Gavin Newsom Really Doesn't Want to Be President
Top O' the Briefing
Happy Wednesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. We will reconvene at sunset to distribute soft serve cones and extra Tiger Balm to the Pilates-inflicted.
Because he sits near or at the top of most of the very early polls for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination, I think it's important to take occasional digs at California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
OK, I'd enjoy doing it even if he weren't running for president.
I'm still not sold on Newsom going over well enough with Democrats all across America to become the nominee. Yes, he has great name recognition now, but Democrats in Flyover, USA don't have to live under his insanity. They also probably don't spend a lot of time reading up on various Newsom-inspired policies in the Golden State.
I left California after 25 years, a little less than a year before Newsom became governor. Its psychotic leftward lurch had already begun, but Newsom arrived in Sacramento with a bulldozer to facilitate pushing the state off the progressive cliff even faster.
Gavin Newsom's California bears almost no resemblance to the California I left eight years ago. I'm not just talking about politics either. Pacific Palisades was still standing in 2018, for one thing. This list could go on for a while. So much goes wrong in blue states because the politicians in charge neglect the important things while they're focusing on their idiotic leftist plans.
California has suffered so much under Newsom's rule because no politician in America embraced the opportunity to become a tyrant during the pandemic like he did. Once he got a taste for it, he never let up. The supermajority Democrats in Sacramento are merely puppets who do his bidding.
That just leads to the kind of ridiculousness that Matt wrote about yesterday:
Big Brother has a name, it's Gavin Newsom, and he's coming to inspect the trash of California residents.
Starting this month, Sacramento is sending city workers out to peer into residents' garbage, recycling, and organic waste bins, all in the name of complying with a mandate from Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.). The California legislature passed the law behind this intrusion, SB 1383, in 2016, and it took effect in 2022. The stated goal was to cut organic waste disposal by 75% by 2025 to reduce methane emissions and slow climate change.
Is it working? Well, that’s the question, isn’t it? That’s why Sacramento apparently decided the best way to find out is to start rifling through what people throw away.
Not creepy at all, right?
The article that Matt links to says that this is all to ensure that people "comply with Newsom's vision." It's Newsom's vision that has been the catalyst for the mass exodus from California. The state has seen the largest population decline of any U.S. state since — no surprise here — 2020.
Everything that Newsom pats himself on the back for is the kind of thing that I truly believe ends up being a disqualifying knock on him with Ma and Pa Dem in the Midwest. He doesn't know that because California is the biggest ideological bubble in the nation. He really thinks he's killing it there. His delusion is reinforced by hangers-on who are equally divorced from reality. As I wrote back in March, the California that Newsom keeps talking about doesn't really exist anymore.
What I meant in the headline is that almost everything Newsom does is something that could potentially doom his 2028 bid. He doesn't know that, of course. Now that the Young Commies are rising on the left, Newsom will almost certainly do whatever he can to out-commie them.
That should make for some fun stories to tell at the Iowa State Fair come caucus time in 2028.
