“California has some of the strongest pro LGBTQ+ laws in the nation and with the bills signed today, our march toward equality takes an additional step forward,” (California governor) Newsom said Saturday.

Gavin Newsom also signed a bill that would help track LGBTQ+ healthcare, which begs the question - how will California track COVID statistics accurately if transgenders are included as if they were born the sex they ID as? COVID disproportionately affects males, so is CA going to skew the world's COVID stats for transgenders' feelz?

And what about gender fluids and non-binarie? What's the point in keeping health statistics, or any kind of statistics if people can identify into and out of biological sex?

Back when Bush the II was running for re-election and Gavin Newsom was mayor of San Francisco, Newsom decided to make gay marriage legal. Footage of joyous same-sex marriages in San Francisco flooded the airwaves. Well, that would have been great(!!!) except the US apparently was not ready for it, not even California (Prop 8 was proposed a few years later) and I have always thought that Newsom helped swing the election to Bush II.

Now, in the most crucial election of my lifetime, Gavin Newsom does it again - men in women's prisons - conservatives are Tweeting and people across the political spectrum are aghast.

Thanks, Gavin Newsom, thanks for getting a crazy Republican asshole re-elected president, AGAIN.

Prop 8 - California passed a bill to ban gay marriage a few years after Newsom legalized it in San Francisco https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_California_Proposition_8

To be fair, Biden is a lot worse even from a "social justice" viewpoint. He authored the 1994 crime bill that locked away millions of people for drug offenses, a large percentage being minorities due to the wording of the bill. He supported segregation as well and only backed off on it when it became politically inconvenient. Let's not forget that Kamala threw the book at non violent drug offenders including Cannabis users while laughing about how she smoked weed in college, to which her own father said "stop lying."

Trump is a hard pill to swallow on a personal level and I don't really like his third justice pick but he's not trying to divide the country on race, sex, and religion like the left currently is.

I find it very ironic that so many people here still lean as hard left as they do given the current circumstances.

I hate the Democrats, but I have had the opportunity to travel overseas fairly widely, and part of my job was to pay attention to both US and global events, so I have seen how countries can go from stability to dictatorships seemingly overnight.

I have never been more frightened of any US president or any US party than I am of Donald Trump and the current Republicans. Trump and his goons are actively encouraging a Civil War in order for him to stay in power - no US president has done that as far as I recall.

And a second Trump term won't just be the loss of clean water/ clean air/ food safety standards - because that's already happening.

A second Trump term will result in the absolute corruption that I have seen in other countries, the stifling of dissent by violent means, hatred and strife between ethnic groups and religions, the triumph of the 0.01% over the 99.9%.

We will be a country destroyed if Trump wins again (or seizes power), and I don't think there will ever be hope of America as we knew it somehow making it back to "beautiful."

"the stifling of dissent by violent means, hatred and strife between ethnic groups and religions"

It's the left that's doing that. They're the ones attacking/killing/refusing to serve Trump supporters, destroying businesses and implementing policies that are destroying cities (along with women's rights).
