Not really a secret: Conservatives are proping up Newsom so when he makes it through the primary, a wet roll of toilet paper could win against him based on "Don't California America!"
It can backfire. Democrats did it to talkshow-Trump, thinking he'd be easy to crush in the general against stateswoman-Hillary.
- mindslight 1y agoCan we please stop casually referring to the neofascist movement as "conservatives" ? That label stopped being appropriate with Trump, when the reactionary dumpster fire escaped talk radio and grew into a revanchist destructive movement that consumed the whole party. The label "conservative" is more appropriate for the Democratic party these days - for example why their opposition mostly consists of strongly worded letters, or why they keep sandbagging any of their members who proposes significant action or reform. They're still acting from a place of fundamental belief in our societal institutions, even as those institutions are being torn down.
