Extreme radical left Political policies based purely on emotion and political gain rather than scientific fact. Newsom Politics rarley, if ever, benefit the people that they are implemented on. Based on California governer Newsom and his failed policies that make the people of California suffer.

Can also mean the act of forcing a policy onto a populace and then hypocritically not following that policy.
Person 1: Hey man you wanna go eat at Rob's sandwich shop?

Person 2: Didn't you hear? It closed down for good because of Newsom Politics.

Person 1: Wow really? Me and my dad ate there for years..

Person 2: At least we can go to French Laundry with 11 of our buddies and no masks like the gorverner did!

The worst governor of California. He created tons of new taxes, closed the beaches for no reason, and is doing nothing to battle the homeless crisis in California.
Larry: "Hey did you hear that instead of implementing new carbon emission laws, Gavin Newsom decided to ban gas powered cars completely?"
Bob: "Nope, and honestly I'm not even surprised."

An inexplicably up-and-coming harpist, harpsichordist, singer, and songwriter with a very distinctive singing style and a more than eccentric fanbase.
Dane: Just wait until you hear "Bridges and Balloons." It's so deep and moving, and probably my favorite Joanna Newsom song.

James: Wtf, turn that sh** off -- she sounds like a dying cat!
