Thank you for your comment. It helps with context and gives me some perspective. It seems generally in line with the perception many of us outsiders have about the US generally and the direction it has been going in for a long time now.
And I also appreciate you sharing some of the reasons Americans don't like Newsom. I feel like I understand their perspective a bit better now.
