Realize, this has always been him. He is NOT a liberal. He is a conservative who calls himself a democrat.
That's called a liberal.
I wouldn't even say conservative, social fascist who hates poor and trans people.
Are people finally ignoring his paid PR xitter team? It was annoying when my family bought into that trick. Newsom was always a POS.
Yeah, a liberal.
Look up the word neo-liberal. Cause that is what you mean. Continually replying "Yeah, a liberal.", you sound like a moron.
Ahhh. Neo-liberal.
Gotta love that Orwellian marketing.
Neo-liberal. Neither new (neo), nor liberal.
Basically, same old fascist.
California! Uber Alles!
He used to be married to the woman that also used to be Trump Jr.’s fiancé.
Yup.
Welcome to newspeak, USA-flavor.
Still drinking hair of the dog to nurse the McCarthyian redscare hangover.
Layers deep into the newspeak. Liberal, conservative, democrat... all these terms already many contortions and inversions distanced from original meaning. Soon, even "him", "he" and "himself" too. Then even "is" and "not", and then the CIA's work will be done.
He is still overwhelmingly liberal and progressive. Calling him conservative is insane.
He is basically as conservative as you can be here in California while holding a state wide elected position and even that may not be true anymore with how things have shifted since the last governor election. Point is he is generally on the more conservative end of Californian politics, hell I know some Schwarzenegger style conservatives who are more progressive than him.
If only all those agents hadn't told us to not use the political compass, we might be less lost now. :3
