Gov. Newsom and CA Democrats are Turning the California Republic into a Tyrannical California Autocracy
Gavin Newsom has turned the Golden State into a golden toilet
By Katy Grimes and Richie Greenberg, August 19, 2025 2:55 am
Newsom has turned the Golden State into a golden toilet, in just over 6 years as governor. He should focus on finishing out his term serving the best interests of the state, the people and business.
In California, Governor Gavin Newsom and the state’s Democrats are clearly trying to turn the California Republic to the California Autocracy. We are nearly there with this radical Supermajority Legislature. The very policies they support are tyrannical and autocratic – many of their bills are filthy, foul and heinous, with lawmakers making their disdain for the people evident.
Remember when elected lawmakers made laws and wrote policy that people needed? We haven’t seen laws of substance since Pete Wilson was governor.
Palisades
Following the devastating January fires, far too many residents of Pacific Palisades have been prevented from rebuilding their homes by Gov. Newsom, Mayor Karen Bass, and the twisted bureaucracies participating in the scheme. Consequently, the people of Pacific Palisades are discussing “mass tort litigation against multiple public entities with coordinated legal strategies against LADWP (Los Angeles Department of Water and Power) – Primary defendant for both power and water infrastructure failures, and the City of Los Angeles – As LADWP’s parent entity and for municipal responsibilities, and possibly four more Potential Additional Defendants:
State of California – For dangerous condition of public property claims
Los Angeles County – For regional fire response and infrastructure
Sanitation Districts – For related infrastructure failures
Southern California Gas Company – For gas lines remaining open during the fire.”
Yet Gov. Newsom isn’t working to help the people burned out of their homes – he’s instead focused on fighting President Donald Trump.
Trump Successes
This is one of a string of examples of extreme reactions to Trump successes. Newsom, together with California State Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) and NYC Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani all have become highly vocal critics of Trump, as they each seek potential higher office in the near future.
“This fascist cuck in DC continues his assault on democracy and the Constitution, and his attempt to replace the sovereignty of the people with autocracy,” the California governor’s office posted on social media. “Sorry the Constitution hurt your feelings, Stephen. Cry harder,” the Los Angeles Times highlighted.
Gov. Newsom was referring to Stephen Miller, White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Advisor. Stephen Miller says Gov. Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass are guilty of “Crimes against humanity” for preventing ICE agents access to criminal illegal aliens, and allowing criminal illegal aliens to live in sanctuary cities in a sanctuary state, raping, pillaging, murdering, and committing heinous crimes against Californians.
Miller said the Governor and Mayor of Los Angeles run the largest sanctuary city and sanctuary state, and refuse to turn over thousands of serial criminal illegal aliens to ICE so they get arrested by state and federal police, and deported. They then go on to commit assault, armed robbery, home invasions, and murder – “the most unimaginable crimes you can think of. All of that blood, all of that suffering, all of that heartache, squarely on the soul of California’s governor and the mayor of Los Angeles. they are guilty of ‘Crimes against humanity.’ They’re facilitating child trafficking, sex trafficking. They think this is a game, this is a joke. This is life and death.”
He’s right. And for that he’s called a “fascist cuck.”
Newsom’s media staff post most of his social media posts, including this one:
The wrong side of the law
Newsom and Democrats in California are lashing out on issues they will ultimately lose on because they are on the wrong side of the law: criminal illegal aliens, politicians redistricting, emptying out the state prisons, dangerous crime, sanctuary cities and sanctuary state, abortion sanctuary state, High Speed Rail, killing off the oil and gas industry, cutting water to agriculture, energy shortages,
“While Governor Gavin Newsom is closing one prison after another in California, criminal activity has not abated in our state for a myriad of reasons,” Andy Caldwell wrote in the Globe last week. “In the City of Santa Barbara, at their recent annual Old Spanish Days Fiesta celebration, one person was murdered while two others were wounded.”
Caldwell says that “in addition to offering extremely cheap bail, Santa Barbara County Supervisors have also pushed for a policy that allows people who are accused of serious crimes to walk freely after having been arraigned as it is their policy to not detain people in custody while awaiting trial. In other words, they would rather give people with long records a break rather than err on the side of public safety!”
The latest example is the semi-truck driver who allegedly killed three people while making a U-turn at an “Official Use Only” turn on the Florida Turnpike – he is an illegal immigrant who was granted a commercial driver’s license by the State of California.
Pair this obvious destruction of the once-golden state with this – in addition to 4 million Californians leaving California since the beginning of the century, businesses and even industries are building and expanding in other states:
“Look out, Hollywood—Fort Worth is getting into the film and television production business, big time.
In collaboration with Paramount Television, SGS Studios—founded by Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan, producer David Glasser, and Dan Schryer—has teamed up with Ross Perot Jr.’s Hillwood to build a 450,000-square-foot production campus. The two-building project is within AllianceTexas, Hillwood’s 27,000-acre development in North Fort Worth.
The two-building project—now the largest operating studio in Texas—is designed to handle four large-scale productions at one time and has already attracted a full slate of Paramount and 101 Studios projects.”
Sheridan says Texas offers something rare, and adds—“the space to dream big, the freedom to build fast, and a community that still believes storytelling matters.”
His “Season two of Landman created nearly 4,000 jobs—1,092 for crew, 192 for cast, and 2,572 extras. Glasser says SGS plans to create more than 15,000 jobs in total this year.”
California Demographer even said “California’s out-migration has come to resemble the pattern long associated with Rust Belt states.”
Redistricting
California Governor Gavin Newsom seeks political retribution against President Trump and Texas Governor Greg Abbott by eliminating five out of nine Republican districts to “save democracy.”
California voters approved in November 2010 Proposition 20 which empowers a bi-partisan independent panel for redistricting correlating to the every-ten-year US Census. Its is a constitutional amendment which shall conduct an open and transparent process enabling full public consideration of and comment on the drawing of district lines.
Governor Gavin Newsom’s proposal for a special election in November 2025 to redraw California’s congressional districts has quickly ignited fierce opposition from conservative leaders, reform advocates, and nonpartisan groups. His plan, which bypasses the state’s independent Citizens Redistricting Commission, is viewed as a partisan maneuver to secure Democratic control of competitive congressional seats. It violates constitutional mandates and undermines voter-approved reforms.
Once the district maps were leaked Friday, Will O’Neill, Chairman of the Orange County Republican Party; Former Newport Beach Mayor said:
Oh this is such garbage. The slicing and dicing of Orange County cities is obscene. Newport Beach split into two districts, with the top half packed in with … Long Beach? Fountain Valley now with Norwalk? In a district that looks like a hieroglyph? Mission Viejo appears to be split into three congressional districts? Much more analysis to come, but this is third-world dictator stuff.
CA State Assemblyman Carl DeMaio is filing a citizens’ initiative Monday to impose what he openly describes as a “poison pill” ban on any state legislator from seeking any elected office for the next 10 years if they vote this week in favor of nullifying the independent citizens redistricting commission or its existing non-partisan election maps.
“The state constitution already bans Independent Citizens’ Redistricting Commissioners from seeking elected office for 10 years – so if the politicians want to illegally seize back redistricting power from the citizens, it is only fitting that the ban against benefitting personally from those maps be imposed on them,” DeMaio said.
After the Democrats’ press conference Monday on their redistricting scheme, Assemblyman Carl DeMaio said, “What’s happening in this building is pure corruption. It is illegal, it is unfair. We now have evidence that three sitting legislators have traded their vote for a seat in Congress with this corrupt deal. This is vote rigging happening inside our legislature. It’s absolutely corrupt to the core.”
This action by Newsom is yet another example of his reckless disregard of the will of voters. Just last November, California’s passed a law which modifies the notorious Proposition 47, the measure which wreaked havoc in California cities by all but decriminalizing theft under $950. Newsom opposed the Proposition, but voters passed it anyway in every county, and in great numbers, and Gov. Newsom refused to fund the programs in cities to increase law enforcement.
Newsom disrespects Democracy. He chooses what laws he likes and follows, and ignores others. That is not a Democracy. This is an attack on voter-approved process.
Newsom’s claim his plan would “end Trump’s presidency.” Intelligent people know that is entirely untrue as it’s not a vote to remove Trump early. But low-information voters may fall for this malicious propaganda.
Newsom is playing a high-stakes game for national attention when he is clearly setting up for a presidential run. He’s not the frontrunner and such power plays and gimmicks get voter’s attention.
He’s doing his best to differentiate himself for Kamala Harris who was a disaster of a candidate mere months ago. Newsom is fighting, and loudly.
Politico poll results found that voters want to keep the independent redistricting commission and not allow the California Legislature to redistrict: 62% Gen Z, through 77% of seniors. Also in the poll study: 72% of Democrats, 66% of Republicans and 61% of independents said they want to keep the commission. Newsom’s got a tough battle.
Newsom knows he’s breaking the law, but he has a long history of doing that when he doesn’t like the law. Now it’s become painfully obvious to voters across the country just how destructive and malicious pompous Newsom and California Democrats are.

Ugghh. This is ugly politics at its worst. The stakes are high. If Newsom’s power grab loses he is done, as he has put his credibility on the line to “get Trump.” Meanwhile, the actual President is on the brink of world peace with a ceasefire looming in the Middle East, and a cessation of fighting in Ukraine. President Trump’s opponents appear as barking chihuahuas to the American public.
You’re so right Rod —- the comparison couldn’t be more stark and clear between the Trump achievements and the silly little arfy-dog Dem politicians here in California, even as we speak.
(No offense meant to little arfy-dogs)
How about we force everyone that’s gonna go into an elected office and or work for someone in elected office i.e. Newson’s new press council that are both transsexuals and/or homo are required to pass these? The first question you would ask is what are you?
Upon understanding that these people are psychotic, mentally challenged, and or cannot see what is in front of them immediately they’re deemed unqualified for the position!
That would solve so many problems! That’s probably why they’re giving so much money to the illegals and not the American citizens, in addition to stealing the votes
Last year the California Supreme Court of California proclaimed “there shall be taxation without representation”.
Those remaining in California holding glued down assets are a “pidge” to be bled to extinction.
This is a great summary of the California Hell we’ve been living with for so long, especially recently with the Newsom/Bass destruction and the fires and all the latest shenanigans of anti-ICE and now this “redistricting” abomination. All courtesy of Newsom and our (illegitimately elected) mega-majority Dem legislature. And California Hell, as residents know too well, actually never ends its bombardment. We can’t get a moment’s peace, but it has come to a head now, seems to me. When eyes have been opened, and people are waking up big time, we can see that they can see how PREPOSTEROUS Worst Governor Ever Newsom & Co.’s “Saving Our Democracy” horse manure is. It’s all becoming universally clear as a bell now.
So good luck, foolish Dem Operative Wannabe Thugs! Looks like you have your cheating work cut out for you this time around. And, by the way, try to be more interesting — you know, like a Bond villain? Your repetitive prattle is annoying, sure, but also super super boring nowadays.
“Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” John Emerich Edward Dal berg Acton
This quote above rings more true today than ever!
Newsom is a power hungry megalomaniac! He outwardly becomes more grotesque each and everyday. He can no longer hide his hideous thirst for power.
This only stops when we demand better!
Please speak out. It is my understanding the Democrats have set up a portal so citizens can voice their opinion on this redistricting scam!

Thanks One Fed Up Cali Girl! I just submitted my comment.
@ProtectFreeddom and @SkunkdinD7
You are welcome and yes it feels great to get those comments in!
That was fun. Thanks, I’ll pass this on.
Are Gavin Newsom and Justin Trudeau brothers by a different mother? Both are characteristically narcissistic entitled miscreant tyrants whose political legacy is or will be inglorious disintegration.
The domination of Democrat rule is as undemocratic as it can be… despotic at best, demonic at worst.
“When the representative body have lost the confidence of their constituents, when they have notoriously made sale of their most valuable rights, when they have assumed to themselves powers which the people never put into their hands, then indeed their continuing in office becomes dangerous to the state.” ~ Thomas Jefferson
Why don’t 38-40% of California Republicans have standing to stop these oppressors who hold $50 million to subvert common sense policies that reverse gender mutilation, DEI, sanctuary status, energy rates and gas prices, homeless camps, insurance premiums . . . ? CAGOP?
“Trump has turned the USA into a golden toilet” is a much more accurate and timely quote (I am quoting myself lol).
Trump has flushed decency and common sense down the toilet – anyone with a brain can see that.
I was hoping this website would offer a more nuanced view of California politics, but you’re posting trash.
Let me sum it up: Newsom is a slick politician – I don’t really care for the man but like Biden, he does more good than harm.
Trump is a criminal – I detest the man and cant wait to see him flushed down a golden toilet in to the sewer of history and then forgotten. He does no good at all.
Which side are you on – a messy democracy or a Putin-style dictatorship?
Give us, not-so-smart plebes, examples of your assertions that Trump does no good. Just two or three examples. And gives an example of Trump’s Putin-style dictatorship. Just one.
Thanks.
@Robert G. Martinengo. What planet do you live on? You are the perfect example of a person suffering from an incurable psychological impairment called TDS – Trump Derangement Syndrome. Instead of coming HERE, the BEST way for you to relieve yourself is to find a nice sandy beach somewhere alone, sit down, and scream, while pounding sand, about how much you hate President Trump. Rest assured that no one on this forum will give a goddam what you say because they won’t be hearing it, Troll.
Neither!
I am on the side of a Constitutional Republic!
Honestly, of course you would quote yourself😂
I think it would be easier if you just said, Orange Man Bad!
Abe posts a great question, we will be waiting with bated breath for your answer😏
Please provide concrete evidence that “Trump is a criminal” Robert… we’ll wait….
Your Democrat lawfare team tried to do that for four full years of the “Joe Biden” administration and couldn’t come up with anything…
Admit it, you’re unable or unwilling to separate POLICIES from PERSONALITIES and are influenced by feelings and personalities… as is the case with the majority of contemporary Democrats….
We are on the side of LEADERSHIP and cleaning up the swamp of politics that the Democrats have created in California and also in the swamp in D.C., which has instituted cheat-by-mail voting since the “pandemic”

Only a complete idiot would think that Newsom and Biden have done more good than harm. If Robert is really concerned about the lack of decency and common sense, then he needs to focus on Gavin Newsom who has neither. If anyone is a criminal and acts like a dictator, it’s Gavin Newsom who has destroyed the state in his quest for power and control. Newsom is a sleaze bag who had an affair with the wife of his campaign manager and close friend, he locked millions of healthy Californians and small businesses down while he and his Democrat cronies moved freely around the state and they even enjoyed a lavish meal at the French Laundry restaurant, he mandated experimental mRNA shots that have turned out to be lethal in many cases, he spent more than a billion dollars of taxpayer funds to purchase 200 million face masks from a CCP connected company that never delivered, he’s allowed crime and homelessness to get completely out of control, he’s provided sanctuary and taxpayer funded benefits to millions of illegals in the state while refusing to cooperate with federal immigration laws, and he acts like an imperial dictator who ignores the will of the voters such as in the case of Proposition 36 that voters overwhelming supported to repeal Proposition 47.
Newsom needs to be hauled before a tribunal and be held accountable for his many crimes against humanity. He and his wretched soul (if he still has one) have a lot to account for.
Sadly there are many brainwashed TDS fools like Robert in California who try to shift the blame for the mess that California is in from Newsom and the Democrats. Many of us detest TDS fools like Robert who have allowed corrupt Democrat dictators like Newsom to get and stay in office.
Amen, Samantha!
The poster Robert G. Martinengo sounds suspiciously like he’s a member of Hair-gel Hitler Newsom’s Rapid Response media team? Maybe he’s really Brandon Richards (he/him | 🏳️🌈 bi+) who often contacts Katy Grimes?
BINGO
It’s either Little Bi-Dog Brandon or one of the other Wicked Newsom Flying Monkeys —- the ones he sends out for just such occasions as this, but not for any other. (A “tell.”)
Who knows, maybe it’s even Wicked Newsom himself, bored with being a fake Governor!
We are seeing the Flying Monkeys show up in other places too like calling, with nervous shaky voices, radio hosts John Phillips and Randy Wang on KABC-AM 790, for instance. Guess what the topic was? (Hint: Redistricting) One particular flying monkey emissary, who lied to get on the air, was SO OBNOXIOUS John Phillips loudly gave him a satisfying piece of his mind. I’d never heard John yell before.
@Robert G. Martinengo, Please provide examples of what Newsom has done which has benefitted working and middle class Californians. If wouldn’t be jobs. Newsom and the Democrats are chasing those out of the state, and we now have the second highest unemployment rate. It wouldn’t be energy prices. Those are the highest in the nation. It wouldn’t be education. We have the highest dropout rate in the nation. It wouldn’t be crime. Newsom has emptied the prisons, and fails to fund Prop. 36 which passed with 70% of the vote. It wouldn’t be infrastructure. Only six states have roads in worse condition than California according to the Bureau of Transportation. It’s wouldn’t be taxes. California has the highest income and gas taxes in the nation.
I am out of ideas. Let’s hear it Robert. We’ll wait.
This site has your attention but there’s no need to headbang, it will only wake the shift workers. yourselfYou don’t need to respond
OMG – look at the bookends of personalities in the background….
Maxine “James Brown inspired my hair” Waters and Adam “Shifty” Schiff… two of the biggest IDIOT losers on the deep-bench of Democrat loser politicians… where’s Eric “Bang Bang Fang Fang” Swalwell??? Maybe out lifting weights again???
Hair-gel Hitler Newsom looks like an evil reptilian warlock surrounded by his spirit cooking coven of demonic Democrats?
Is that woman in back of Newsom with the wild hair wearing an ill-fitting pinkish color suit Democrat Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove whom Journalist Matt Taibbi is suing for $10 million dollars in a libel suit for accusing him of serial sex offenses without any proof? Her big Democrat braggadocious potty-mouth really got herself into trouble?
(https://californiaglobe.com/fr/journalist-matt-taibbi-files-10-million-libel-lawsuit-against-ca-rep-sydney-kamlager-dove/)
LOL
Ha, ha, nope Fang Fang even ditched him🤣
His latest stunt is grocery shopping and feigning anger over high prices!
The dude is so dull he cannot fathom that Biden’s inflation has long term effects on groceries!
He is so dull, he does not take into account that our high gas prices here in California increase production and transportation costs! I could go on but ya know it’s Eric Fartswell! He should start shopping around for a lawyer instead!
“Give us, not-so-smart plebes, examples of your assertions that Trump does no good. Just two or three examples. And gives an example of Trump’s Putin-style dictatorship. Just one.”
Why should I? If you can’t see what’s right in front of you, you need a better optician.
I will give Trump credit for one thing: he likely had Epstein – shall we say, suspended? – a fitting end for that creep (and close personal friend of Trump).
What a lame response. President Trump cut off social ties with Epstein in 2004 after he was caught during a social gathering at Mar-a-Lago trying to proposition Virginia Giuffre, then a Mar-a-Lago pool locker-room attendant whose groundskeeper dad got her a job there. It was Bill and Hillary Clinton who were Epstein’s very close personal friends. They traveled on his private jet numerous times even after his conviction. God only knows what sexual perversions that Newsom and Biden have committed. We’ve all seen Biden sniffing and fondling young children on camera.
TJ,
Come on, be honest: who is more likely to have groped a child – Trump or Biden?
Get real, if President Trump had ever done such a thing, then the Democrat/RINO/deep state demons would have loudly provided documentation of it long ago. On the other hand, there is actual video evidence of creepy Biden sniffing and fondling young children at numerous events while he was president. Don’t forget that Biden’s daughter Ashley detailed in her diary how he used to inappropriately shower with her when she was a young girl. Now run along goofy troll and go back to writing fake press releases for Hair-gel Hitler Newsom.
LOL,
I’ ll take the daily double, Alex…
Biden loved groping kids and sickly sniffing their necks in public! It is on film!
His own daughter wrote about him improperly showering with her as a little girl!
Like father, like son, Hunter was into some sick stuff as well.
Another Mos Eisley Cantina pre-closing photo.
“Rest assured that no one on this forum will give a goddam what you say because they won’t be hearing it, Troll.”
Lol – the reason the trolls who run this dumb site don’t block me is because I motivate you maga chuds to reply, thus adding a few more red cents to their meagre ad revenue. Glad to help!
Let’s try the sanity check one last time:
Biden or Trump – who has the most felony convictions?
The question should be how many felonies will Joe Biden and Gavin Newsom be guilty of once they are hauled into court and they’re held accountable for their many shady dealings and their grievous crimes against humanity? Real justice is coming for them not only in this life but also after they pass on!
No doubt Robert G. Martinengo obediently and willingly took the toxic Covid “vaccination” shot along with the booster shots that authoritarian and totalitarian Democrats like Gavin “Hair-gel Hitler” Newsom and creepy Joe Biden mandated? Maybe those shots have affected Robert’s mental state? He may not be long for this world?
Yes, but notice &Robert Montenengo never answered Abe’s question!
Why, because he cannot give an honest answer! The FACTS are not on his side!
Buh Bye, @Robert.
Wat was the question? I have answers to everything! I just forgot which moronic Glob post’s I’ve responded to with my pearls of wisdom. Abe Lincoln posted? Impressive.
Ok, here we go:
“Give us, not-so-smart plebes, examples of your assertions that Trump does no good. Just two or three examples. And gives an example of Trump’s Putin-style dictatorship. Just one.”
The problem is, no matter what I say about Trump, you will claim that its wrong.
Let’s test this theory:
“Born into a wealthy family in New York City, Trump graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1968 with a bachelor’s degree in economics. He became the president of his family’s real estate business in 1971, renamed it the Trump Organization, and began acquiring and building skyscrapers, hotels, casinos, and golf courses. He launched side ventures, many licensing the Trump name, and filed for six business bankruptcies in the 1990s and 2000s. From 2004 to 2015, he hosted the reality television show The Apprentice, bolstering his fame as a billionaire. Presenting himself as a political outsider, Trump won the 2016 presidential election against Democratic Party nominee Hillary Clinton.”
True or false?
Katy, not to drag you in here but have you ever met Izzy Gardon? Who is he and what does he do other than fan the flames with his posts. Thanks
