I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted (there are deleted child comments so maybe that's where the issue lies), you're pretty spot on. When I was less politically educated (I don't pretend to be the most informed now) and considered myself a liberal I was pretty cool with Newsom. Never looked into much of his policies but the headlines usually phrased things in a way that aligned with my ideals at the time so I was ok with him. Now that I'm a good deal older and pay a bit more attention to things I think he's a complete tool, but in a freak scenario where Trump gets elected for an illegal 3rd term and goes full dictator and Newsom successfully secedes California from the US, California is the obvious option.
