Fighting fire with fire sets the whole neighborhood ablaze, sure, but this isn’t fire with fire. The current administration cut support and sent Marines in to patrol US streets. Newsome should punish those who cooperate with federally sanctioned hostile forces (don’t kid yourself, as a marine I can tell you we are only deployed against hostiles) but this measure doesn’t even explicitly punish. He’s just not supporting the supporters.

Just an explanation for anyone else, Biden started his term with a higher rate of deaths (steeper slope) and finished with a lower right (shallower slope) thanks for showing the removed graph!
