My favorite incident of Newsom’s turning bowls of shit into fresh cream was the re-opening of the biggest LA freeway, burned and melted in a dramatic fire after neglecting years of warnings about the heaps of flammable junk swept under the overpass. All the striving Dems, Newsom, Karen Bass, Padilla and Kamala celebrated their competence and smooth executive ability after propping it back up a few days ahead of schedule with never a peep about the cause.
As a Canadian who grew up in the Trudeau era, GN reeks of someone with the same narcissistic and false persona, except with a possibly deeper malice.
The one positive thing about the horrible and disgusting man beyond words Justin T was that at least every single person in the country, including JT, knew he was literally retarded.
Everyone knew he was only elected because he was good looking, and past that he was just a pure puppet front men for globalist WEF forces.
New scum is the same, except there’s a deeper aura of evil about him, a sort of joker vibe that sexually delights in destruction for its own sake.
Trudeau and GN are the same, and we are all much much worse off for it.
Gavin Newsom does have a joker vibe for sure, I almost made such a reference in the article, but had already criticized Marvel brain lol.
People definitely think Gavin Newsom is much smarter than he is but the thing about him not understanding complex narratives is really deep insight into him as a person, since humans are naturally storytellers and understand things from storytelling. You know Trump, for example, for all I know has never completed a novel in his life, but is a wonderful storyteller and a master of narrative.
Do many Canadians believe that JT is Fidel Castro's son? Or do they even care? The evidence seems highly suggestive that JT's bio dad was the Cuban revolutionary. JT always struck me as a homosexual white theater actor dude pretending to be straight because that's what his political advisors told him the public wanted to see. Sort of like the president of France.
Agree on the strong parallels between JT and Newsom. Anglosphere countries' white men of power. Sad.
If you're asking is JT the son of Castro, the answer is very likely yes. There was an excellent expose article that came out in Canada in Trudeaus early PM days that suspiciously went very quiet very quickly. His (supposed) father, Pierre, was a well known womanizer (and occultist) who married jays mother when she was 18, and he was about 55 (nothing odd there). The mother's visits to Cuba were well known. It's a very greasy, and wicked family.
Do Canadians care? No. Not at all. Canadians, much, much more than Americans, are some of the mostly highly propagandized people on planet earth.
This is spot on: "He is basically just an ambitious sociopath with a learning disability who managed to become immensely powerful due to his coping mechanisms combining with a variety of circumstances beyond his control." And I have covered this political narcissist for two decades.
Learned more about Newsom than had known before. To be honest I always found confusing his status as a white American straight dude running the most leftist, beautiful, wacky, wealthy state in the country as bizarre. Has always seemed to me that California should be governed by anyone *but* a straight white dude. But what do I know.
It sorta makes sense - attractive, athletic, charismatic dude ingratiates himself to the wealthy elite; gets them to help him into political office, he serves as their toady and at the same time relieves his own status anxiety. Symbiosis. Makes sense. This approach is only for the shameless sociopath.
Your article also highlights what a smoke and mirrors sham so much of American political public life is. Newsom says what he's supposed to say per current cultural dictates to advocate and encourage the destruction and degeneration of California society - but would he and his wife and 4 kids ever want to partake of said destructive degenerate life? No way. Countless of our two-faced duplicitous politicians are like this. We pay them to sham us in front of our face.
I'm a GenX guy (Newsom a few years older than me) - *all* of us knew dudes in school like Gavin - energetic, charistmatic, generally athletic but not athletic stars, who sadly seemed close to crashing and burning too many times.... but they somehow always pulled through. Honestly man you gotta respect the dude's grit and perseverance somewhat.
I pray that Gavin recenters himself somehow and finds his soul someday - and that he does this process far away from the White House.
Yeah you know he had the access of benefit to a wealthy social circle but has really done an incredible amount with his life.
Regarding his race, I think California has a chaotic primary system whereby a white guy can sneak in amidst endless squabbling minorities and then the general is not competitive
Redistricting to eliminate one party or the other invariably involves sprinkling the opponents over otherwise safe districts. You'd think the holders of these safe districts would push back since their path to re-election becomes harder and more expensive.
As to Newsom's politics, since he doesn't have any core beliefs or mission, he'll spend all his time trying to get to the front of the parade. That'll mean reading the nuance of public popularity and adopting the position that polls >51%. To that end he'll just be a machine reflecting whatever good or bad positions the majority of Americans hold. It's HL Mencken democracy at its best.
So maybe a 100% Dem apportionment across the state is actually representative. A delegation of all Adam Schiffs might make C-SPAN entertaining again. I think the non-partisan top-two process of electing representatives (I assume that's how Congressional elections are conducted) might advantage more centrist candidates as the rabidly partisan districts are diluted a bit.
I don't know how CA is but that is what WA is like and you would think it would result in some 3rd party candidates getting through or whatever but indeed in a ton of districts 2 people of the same party make it to the general and the more centrist one almost inevitably wins.
Also I can't remember if federal elections are like that in WA...the state legislature ones definitely are though
I have been watching newsome for many years , he has an ackward weird movement in his one hand , like he can't controll it , seems to be his left hand . He holds a mic with his other hand and the other hand just moves out of control , like TD ,from drugs maybe . It looks so bazarre . the way he uses his hands .
Suffering from ADHD myself, I skipped over the Alcibiades preface until reading some comments informed me of how relevant it is to Newsom. Consider me disquieted.
That was a fun read. It took me a while to get around to reading it, but I am glad I did. It also remined me how thoroughly exhausting the 2024 campaign was.
[by having a podcast between us, Alexis and I are only half pulling our weight.]
Slackers!! 😄
Great article, and the comparison to Alcibiades is great, if only because I would actually have loved to meet him in person, and might have considered voting for him if I was sufficiently pissed about something or other.
Lmao yeah I considered kind of doing a whole article making the comparison but figured he is really famous and there is plenty to say about Newsom on his own
I am so glad for you that you are optimistic enough to assume that Alcibiades is famous, out there in the wide internettins fields!! 🤣
One of the weird things about Newsom is that his family seems like a genuinely happy, functional one. Maybe one day one of the kids will write a memoir of how horrible it was, who knows, but that 's not what the pics seem to show today
Well, I was immune to Bill Clinton's purported charms and even less susceptible to Newsom's, though I did with great foolishness vote for Obama twice so I don't got so much to be proud of, really.
So I'm certainly left puzzling over your final paragraph since you seem to have nailed the guy quite well. Though I'll never understand man or woman calling him good-looking. I find him physically repulsive in addition to all the other ways he's skeezy.
But isn't it awful how it seems a requirement for all candidates for the Presidency to have been badly fucked up by their fathers and their mothers, each in their own special way (the parents I mean). Perhaps no normal healthy person chooses to go into politics.
Anyway I clicked over from Alex Berenson's piece and this was certainly useful reading.

that checks out. Sounds like they could have been using convicts to clean up junk instead of fight fires lol
That would be proactive tho. You gotta have disasters to create opportunity.

It depends how careful you are, California has plenty of 60+ dem districts

I kept the reference brief!
He's perfect, mad like the current and last mad fuckers.
