    I think the difference in this case is that this is a self-serving action. Trump breaks the law or violates the Constitution to benefit himself and his cronies, but if, for example, Joe Biden broke the law to cancel a bunch if student loan debt, I would support that. I dont support what Newsom is doing here. He’s doing the very garbage that has cost Democrats the presidency twice now and will continue to cost them elections in the future.

      Which I think is the point. The point is that you are supposed to be upset because it’s an objectively garbage thing to do. And if it is, why is the president allowed to do it?

      I wouldn’t follow this man into battle, but so far he’s the only one that has enough balls to call out his bullshit like this. 80% of the politicians in this country are spineless and just waiting for it all to blow over. I’d rather see “fuck you” energy over being passive any day of the week.
