Is this because he went on Cumb Towne?
Some prominent gay rights groups that have criticized online behavior as homophobic in the past have stayed silent, perhaps because they view Mr. Newsom as an ally.
Liberals hard at work defusing the radicalism of the left
A few Republicans and allies of Mr. Trump have denounced the posts as homophobic. “It’s so odd to see the former mayor of the most gay-friendly city in America, San Francisco, use homosexuality as a slur,” Harmeet K. Dhillon, a strident Trump supporter who is U.S. assistant attorney general for civil rights, wrote on social media last week. “Weird!”
Liberals getting outflanked by fucking fascists
From this we can conclude that all is well under the liberal heaven. They be eating shit like they always do.
It’s all just getting a bit gauche
🥰
Pandering transphobe is also a pandering homophobe? Who couldve seen this coming?
These mfs really think being too politically correct is why they lost in 24. Zero chance he apologizes because he’ll think it makes him look weak
He’s going to eat shit in the debates when someone figures out the unstoppable counter to this - “no, u”. And he’s going to
I get so mad when these fucking freaks and serial incompetents put on this performance in response to people saying that the democrats need to “get tough” with the republicans. You fucking know They want you to LOCK THEM UP you fucking cowards.
They are just simply more comfortable throwing queer people under the bus than persecuting their ostensible political enemies. There is already a preponderance of evidence for this. Look how they couldn’t stop falling all over themselves to blame trans people for the loss in 2024. This shit is, was, and will always be, absolutely sickening LOSER SHIT.
Throw it on the pile of evidence that the Dems will never improve anything ever again. I am so sick of hearing ostensibly smart people talk about how “yes they’re both bad, but atleast the Dems are competent!” How? In what sense? Certainly not when it comes to winning elections! Governing? I guess in some edge cases but at the national level the evidence seems sparse to me.
Asking democrats to “get tough” apparently just instills a patriarchal-revanchist fervor within them.
if you read this, you are gay Imao
well duh it’s literally my name
Two men in the same room. Seems pretty sus
Getting mixed signals on fools day
if you read this, you are gay lmao
Heh. You’re half right!
Many are impressed by Newsom’s razor sharp wit while a select few call his rhetoric ‘homophobic’
Newsom: “you’re gay and gay is bad lmao”
his desperation is really building quickly now… and he’s got so much longer to go. by 2028 he’ll be tossing people into concentration camp for not goose-stepping and nazi saluting
When the conservative commentator Benny Johnson posted a clip on X last week in which he discussed allegations of fraud in California, Mr. Newsom’s press office responded by suggesting that Mr. Johnson’s team uses the popular gay dating app Grindr. “We got a call from Grindr after this and said your team was their biggest users,” it posted on X.
And earlier this year, when Mr. Newsom, a Democrat, got into a long and involved skirmish with Scott Bessent, the first openly gay Treasury secretary, at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, his press office posted: “Scott Bessent flew across the ocean to star in The Real Housewives of Davos — and can’t stop talking about how ‘hot’ he thinks @CAGovernor ‘Davos’ Daddy’ Newsom is.”
You must be joking
This is…SUCH liberal loser energy. These posts read like they were written by committee, for fuck’s sake; it’s literally just the “turning a big dial taht says “Homophobia” on it and constantly looking back at the audience for approval like a contestant on the price is right” bit
Eww “Davos daddy”? EWWW WTF
peak democratcore that appeals to no one except like one focus group of small business owner 55 year olds that don’t really get it but think it will appeal to their adult kids. i can see a certain demographic of antiwoke left wing guys getting behind him if he called Peter Thiel a Removed, but just “gay” is meaningless middle of the road drifting that alienates both sides.
Little Donny Gay Boy! Do you like musical theater, bro? I heard you singing Cats! - Newsome
Wicked is better
dems have moved on from “we gotta get more racist” to “we gotta get more racist and homophobic”. progress yet lives
Most progressive candidate since FDR
Yep. This is not surprising either. ‘Centrist’ Democrats used to be super homophobic back in the 1990s and even into the early 2000s.
Democrats after meeting the people “where they’re at” and Fox News and the internet still tells everyone dems are reverse racist heterophobes.
Cracking up at the quotes from the aides here, trying to make it sound like their homophobic shitposts are actually high-minded commentary or some shit.
Has this ever worked before? Like who the fuck is the target audience, I’m morbidly curious.
liberals think epic dunks are the highest form of political activism. that’s why they’re obsessed with freeze peach (unless they have to talk to someone more knowledgeable than them)
Libs are no different than chuds at the end of the day. Both think points can be made by a witty roast at the opponent’s expense.
