Opinion | Gavin Newsom and the Democrats’ Delusional Recovery
 
The first step to any recovery is admitting you have a problem. Some Democrats are starting to do that, but they still won’t admit that their policies are the cause. Take California Gov. Gavin Newsom, whose cure for a hangover is a Tequila sunrise. On his “Politickin’ ” podcast, he blamed Democrats’ election drubbing on the “five I’s”: inflation, immigration, interest rates, incumbency and Israel’s war in Gaza.
 
Voters were “p—” about these things, but Democrats didn’t realize it because they lived and campaigned in a “bubble,” Mr. Newsom observed. “And so you don’t really have a sense of what’s real and what’s not. The crowds are organized. The crowds are enthusiastic, but it’s a bunch of Democrats.” California’s coast epitomizes this bubble.

Such affluent areas voted for Kamala Harris, but Donald Trump won almost all the state’s inland counties, which are composed mostly of working-class and Hispanic voters. These folks have been especially squeezed by high energy prices caused by the state’s climate policies, which have also killed manufacturing and energy jobs.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

He doesn't mean it.  He just trying to get himself branded as a reasonable moderate.  And the MSM will be only too happy to accommodate him. ****sheep****

Governor Greaseball is doing the centrist pivot.

Most Dems believe they lost because the American voters are deplorable Nazi floating islands of garbage.

My very existence is an afront to their grand designs.  To the Dems, I am a pest that needs to be marginalized, dismissed, or eliminated.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

All they are doing is trying to find a different angle to sell themselves to the people. It's all about staying in power, and once they are in power they will do only what they have to to keep it.
They have their agenda, and putting a shiny smiley face on it hasn't worked in the face of blatant hypocrisy and a devil take the hindmost attitude toward constituents.

I have little doubt that the marketing geeks will use every tool they have to sell them to the people, including lying and censoring any opposition at every turn. It's how they roll.
Just because Newsom has been successful at this crap, dos not mean he should get a chance to put it to more people, harder. 

Shut this guy down, California.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
