Right wing conspiracy theories always described what they really wanted and then attributed it to their enemies, because it used to not be socially acceptable to be in favor of ethnic cleansing and eliminating the age of consent.

I have this excellent sturdy cardboard canister with a tin lid from buying underwear from a german box store. It has a non-removable label that I'd rather not look at all the time, so I guess I have an art project?

He's not a collaborator, true, but he's a fucking problem when it comes to our Trans brothers and sisters. He also tries to both sides every fucking issue. Gov Good Hair may have a role in the next admin but it won't be POTUS.
Your approach is exactly how we got Trump 2.0
The quest for perfection. We are humans. We are all imperfect. Newsome is not a collaborator anymore than you are. He has tried many ways to communicate & some were ill advised, but they were never collaborative. You & me will have to agree to disagree.
