    Just leave it. Let him rename freeways after his kids. Let him go as extreme as we can tolerate. We are learning to run and we have to trump a nice bruise so we learn to never trump again ever.

    With a strongly worded letter of disapproval. I could give a fuck about the name change. I’m more concerned about the Dems being OK with being swindled about the health care vote, the potential war with Venezuela, and the SCOTUS ruling on the 14th amandment.

    Compared to those, he could name it the Epstein center for all I care.

    I’m more concerned about the Trump Supreme Court, the Trump dept. of Justice, and the Trump military, but this is pretty bad too. It’s nice to see the Democrats have found an issue worth fighting for.

    Newsom should start strenuously denying rumors that the high speed train is going to be called the Trump Train. Defiantly state that no public infrastructure in California will ever be named after Trump. Reveal a proposal to call it the Trans-Californian Railway. Show some mock-ups of pink and turquoise trains. State that Trump is not wealthy enough to afford naming rights.

    Get some other Governors and Mayors on board, and Trump could spend the rest of his life occupied by demanding each piece of infrastructure in the country gets named after him.

    This is exactly the kind of symbolic trivia that establishment Democrats are going to fight for so that they can pretend to themselves and others that they hold beliefs and are accomplishing something all while having no principles and doing nothing substantive.

    Great, thanks.

    So how about we get enraged and vow to fight the blatant fascism going on in [gesturing about broadly].

    Too much to ask?

    Bullshit. They don’t fight for actual millions of their constituents. Why would they fight for a building name?

      The other question you should ask yourself is why don’t Republicans fight for the millions of their constituents?
