In suggesting that Democrats were wrong about trans athletes and cozying up to MAGA favorites, Newsom's presidential ambitions are more craven than ever.

Pundits, analysts, and some Democrat politicians have recently begun suggesting that Harris lost due to the party leaning too far left, as evidenced by the support of trans rights.

Blaming an empty gesture of goodwill toward vulnerable people for the party’s failure is an interesting form of introspection.

They did the same after Hillary. Dumbfucks.

"I am currently going through a transitional phase. Please bare with me and witness me" thanks Gavin, go fuck yourself and next time be transparent with your mental shortcomings. It's a slippery slope, gav, next comes the sexual assault and pedophilia

next comes the sexual assault and pedophilia

It was my understanding that these preceded the transition to right wing ideology.

If Dems rally behind him, then they really didn't learn a damn thing.

I have no real desire to listen to a full episode of Gavin Newsom and Charlie Kirk, but am curious to what topics they did disagree on.

The more "we're here for the power" and self-aware kind of far-right people use the term "libcuck" (and also "leftcuck") in relation of defanging their opposition by making them take the moral high ground (their proudest achievement is that many people consider Kiwifarms a "necessary evil" because they sometimes go after animal abusers (it's all virtue signaling though), while they don't hold this same standard to antifa or leftist callouts), making them "cancel" each other, and getting them to move to the right on certain topics.

Note that with Muskrat in power, they can just manufacture proofs on Xitter, and just "anonymize" the nonexistent victim.

He knows the old game is over. Barron and Jnr have no support, and the Oligarchs need a figurehead to take the heat, so why not Gavin?
