobody in this comment thread has even insinuated that any Democrat would be this bad. I was talking about Newsom being a Democrat who wouldn’t try to address the underlying issues that have made people open to fascism, and the other commenter was talking about centrist Democrats’ apparent electoral weakness. You (and the other guy) are arguing with a straw man.

Are you suggesting they’re afraid of gun owners firing on ICE to protect their undocumented neighbors? Or that the people they’re detaining may defend themselves with force, even though undocumented immigrants can’t purchase or possess firearms in red OR blue states?

They’re afraid of agitating their voters and losing votes. Guns have nothing to do with it.

Blue states. They’re raiding blue states and ignoring red states.

If any kind of anti-corruption effort is a leftist dream, then yeah I guess we are fucked. Thanks for your contribution.

Having a candidate who will at least make a good faith effort to address the corruption underlying our politics is the bare minimum, and Newsom ain’t it. He’d just put things on pause until the next fascist can gain power, like Biden did.

Optimistic of you to assume their mission won’t be a return to normalcy.

arrest him

Please don’t, if we make it to 2028 I don’t want him to be the nominee.

was there a legit reason to send in the National Guard?

No. The protests were a few dozen people, but immediately ballooned more than tenfold after that announcement. I wouldn’t be surprised if the administrative costs of processing Trump’s order cost more than what damage had been done by that point.

This was just escalation: inciting further unrest to justify a crackdown.

Nobody has done more to disprove the “Rich people are smarter than everyone else” idea.

Except the monkeys have bazookas, so collateral damage is highly likely.
