  • has a podcast where he fawns over conservative guests like Steve Bannon and Charlie Kirk
  • borrowing talking points from Jordan Peterson about "bro culture" and a "crisis of masculinity"
  • wants to "solve" California's housing crisis by jailing unhoused people
  • thinks "social issues" like transgender rights and due process for immigrants are distractions from the real issues (like tariffs)

Newsom has generally been pivoting conservative over the last few years, most commenters think in preparation for a 2028 presidential run, and has turned it up since Trump was elected.

Wow. Last time I paid attention to him he was leading the push for gay marriage in California before SCOTUS legalized it. Then I remember him running for governor and I stopped hearing about him since I didn't live in Cali
