How do Democrats get their mojo back? Definitely not by doing what California Governor Gavin Newsom done did! Which was to bring racist, antisemitic, oppressed-by-sign-language, short-pants wearing human Adobe pinch tool Charlie Kirk onto the first episode of his new podcast, and lap up Kirk’s advice to hop on the hateful, idiotic “banning transgender girls and women from sports” train with no pushback. And THEN inviting old three-shirts Steve Bannon on for a klatch about “populism” on his show, too, where they chatted it up in comrade-to-comrade tones, and Newsom politely did not push back as Bannon insisted Donald Trump won the 2020 election.
Watch if you like groaning JESUS CHRIST WHY ARE YOU SO CHATTY WITH THAT CRIMINAL at your screen. [link]
Unshockingly, a follow-up poll after Newsom’s Charlie Kirk interview found that people really did not respond well to the supplication, and it sank Newsom’s favorability by a whopping 10 points. Surprise, surprise, the Republicans who already hated him him still hate him; Democrats were disgusted, and respondents from both parties wondered why he was podcasting at all instead of, like, doing his job as governor, a job he’s still supposed to be working at for another year until term limits kick him out.
All I saw was one short clip of Bannon smugly calling the honorable and decent Elizabeth Warren “Pocahontas.” Newsome could have pushed back, called it racist, and refused to allow it, but instead of having the proper moral response, he laughed. LAUGHED! What if Bannon had used the N-word? Would Newsome have laughed then?
I used to support the idea of him running for president, but with that revolting show of appeasement, he lost my vote.
I have been wondering why Dems aren’t just surrendering, many seem to be openly supporting Republican treason. The only conclusion I can come to is that they have surrendered our country to the MAGA Nazis, and are now terrified of retaliation.
