Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom of California has taken off the gloves!
His office is now seriously trolling and mocking Trump/MAGA
at an absolutely genius level of satire.
The visual memes perfectly imitate slavish MAGA idolatry.
The written tweets reproduce the unmistakable style
of Trump's incoherent ALL CAPS rants.
And here's the woman who leads Newsom's social media team --
Keep up the hilarious work, Team Newsom!
Sorry Debra but I don't like it. Although it is kind of funny, the governor of America's most populous and most affluent state should not be sinking to Trump's level and mimicking his terrible gutter-style of communication. Mr Newsom should be above all of that - more dignified and serious.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately Yorkshire Pudding, when Michelle Obama said, "When they go low, we go high!" was taken literally by the GOP to mean "LOOK! THEIR BALLS ARE EXPOSED! KICK THEM!!!" Gavin is finally a Democrat who is fighting back on their level, and honey - we so fucking need to hear him! He found the nerve that no other Democrat is willing to strike. It's been 10 years of Trump vulgarity, ever since he waddled his ass off his gold-plated escalator in 2015. Time to hit him where it hurts using his own MO.
DeleteWe never really had a strong Democratic leader. When Hillary was running, she tried to make a strong stand with the comment that MAGA was nothing but a "...basket full of deplorables", and the GOP went after her with tar and feathers until she agreed she "overstepped" and then she was forced to go on an "apology tour". Fuck that shit.
Newsom is showing balls; I say "GO FOR IT!!!"
I disagree.
DeleteHe's not mimicking him.
He's taking the mick out of him & MAGA.
I don't get how the first one is funny because someone tried to kill him - but other than that, I think it's the best way to critique is to lampoon.
It’s quite sad that this is what political rivalry has become in the United States. Apart from this, the Democratic Party seems to have faded away.
ReplyDeleteIt’s going to be a long 3+ years but it should be entertaining in ways now.
ReplyDelete...amen, sister!
ReplyDeleteWhat Newsom's team is doing, is utterly fantastic and to the point. I love it all.
ReplyDeleteAnd hey, he is a good looking guy compared to the old orange guy.
The memes and posts are hilarious, but I sure hope they‘re the right thing to do.
ReplyDeleteWe have left "above it all" a long time ago. It's great to see someone take the gloves off and not be afraid of diaper Don and his MAGAt cult.
ReplyDeleteAmen!
DeleteI’m of the belief that if it takes sinking to the level of the right to dispose of the disgusting djt, so be it. The gloves are off, in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteThe Orange Bastard can dish it out, but he just can't take it! I hope that gorgeous Newsom and his crew keep dishing it out until the Orange Bastard's head explodes!
ReplyDelete🤣 I love orange-faced Newsom! I agree that this hitting back at Trump could misfire, but only if Newsom does only that. So far, unlike Trump, Newsom is still doing governing while his comms shop does the trolling. Trump does his own stupid trolling even while he is in meetings with world leaders!! 🤬
ReplyDeleteNewsom walks AND chews Trump's ass at the same time!! 🤩
I love them! A guest on Real Time last night didn't think so...he's a Rethuglicam, of course!
ReplyDeleteLove these!
ReplyDeleteFighting fascism by any means necessary. I notice the people with reservations are not in the US living this hell daily. I say we do whatever it takes.
ReplyDeleteTHIS, 100%.
DeleteI somewhat agree with Yorkshire though I know it's not Gavin Newsom doing it, it's a hire doing it.
ReplyDeleteStill you can't argue that Gavin as Superman and The Felon as The Diddler isn't the most amazing thing ever.
This Californian is loving it and respects Gavin for seeming to be the only politician with the balls to take on donald two dolls. Sometimes tit for tat, I know you are but what am I, is the approach to take when dealing with an adult with a toddler's brain. But for the fact Gavin has put a moratorium on the death penalty, I'd vote for him as our next Prez.
ReplyDeleteoh my cod, too effing funny!!!
ReplyDeleteMAGA : Make Amerca Great Again. This phrase often make people upset just like some videos I have watched recently on social media platforms. Double standard in Western Media is nothing new to us nowadays
ReplyDeleteJoe and Kamala tried being dignified, and the voters elected the person who didn't hold back. Fight fire with fire, mockery with mockery. And Yes, Gavin very much sounds like he is running for President. I'd vote for him.
ReplyDeleteTHESE ARE FUCKING BRILLIANT!!!!! LOVE THEM!!!!!
ReplyDeleteViva Zapata!
ReplyDeleteSooooo Good
ReplyDeleteI've been getting so many of these Newsom memes from my friends in California.
ReplyDeleteKeep it up, the orange jerk can't handle it.
ReplyDeleteOh that's funny.
ReplyDeleteI think the mockery is the perfect response to DJT. Newsom is not stooping to Donnie's level. He remains the better man and the more intelligent one because mocking is instructive. Newsom is speaking the only language Donnie understands. I wish there were an easy way to UPVOTE many of the comments above that express a similar sentiment.
ReplyDeleteVery entertaining
ReplyDeleteThe trouble with political parties in the U.S. is that the members and the media treat it like a team sport: my team all the way, even if they're awful, and your team cheated.
ReplyDeleteThe trouble with politicians is the pay and the perks are too good. Nobody should make $17,000/month telling everybody else what the can and cannot do. Surely $4000/month is plenty.
Debra
ReplyDeleteThat 3rd picture of the twitter post is the best. It's hysterically funny.
It's also eerily accurate.It's like a child talking.
This post made me laugh.
@ Liam Ryan -- The first meme is referencing the increasingly strong suspicion that the "assassination attempt" was performative theatre. Recent video has apparently surfaced of the security detail practising the "rescue" in advance with the photographer so as to facilitate clear sight lines for that now famous photo. Of course, two people did die for it.
ReplyDeleteYes, he's not mimicking, he's taking the Mickey out of Donnie Two Dolls and mocking the ridiculous absurdity of how this President behaves and the incoherent Posts/Tweets he indulges in... it's hilarious and I know it's getting under the Skin of the Administration and the MAGA World, who, when their Idiot In Chief does it they eat it up... but when it's the butt of a Joke they suddenly realize they have become The Joke.
ReplyDeleteThanks, everyone, for the great discussion in the comments today -- everyone on both sides of the issues made thoughtful and important points!
ReplyDeleteI commend Newsome on fighting fire with fire, but am uneasy about what he's been saying about transgender athletes lately.
ReplyDeleteNewsom is a broken reed on transgender issues and his treachery to the farmworkers. He sided with the growers against them, signed legislation favoring big ag. This trolling is great but it's not making me overlook his huge disqualifications as a presidential candidate.
DeletetRUMP cool? They have to be kidding!
ReplyDeletePlease! we need a hero now to rescue us from our bondage.
ReplyDeleteGrace of olden people has long gone unfortunately and it’s not a good sign at all for all of us
ReplyDeleteIt's too bad the high road led nowhere. These are funny and are sure to enrage The Menace. Memes aren't the whole story but they do serve to call out the ridiculous behaviour of the Cheeto-in-Charge. American politics have sunk to a new low overall, but that isn't Newsom's fault.
