Moving to the right in preparation for a POTUS run. It never works and just plays right into the Ruling Party’s hands.
I would argue it does work for attaining the presidency. Because that’s what the oligarchs want to see
Whoopsie, just another accidental support of fascism. Surely this time he’ll apologize and not do it again, until his podcast needs more clicks.
I don’t like Newsom (and am not from the USA), but the context of this Tweet is very clearly a response to Trump and an attack on his behaviour (especially of late), re: insulting/mocking Rob Reiner’s death. His office/PR has regularly used Ronald Reagan’s quotes (as the former hero of the Republicans) to point out how completely embarrassing and perverse Trump’s presidency is to their former ‘ethics’ and values, and to ignore that context as tacit approval for Reagan is disingenuous.
This article (from a UK publisher) is really clutching at straws.
Having said all that, personally I think AOC or Bernie would be 100 times better candidates. Original Tweet below.
The DNC just buried its autopsy report from the 2024 election. Who knows what it said. But maybe Democrats ought to simply stop uplifting Republicans every chance they get. Fuck the outreach. Use other examples. I don’t like this guy at all anymore. He’s a snake.
Definitely a snake
Lol describing the presidency under Reagan as “a reminder of our common humanity” is 1000% praising and whitewashing Reagan, there is nothing “disingenuous” about it whatsoever.
Reagan was a devil in humans clothing. Saying he was humanity at all is spitting on the grave of people who died because of his actions.
This is barely a fucking article about anything. Don’t fall for this dumb social media garbage bullshit.
But it angers the kids, so it’s gospel around here. They’ll be pasting this article in every argument they can manufacture for a least a week or two.
Oops! The mask slipped off!!
Newsom is a neoliberal his policies are literally based on Ronald Reagan’s legacy of screwing the working class
It really sucks the way they treated AIDS initially. I still know elders who believe it is a divine punishment for gays. So many people died needlessly because of this.
This doesn’t even scratch the surface of the American genocide known as the war on drugs though. Millions of lives lost and tens of millions of families destroyed. All completely preventable.
They knew all along the right thing to do, but they had to go after the poor and minorities. It was one of the most disgusting representation of oppression and classism in modern times.
Liberals gonna Lib.
Owner class pulling the strings… per usual.
Yet again, lemmy refuses to even try and acknowledge the point of the statement and instead manufactures typical outrage over nothing, and judging by the comments- clearly no one even read the article.
This absolute shit-tier example of garbage journalism states he “praised” Regan, where all he did was quote him. And the quote is entirely irrelevant to the outrage bullshit that the article claims.
By the way- this is exactly the type of shit that MAGA knows will piss you all off enough to not vote for him. So, be prepared to see a lot more of this shared here.
Trump couldn’t pay enough for this kind of help.
As someone who has lived in California for decades, fuck Newsom and anyone that supports him. He has always been rightist neoliberal scum. If he runs for anything he needs to be ruthlessly crushed in primary long before we reach another two-party false-binary “lesser evil” compromise yet again.
LMAO…. Okay, enjoy more MAGA.
Fascist praises fascist, go figure.
Taking one for the gipper, eh?
Oh
Anything to take him down, he’s becoming too popular. He didn’t fuck any kids on a pedophile island though, so if my choices are pedophiles or a guy who once supported Reagan, I gotta go with the recovering Reagan supporter.
I still don’t understand why people idolized Reagen. The guy was not good
Especially since when he was governor, he ordered the army into Berkeley to corral the protesting Boomers, but then when those same Boomers got older and richer, they didn’t want to pay taxes so they embraced him. These same “enlightened educated hippies” have descendants who now make up the tech bros controlling the country and embracing fascism.
In his last years, he was as demented as Trump, and he killed millions with purposeful inaction on AIDS, much like Trump with COVID.
Don’t forget Nancy… she was a real gem, too.
I would argue, he was bad, even.
