      This is exactly the kind of thing I’d expect from Newsom. Remember his podcast interviews with Bannon and Kirk? It was obviously a failed political wiggle to the right when he thought that was the way the winds were blowing, but fate has brought this new opportunity to his doorstep.

      His motives should be seen as nothing more than political ambition. Now that he’s found a worthy opponent in Trump, he’s seeking to scramble to the top of the oppositional hill, the Democrats. That’s where his ambitions end, just another unsuited Democrat for the current climate who wants to return things to the status quo. He’ll be another Biden but this time with an undeniable scrap of charisma.

        Newsom’s not even the Han Solo he’s trying to imply he is here, it’s obvious he’s Lando Calrissian. He’s not your friend, and he’s not going to help you. He’s going to help himself, and that might briefly help you, but don’t count on it. We’ve gotta be our own heroes in this story.

      I think I would respect it a lot more if he hired people to make the video. Even if he hired amateurs. He could always say he’s supporting American people. Using AI to make it? Cringe.
