This is how we needed to be dealing with Trump.
Maybe they will realize how insane Trump is when they see other people behaving the same way.
That's why I've been groping conservative women. If Trump can do it, so can I.
Not groping all over right? I have it on good authority that they only need to be grabbed by the pussy.
Yeah they love it
it's not funny when they joke about sexual assault and it's also not funny when people who you think would know better joke about sexual assault either. Probably the same people upvoting this trash that wonder why online spaces like this are such a sausage party. gee I wonder.
I don't think they let you do it if you're not a star.
This is how we need to be dealing with Republicans. Let's not pretend Trump is the source of the insanity or that it will be over when he goes away.
MAGA will implode when Trump croaks. They've spent nearly a decade propping up their faith in the man, lying to themselves that everything he does is OK. No one else will get that sort of devotion.
That's the one good thing about Trump. His movement dies with him for it is based on the man not his ideals
Yeah I really don’t get how people don’t already see that
Because people are fucking stupid.
Lmao, noice Gavin Newsom
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!
I'm willing to bet $100 that something stops him from doing it, they give up, and blame Republicans for it as they watch Democracy end.
Downvote me all you want, but history shows this is what happens.
No, youre absolutely right, that's the Democratic playbook. One page, dogeared, with a "your donors said NO!" note hastily scrawled in the margins.
Yah, Newsom is a stalking horse.
Wait is 9 seats enough to flip it?
That's pretty sad.
220-215 if all seats are filled right now Dems have 3 open (death) kid touchers have 1 (resigned).
Cali has 52 total with 9 being Red Texas has 38 total with 13 being Blue
Cali can wipe all 9 seats out. Lasson county is +22 Red with a population of about 37k. Nevada county is +5 with 96k pop. You can start stretching lines and eat up red counties quick.
Cali has a little over 10mil democrats vs almost 6mil republicans voters.
Texas has about 8mil democrats vs 6.6mil republicans. They can't swallow all the blue counties.
Republicans win bc they spread out to remote areas. Democrats lose bc they have massive numbers in dense areas.
A 1:1 vote would fix a lot of problems but republicans would be out. 3:1 would be the party outlook for blue:red.

If Texas couldn't swallow that blue registered voter lead, Abbott wouldn't be a third term governor
It was more so, texas can't do what california can. There will still be blue areas just not 13 anymore. Dallas, Houston, Fort Worth, Austin, and San Antonio are to populated to break up unlike Cali red areas.
Look at the Texas maps, the are jammed in.
I don't know much about Gavin Newsom but this a pretty epic style of tweeting. If that's how Trump wants to play ball then I say let him have it.
Really? Because personally, I fucking despise that our political discourse has become akin to a bunch of 6 year olds shouting at eachother on the playground.
He won’t do it.
You can say a lot about Newsom. Lack of follow through isn’t really one of them.
Besides, it’s incumbent on a special election to allow it.
It won’t happen, even if he tries.
He is trying to be the front-runner for the 2028 democrat president nominee. He'll do it! There is plenty to hate about him but follow through is not one.
I kinda hope he isn't. Dude is transphobic as all hell
Democrats are equal to Reagon. The are the "new" old republic. A few break the mold but very few and they are considered "far left".
He won’t do it. And, if he tries he will “fail,” for whatever reason.
I'll believe it when I see it myself
