AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>If you've been reading my analysis for a while, you probably don't need to be told that I do not like California Governor Gavin Newsom very much. Despite representing essentially a one party state, Newsom, a Democrat (I guess) has consistently worked to normalize fascist ideology, and adopt reactionary NIMBY-infused authoritarian policy in a state, California, where there is almost no political pressure to do so whatsoever. At the end of the day, Gavin is a fascist collaborator who doesn't give a fuck if poor people live or die so long as his corporate donors are happy, and that is significantly worse than merely being a transactional neoliberal who loves PAC money; which is how Newsom's defenders typically portray him in political discourse. From inviting nazi propagandists like Charlie Kirk on his podcast to spread transphobic propaganda, to turning his back on police reform in California to protect violent murderpigs who violate civil rights in his home state, Newsome has been openly willing to help fascists, do fascism, if he thinks it's politically advantageous for his career. Now, with his term as Governor running out, Newsom has set his eyes on the 2028 US presidential nomination, and I've gone on record in saying that such an outcome would be an absolute disaster for folks who don't like fascism; because win or lose, the result of a Newsom nomination would ultimately be "more fascism."</p><p>Naturally, that position will sound quite hyperbolic to many rank and file Democrats who "vote blue no matter who" but I'd argue that all the evidence you need to see Newsom's fascist intentions can be found in studying his policies towards unhoused people in California. After all, Newsom vigorously supported our 6-3 fascist high Supreme Court's nightmarish "City of Grants Pass, Oregon v. Johnson" ruling which effectively criminalizes being unhoused, and spent the lead up to the 2024 US election threatening California municipalities with being defunded unless they participated in fascist, anti-humanitarian "homeless sweeps" that destroy lives and address precisely zero aspects of the affordable housing crisis in California; does weaponizing municipal funding to force local governments to adopt fascist policing policies that harm their constitutions sound familiar to you? It should, it's a big part of how Donald Trump himself is currently trying to force Democrat-led cities to cooperate with his illegal mass deportation agenda. As I wrote way back in August, don't cry at me about "hyperbolic language" because fascist is as fascist does, and Gavin Newsom loves doing fascism to target unhoused people.</p><p>Furthermore, nothing about Newsom's preference for cruel, ineffective, and authoritarian solutions to the housing crisis has changed since the election of Dowmarket Mussolini; as this Truthout article indicates, Newsome is now trying to bribe municipalities with money originally earmarked for social and mental health assistance for the unhoused community, to conduct fascist "homeless encampment sweeps" that will help precisely nobody, and make the lives of one of the most vulnerable constituencies in California, the unhoused, immeasurably worse.</p><p><a href="https://truthout.org/articles/newsoms-model-ordinance-pushes-homeless-sweeps-across-california/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">truthout.org/articles/newsoms-</span><span class="invisible">model-ordinance-pushes-homeless-sweeps-across-california/</span></a></p><p>Newsom’s Model Ordinance Pushes Homeless Sweeps Across California</p><p>"California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) is urging cities and counties to adopt a newly released model ordinance aimed at banning and clearing homeless encampments.</p><p>The proposal would prohibit unhoused people from repeatedly camping in the same location, restrict encampments that block pedestrian access on sidewalks, and require authorities to provide notice and make a good-faith effort to offer shelter before destroying camps. According to the governor’s office, the model ordinance builds on an approach already used by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), which has destroyed more than 16,000 encampments since 2021.</p><p>Framing the move as an act of “compassion and care,” Newsom’s administration announced that $3.3 billion in voter-approved Proposition 1 funds — originally intended to expand behavioral health housing and treatment — would be made available statewide to incentivize cities and counties to adopt the ordinance."</p><p>Folks, I don't know how to say this any clearer but Gavin Newsom doesn't think unhoused people are human beings, and is willing to adopt cruel, fascist policies targeting unhoused people to make them "go away." Where? That's unclear; after all and as the article makes clear, Newsom is only making the barest of pretenses at solving the actual root of the crisis, a lack of affordable housing in the state; this isn't about finding a place for unhoused people to "go." If this is how Newsom is prepared to treat some of the most vulnerable people he was elected to help, who else might he be willing to sacrifice on the altar of the business lobby and "cleaning up our streets?"</p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPolitics</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/HousingCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HousingCrisis</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/California" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>California</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/GavinNewsom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GavinNewsom</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/2028Election" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>2028Election</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Unhoused" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Unhoused</span></a></p>
