In reversal, Gavin Newsom proposes cutting back on health care benefits for undocumented immigrants
I guess Kamala Harris’s former campaign advisors found new employment.
Bro needs to read the damn room.
He did. The room is full of, bought by, and paid for, by MAGA.
He's in a different room than we are.
His audience is DNC leadersip.
California doesn't really like brown people. Source: White Californian who is around discussions about brown people from liberals and conservatives.
It's not just California. People are ignorant all over.
Richest state in the richest country in the world and Californians are still convinced their problems are poor and brown people and not the people actually holding all the fucking wealth?
Not surprising. Still Americans.
Reminder that Newsom is to the right of the state Congress, the House and Senate passed a RCV bill but Newsom vetoed it.
Heard somebody else describe it as he might be getting ready to run as a candidate for the next presidential election.
I could see him as trying to appeal to red states by trashing on immigrants. its been proven to be effective with the current administration and I can most definitely see him using that momentum to get his shoe in with some voters.
Pretty clearly trying to reposition himself closer to the center for a 2028 presidential run. Good luck with that.
He’ll have to pivot to the “middle” again once 2028 arrives
"I'll only 'slow walk' us into fascism" isn't the flex he thinks it is.
Time for Jello Biafra to write a new updated California Uber Alles
Someone better check on this guy, he seems to have had the same type of stroke that Fetterman had.
Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds.
... Has anybody rewritten California Uber Alles for this piece of shit, and covered it?
California depends on federal money and I bet the orange 🍊 man in the white house behind the scenes is pushing Newsom to be tough on immigrants or risk losing federal grants for California.
Some time ago, I read an analysis on why left-wing parties were allegedly more successful in Scandinavia than other parts of Europe. It claimed that, for all their pro-social domestic policy, they weren't as immigrant-friendly as many other left-wing parties. Supposedly, that approach helped undermined the narrative that "I have nothing, yet these immigrants come here to get stuff for free at my expense." By putting their own country's needs first, they won over voters that worried they were being screwed over.
I have no way to verify how accurate that analysis was, nor do I have any sense of how dated it might be, so I'll be sceptical, but the idea stuck with me. I can't really blame people for putting their own needs first, and I wonder how much that influences the popularity of right-wing parties all around.
Of course, health care should be a universal good anyway and the US system definitely needs fixing, but I can understand how the "freeloader immigrant" propaganda would work on people suffering from that system – misery breeds bigotry and all.
checks notes That should go over well with voters
Presumably his advisors determined that he needed to Overton more and faster if he wanted to ensure that he'd be the neolib weasel the DNC shoves down our throats in 2028.
People really still out here believing in the 2028 election 😂
Well to be fair it would be easier for them if they takeover the dnc (they being maga) and give us the illusion of elections.
