I’m going to go ahead and lock this thread. The fights going on are way over my pay grade and it’s 2 days old. Rule 5 my friends.
I almost understand the appeal of Trump now
Gavin is OWNING THE CONS and now they have Gavin Derangement Syndrome
I’ve ironically been telling my Right Wing friends that he’s my new messiah and adopting Trump’s speech patterns… and I actually had to explain the joke to them when they failed to notice I was acting unusual and instead just kept shitting on Gavin for being associated with California (no other reason)
It’s fun seeing them get so mad over his being a garbage person and pretending the problem is with them for not “getting it man”
Does MAGA know Trump is shit and they’ve just been gaslighting everyone this whole time? Naw that can’t be it
It’s a shame Gavin Newsom is such a dipshit, because he’s actually funny.
Good news. He isn’t running his own Twitter.
What do you mean?
Newsom doesn’t have a truth social equivalent.
Yet.
How is this funny? Imitating Trump’s ranting style does not make him look satirical, it makes him look like a total dipshit cause Trump’s rants are fucking stupid and nonsensical and anyone who tries to imitate it even in a satirical manner looks unhinged.
It’s funny because it proves the Right recognizes Trump’s misbehavior the second you remove the name Trump.
It’s their confession they’ve been had
Parody is a pretty common form of comedy. Like sure it’s kind of depressing that he is imitating a president and acting like that.
But like there was a whole episode of 30 Rock which is a sitcom from 15 years ago about them doing the same thing
Ok, but his parody isn’t even funny.
Yes it is.
Praise be!!!🧨🧨🧨✝️✝️✝️Gavin is good!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷
Gavin is only good if you’re a transphobe.
Is this like a cracker barrel viral advertising blitz?
Now, this is a conspiracy theory that I can get behind.
intetnational. house. of. hamburgers.

Man, it’s hard to figure out what’s more pathetic: their complete inability to process satire of the fact that they lost their shit this hard over a minimalist logo.
The logo shit is manufactured to keep the news off of important shit; before that it was the Sydney Sweeny ad, next week it’ll be something else
I have no idea what Sydney Sweeney ad you are talking about, and I’m going to take that as a win and feel better about my shitty week.
Thanks friend
The minimalist logo, it’s beyond stupid on a baseline. Don’t get me wrong it looks kinda shit and I would’ve gone for the retro old West type face they originally had but still, throwing that level of piss fit over a damned logo is… Pathetic.
Yes
Yeah, I smile every time a Republican gets trolled by Newsom.
Honestly, a small chunk of the DNC should just be dedicated to keeping Republicans enthralled (with Newsom leading that subteam) while the rest of the Democrats do proper work organizing country wide for 2026.
Walz was much better at this. Newsom’s “Look at me! I’m Trump!” routine is getting old quick.
As long as there are people who don’t get it, it will never get old.
This is like middle school playground level humor.
Gavin Newsom is a PoS just like Donny. American democrats will do anything aside from fight against Trump’s fascist regime.
All they can muster is some tweets.
I’d argue the opposite: satire and humor are the best way to get people on your side and motivated.
What’s the joke here then? Cause it isn’t funny.
In all likelihood, he’s going to be running for President against Trump in 2028, what are some reasons that I shouldn’t I vote for Newsom?
I suppose Newsom may win the presidency in 2028, and then caretake the country while doing the minimum for 4 to 8 years.
Just in time for another gop to win after that, and drive the USA to the brink of ruin even more than Trump
Back and forth. Same pattern the last two decades or more
Thing is once Trump’s gone the GOP will be in crisis. The movement is not about ideals but the man himself
Fascist movements do not end when a leader goes.
And while the gop will be splintered, they will coalesce, eventually, in time to elect someone we will curse in the 2030s
Depends on when the leader dies and how the movement splinters.
Because Germany famously remained Nazis after Hitler killed himself.
There was that other thing at about the same time …uhhh… oh yes - losing the war…which may have had something to do with it.
I would back a progressive candidate as hard as you can in the primary if possible.
Newsom has a similar vibe problem as Harris where people outside of California don’t really know them or like them much.
Personally I say fuck anyone from CA or NY (except AOC) we need a candidate from somewhere else more down to earth.
If the options in November 2028 come down to Newsom vs Trump (or whoever is his puppet), I’m still voting for Newsom. I won’t be happy about it, but if we can’t get a real progressive through the primaries, I’m still voting against the GOP and for the non-GOP candidate with the best chance of winning.
If the dems think a conservative candidate win, they will ratfuck progressives again, which is how we got Trump both times.
We need to make it absolutely clear that under no circumstances can the DNC let a conservative win the primary because they will lose the general. We did “yes, we know he sucks, but this is the most important election ever” with Biden, and he showed an entire generation that the dems are not an effective means to enacting positive social change, giving us back Trump.
Are there any progressives you are hoping will run? I’m not familiar with most politicians, would be helpful to know who’s worth learning more about.
He platforms Charlie Kirk on his podcast, and his record for how he treats policy in relation to prisons is pretty shit. In 2022 he vetoed a bill that would end indefinite solitary confinement because, ya know, that makes sense. He’s a self-important loud-mouth who’s doing funny things in regards to attack Trump but absolutely is not what the US needs right now. They to yank that needle to the left and all they’re being offered is centrists and conservatives who don’t like to stir the pot even while fascism is fully present in their country.
Be realistic. A leftist has no chance to get elected in the USA. A centrist is the best you can do.
Is that why Zohran Mamdani has been blowing every centrist in New York out of the water?
Just like Donny.
You’ve got to be kidding me. I grew up in California during Newsom and Harris’ rise to power.
As uninspiring as they are, this approach has highlighted Trump’s ridiculous communication style in a way that has not been challenged to date.
We can dive into actual policy if you want.
Nobody has challenged Trump’s communication style before? Really??
A sitting governor doing carbon copy satire of Trump’s exact style? No that has not been done before to my knowledge.
Why in gods name would we need this? How is this helping? Can we not just be fucking serious for a second here?
Y’all were serious and Trump got elected via memes in 2016 lol
Yes, 4chan was the swing vote.
The_donald tho.
Because being a sane adult isn’t a winning proposition since people who vote are also idiots?
Trying to go high and be an adult has accomplished exactly dick in 10 years.
He’s a transphobe that would gladly put homeless people in a woodchipper.
Agreed that sicking the cops on homeless people is bad policy, and doing that in response to a court ruling without plan to actually help people is egregious. Does seem like he took an opportunity to disguise a NIMBY directive behind a court ruling.
Transphobe though? What he diverges on the specific issue of trans women/girls in gender protected sports divisions and we just have to throw out everything else he’s supported or signed laws for trans and gay rights in the last 20 years?
The thing is Transpeople in Sports is a distraction and by humoring it as a real issue he is playing to the cons
He literally invited Charlie Kirk to his podcast and agreed with him about transgender ideology being a problem. That’s clear cut transphobia.

“The same as Donny” is the issue.
Something something California uber alles
Nothing new exists… yeah Ronald Reagan is objectively worse than governer moonbeam but brown picked up the same mantle. Hypothetical example newsome runs for pres, wins and he paints the wall white but doesn’t tear it down.
Nah he’s not an overt fascist, not the same as Donny in that way, but he is not an answer to fascism either. We need radical change

Not american, I get this Gavin person is governor of California, but what’s going on here?
He is trolling Trump and his supporters by tweeting like trump. Cracker barrel is a chain that caters to more senior citizens. it has a very old school, very iconic logo that defied all trends in design for the last 50 years. They tried to change it, got a huge backlash, so they cancelled the change, Trump obviously claimed this as a personal victory, so Newsom did the same, and some people apparently can’t detect trolling.
I just don’t know enough about American politicians to be able to tell that it’s a joke. With the stuff we see coming out of that country, it’s not unreasonable to think that was a serious tweet.
Totally right. The subtlety here is that the source of the nonsense tweets this way. This particular account is mocking them by imitating. The hilarious part (at least for me and OP) is that the mockery went right over their heads.
He’s made a habit of trolling rebulicans by acting like Trump.
Gavin Newsom is trolling trump by saying and typing things just like trump. In this particular one, he took credit for something he knows wasn’t him. A MAGA dude thought he meant it and called Newsom stupid. Newsom is saying the MAGAS are too stupid to get it. Newsom didn’t even type all caps, he’s probably tired of acting like a narcissist.
His press office account does the all caps
An anti-trans wealthy right-of-center politician is duping Democrat voters into giving him attention ahead of being nominated for president.
No, he’s not “trolling” Trump or MAGA, he’s not “pushing back”. The only thing these tweets have any impact on are Democrat voters. He’s performing for them.
Having an attack dog in your corner is not a bad thing. He can draw attention away from real potential candidates for the Republican smear machine to focus on.
Yeah, no, I’d rather not have him show his stupid face at all.
And you are free to continue wishing for dumb things that won’t happen.
I don’t like this liberal attitude that we need to not have standards and tolerate transphobia and hostility against the homeless to be able to beat Trump at some point. You either cross the finish line with everyone or you don’t do it at all.
this is wokescold purity testing, and it’s exactly why we have Trump now. Because wokescolds prioritized some future microaggressions instead of the very real, immediate Fascist reality and decided to dumb things like “protest vote” for Warren, or just not show up.
It’s not a purity testing to have actual fucking standards and not let a LITERAL FUCKING TRANSPHOBE have the limelight. Stop throwing trans people under the bus for the guise of pragmatism, you’re not fooling anyone.
Oh cool, trans people are soooo much more protected now. I’m sure all the Trans people who got ejected from military, losing all their benefits feel so much more protected now. All the girls having to submit to “genital inspections” for sports probably all thank you for “having standards”.
Hey, but at least you got to give it to people like Kamala and Newsome for not being pure enough for you.
Wokescold bullshit. In your effort to gatekeep the left, you let fascists take over. Good job.
I’m gonna break down your nonsense in parts because it is too absurd to even bother countering.
- Gavin Newsom isn’t the presidential candidate, therefore, we can criticize and tell him to fuck off as much as we want.
- Claiming disliking someone who doesn’t believe in human rights for certain people helps Trump is fucking asinine. How is believing in human rights going to help Trump? Please explain to me. There’s a difference between a candidate not being perfect and a candidate being a literal photocopy of the opposition.
- All of those things would happen under Newsom as well because HE IS ALSO TRANSPHOBIC.
- Kamala lost because she appealed to the inexistent “moderate republican” and preferred to take money from a genocidal ethnostate than listen to their base.
- Human rights for certain people are not negotiable for the sake of “beating fascism”. Negotiating human rights with fascists make you a fascist.
I “didn’t let fascists take over”. YOU did by alienating those you needed to win because you thought they weren’t important. Unlike you, some people have a spine, and lines they won’t cross. The bar for Newsom is fucking underground and he can’t even go over it.
Stop manufacturing consent for Blue Trump because he makes posts you find funny.
EDIT: also, anyone who uses “wokescold” as a word is not worth listening to. Fuck off, blue MAGA.
Not american either, I think we others can care about US politics when it’s affecting the rest of the world, but we really dont have to understand or care about every shopping mall chain’s logo, even if their politicians fight about it. So please, go ahead while we’re waiting for results regarding Ukraine, Gaza, tariffs and that elite pedophile ring of yours.
trump is cringe, conservatives on twitter are cringe, gavin is cringe.
You just don’t get it
Doing this a few times is funny, but Gavin is driving it into the ground.
He’s the best driver
LMAO he’s wooshing them
🚨My IQ is room temperature at best.
C or F?
Rankin
Doesn’t matter, it’s the same temperature. You can’t convert temperature to IQ.
Also, the SI unit would be K
The joke was that their IQ is the same number as room temperature.
- Fahrenheit- 70-ish. Low-average IQ
- Centigrade- 20-ish. This would be the lowest IQ ever recorded on someone able to take the test. A result this low would bring into question the ethics of having administered the test in the first place.
- Kelvin- 300-ish. Either the smartest person in the entire world or took the test multiple times and added up all their scores.
I really appreciate you trying to keep me from falling into the trappings of “pound of feathers or pound of steel,” but I wanna make sure you’re in on the joke that I’m essentially asking “are you calling them normal stupid or the dumbest person ever.”
Either way, IQ tests are inherently biased and don’t directly measure intelligence, so the whole thing is moot, but for the chuckle.
It’s usually LESS funny when you have to explain the joke, somehow this is the opposite
A result this low would bring into question the ethics of having administered the test in the first place.
Thanks, you made me lol. Well, chuckle out loud. Good enough.
Trolls convert temperature into intelligence in Discworld, though.
Rather, they inversely convert temperature into intelligence, since they need to cool down to get smarter 😄
He’s so far above their heads they can’t even see him.
Gavin out there playing 12D chess …
Now I want cracker barrel breakfast.
It’s so fucking good. I had no idea that it was supposed to be a MAGAat hangout. I just go for the southern-style cooking.
