Newsom is trolling Trump with his own tweets

This stuff is kind of funny, but more of the usual liberal talk an zero action.

In this case there is action of a sort - the same gerrymandering that Texas is doing as a counterbalance. Whether that's better than nothing is up for debate. I think probably but this whole saga just goes to show how completely unserious the American electorate is. So memes and trolling it is I guess.

At the first instant, my brain interpreted this as hinting that Carlson and Kid Rock had died and I was so pleasantly surprised.

Fucking Mondays.

Damn I hate Newsom but whoever his PR team is theyr fucking killing it with shit like this

EDIT: Friggin autocorrect "new some" lol

God dammit…this is actually pretty funny.

Can somebody explain the context of this? Who are the people in the picture?

People:
left: Kid Rock
center back: Hulk Hogan
center: Gavin Newsom, Gov. of California
right: Tucker Carlson
Context: all except Newsom are Trump supporters (Hulk Hogan was, he died). Trump is known for posting stupid AI generated pictures in this style with people worshipping him. Newsome makes parodies of that.
- Thanks!
The people standing are Kid Rock, Hulk Hogan, and Tucker Carlson. Not sure who's sitting down, or who the twitter account is, or what the rest of the context is 😅
- Thanks!

Why is fucking Newsom, the most neoliberal establishment motherfucker to ever walk the earth, the first Dem to figure out you can take these assholes down by just using their tactics against them?

It's like if Pelosi just walked down onto the the chamber floor and just started yelling "okay boomer" every time someone tried to talk, while going the fortnight dance.

Because he's also a narcissistic snake who has been self-interested and corrupt for years.
Which sadly, is exactly what we need to oppose the narcissistic snakes in power right now. We're just fortunate that he is finding success and support to his liking in being the opposition we wish we had.
I support the tactic broadly, I hope the rest of the so-called Democrats pick it up and start mountain an actual "get in the dirty trenches" opposition that declaws Trump's political capital.
I really can’t stand Newsom. The guy is some of the worst aspects of the Dem party (note I did not say “the left”) Virtually guarantees they’ll run him.
I don't know, I think Tim Waltz figured it out and then the Harris campaign shut him down. The whether or not it works or not I'm not sure. Certainly doesn't look like anything's been taken down.
- TL;DR: calling fascists weird was and is EXTREMELY effective messaging and pivoting away from it was probably one of the top reasons for Trump being able to infest the white house again.

  100%. Without a shadow of a doubt. Never underestimate the ability of the DNC to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in order to please the owner donors and/or uphold arbitrary institutional norms.
  The whether or not it works or not I'm not sure.
  It ABSOLUTELY worked. Harris/Walz were far ahead in the polls while they were still calling weirdos weird and then they nosedived when they switched from that to the 1992 playbook.
  The Trump messaging works by convincing people that the fascists are the only normal ones/the in group in a world taken over by abnormal and immoral people of the out groups
  Even SUGGESTING that they might be just another out group rather than the only in group weakens the "everything our Dear Leaders say or do is correct because it's against the weirdos" narrative and more importantly the feeling of belonging and of being on the right side of history that the leaders of the cult have instilled in the followers.
  Regular people have no problem being called weird (in fact, a lot of us actively celebrate our weirdness), but a fascist movement simply falls apart without the solid conviction that they're the only sane and normal ones.
  This went a little longer than I intended, so I'll add a TL;DR at the top lol
Just give me a fucking fair primary, please. I'm going to lose my goddamn mind if they ram Newsom through like they did with Clinton and Biden.
- Do they even need primaries at all anymore? We'll just vote for whoever they select because it'll be less damaging than the Republican.
- It depends on how much contempt they have for electorate. And their propensity to learn anything.

That halo over Hogan's head is the biggest mistake I've seen from AI so far

Gotta appeal to who this is intended for

LFG!!! Remember how "weird" almost took him out? This mud fight is long overdue. America could be the first country to resolve a civil war fought entirely through memes.

Newsom is going hard right now and I love it.

If Newsom would stop going hard right, I'd love it more.
Probably some kid in the office making the memes and it getting signed off on.. Where was this when Biden was in office ?
- All over his Twitter? Pretty sure there were plenty of Dark Brandon memes, like the "just like we drew it up" tweet after the Super Bowl.
- It's some lib zoomer named Camille Zapata.

- Still being focus group tested. Need to make the meme cringe enough to spread, but still push their messaging while avoiding any solid policies.

If it comes to Newsom against Trump in the 2028 general elections, I'm writing in "Fuck America" on my ballot, since there are no current frontrunner candidates in either party who will defend my rights. But wow he made an ai slop meme. That'll show 'em.

Oh okay so you support the fascism then
- If you support a candidate who interviews far-right pundits and says he "completely aligns" with them on trans issues, then I'm sorry to say that it's you who is supporting a facist.
They count those as a vote for Trump. :)
- Must be nice having a Democrat who hasn’t thrown you under the bus :)
  A Trump presidency and a Newsom presidency would be identical for me, so in a way, either vote is a vote or Trump.
- Even more reason such a weak candidate can't be allowed to win the primary. Putting forward such a weak platform and demanding the base hold their noses didn't work in 2024, so why would it work again? Why leave things up the chance when every vote supposedly counts? 🙃
Save us the trouble and just don't show up if your going to throw.
- If you want me to stay quiet and take being the Democrats' sacrificial cow with dignity for the sake of "normalcy," I won't do it. Blue No Matter Who is so simple when it isn't your neck on the line, though.
- If Newsom is the candidate, the race will have already been thrown.
I am bela and I approve this message.

Who dat on stage left?

Fucker Carlson
- Who dat on stage right?
