Conservatives aren’t wrong when they shit on how dumb California is as a national punching bag, they are just even dumber and more deeply married to their cult-like beliefs than Californians could ever be, even in the worst caricature of Californians possible.
California really does seem to still believe in the progressive potential of Sillicon Valley, especially when it is violently ripped from tech workers hands and given to techbro billionaires to blindly destroy, and it makes me want to vomit just thinking about how self defeating and smarmy of an ideology that is to hold in 2026.
Gavin Newsom perfectly encapsulates this emptiness inherent to Californian culture.
And unfortunately, if we have elections in 2028, he will be the next US president. And any time I point out that he’s a terrible person with a shit track record with LGBTQIA+ and POC groups, I get blasted with downvotes. Electing him will just be trading one festering sore for another.
Same, it is infuriating. Neoliberals are insufferable ideological cowards who will ALWAYS backstab you rather than challenge the status quo. It is so obviously apparent this is 1000% who Gavin Newsom is it hurts to even think about.
