There’s a difference between thinking he’s “one of the good guys” and getting glad he’s one of the few people in power standing up to trump, or at least threatening to.
People like him certainly should be held accountable for their bullshit. But bringing it up everytime someone is greatful he’s standing up to fascists only helps the fascists.
He’s not “standing up to Trump” for the people, but to assert his exclusive control of the territory. Which is why he is not speaking against militarized assaults on protests, which Newsom also enjoys, but rather against Trump encroaching on the governor’s fiefdom.
In a fight between fascists, you are not required to take either side. Stop reflexively licking the boot.
