Expecting Trump to declare cannabis to be a schedule I drug, cancel the plans to reschedule it, and begin federal raids on legal dispensaries within California to harm their economy.
Bonus points if he collects state purchasing records (nationwide) to selectively threaten/silence people based on their social media history.

I’m glad that newsom is paying attention. Someone has to.
Ooh trumplethinskin is gonna send in the military now!
replies:
California may redraw its maps* Gavin can't actually do this unilaterally unlike in Texas and this will be put to a referendum on the November ballot.
The ballot measure won't be a sure thing even though California is very democratic, 38% voted for trump in the last election. It'll be a very off year election as well so turnout will probably very low and only those who are motivated. So the question is whose more motivated, the anti-trump resistance who want to stop him at any cost, or the conservatives in the state who are effectively having there representation taken away.
Maybe one good outcome of this is the conservatives will feel so unwelcome they'll actually follow through and fuck off to Texas and help ease the housing crisis.
I bet this will never happen
replies:
Okay, but Gavin calling himself handsome, even to mock Trump, makes me a bit ill.
Edit: I'm guessing the downvoters are not from California and have not been witness to Gavin's photo shoots to promote things like clearing/busting encampments of unsheltered people while trying to look like he's in a Gucci ad, 'Blue Steel' and all. He's a disingenuous hack who is making as many bad moves as good ones lately, because he is trying to play to both sides for his 2028 presidential run.

This is how we needed to be dealing with Trump.
Maybe they will realize how insane Trump is when they see other people behaving the same way.

Lmao, noice Gavin Newsom
About damned time. Hopefully the party follows his lead.
Wait is 9 seats enough to flip it?
That's pretty sad.
replies:
I'm willing to bet $100 that something stops him from doing it, they give up, and blame Republicans for it as they watch Democracy end.
Downvote me all you want, but history shows this is what happens.

As much as I like Newsom’s politics a lot of the time, I dont think stooping to the level of writing deranged all caps tweets mimicking Trump is a great plan. Although at this point what even is a great plan? At least theyre doing something I guess
