California governor says US must ‘wake up’ to threat posed by the president’s disregard of democratic norms

In an interview hosted by Politico, the California governor said the US must ‘wake up’ to the the threat posed by the president’s disregard of democratic norms

Donald Trump is gravely serious about running for a third term in violation of the US constitution, California governor Gavin Newsom said on Wednesday, warning Americans to “wake up” to what he described as the president’s flagrant disregard for democratic norms.

“I don’t think Donald Trump wants another election,” Newsom, a Democrat, said during a live interview at a summit hosted by Politico in Sacramento. “This guy doesn’t believe in free, fair elections.”

Newsom, who has gained national attention in recent weeks for his merciless trolling of Trump online and who is widely considered a presidential contender, said he had a stack of two dozen “Trump 2028” hats sent to him by the president’s supporters.

      that’s the only way I can start shit personally, I can’t explain it, but I know that’s the only chance I’d have

      What roleplay anime scenario are you picturing anyway? We can still turn things around if we have more social and community involvement than boasting on the internet, there are still countless progressive organizations starting grassroots campaigns to get progressives and socialists replacing the conservative figures in all of our states and counties who are propping up the fascist federal forces.

      Do you need someone to google THAT for you as well?

      edit: https://www.progressivevictory.win/ here’s one, they need help. Ya’ll need something to do besides video games and hentai.
