My trajectory of learning about this Newsom fellow was amazing.

First heard of him existing when some Very Serious People were floating him as a replacement for Biden like two months ago
- Infer from that that he's progressive maybe?
Like right after that a big story how he forcefully cleared homeless encampments like a fucking cartoon villain
- So he's actually a weird little conservative in disguise?
Now this fucking nonsense.

How do you keep producing people like this, America?

Seems he resembles RFK Jr. more than a Democrat.

At least RFKJ has brainworms he can blame.
