    Why do people keep spamming Gavin Newsome shit?

    Like, you guys realize Newsom is the type of Dem that hung out with the Clinton’s and trump for decades right?

    You know he’s a neoliberal shitstain that will only actually fight against progress?

    I legitimately don’t understand why this would be automatically happening.

    Edit:

    Did people really forget five months ago when Newsom was sucking up to MAGA?

    He’ll literally say/do anything for attention.

      Because he is a high profile politician making Trump look like an ass?? You’d be seeing a lot of Tulsi Gabbard if she started mocking Trump, too. Doesn’t mean everyone is a fan

        making Trump look like an ass

        Oh wow, that’s almost as important as raising awareness that fucking cancer exists…

        He’s not actually doing anything, it’s a grift like Susan Kommen.

        If all you care about is insults and slap fighting, I guess it makes sense to feel like Newsom is somehow accomplishing something other than campaigning for president right now.

        If you actually want to fix America, you’d also be pissed billionaire owned media is giving Newsom all the oxygen

          Do you think you’re the only person in the world capable of holding two non-conflicting opinions or something?

          I don’t love Newsom and it’s obvious he’s trying to garner support but…it’s still funny? And it’s getting air time on the right, shining a light on how ridiculous the tactic is.

          There’s soooo much to dunk on Newsom for but this ain’t it

            but…it’s still funny

            It’s not …

            He’s just acting like trump

            Like, it’s only been a few months since he was bringing Steve Bannon and Charlie Kirk onto his own podcast, and agreeing with them.

            He was acting like trump then.

            He is acting like trump now.

            It’s not a joke, it’s not ironic.

            It’s who he is.

              I believe that you don’t think it’s funny. I don’t believe you don’t recognize it’s a joke.

                It’s a joke bro

                Was this a joke too?

                Newsom also agreed with or praised Kirk scores of times — so much, in fact, that Kirk later said “Gov. Newsom was being overly effusive in his praise of me.” Listening to the Democrat — who as mayor of San Francisco two decades ago was at the vanguard of the gay rights movement — gush with warmth and admiration for a far-right commentator who has promoted the racist “great replacement theory,” called for completely banning gender-affirming care for trans people and described trans people as “disgusting, mentally ill, neurotic, predatory freaks” was jarring and disheartening.

                https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/gavin-newsom-is-pivoting-to-the-right-it-could-blow-up-in-his-face/ar-AA1B4tJS

                What about this?

                In the headline-generating moment of the interview, Newsom said it was “deeply unfair” to allow transgender women and girls to compete in female sports. He also objected to “woke culture,” saying nobody in his office ever used the term “Latinx” — even though he has used the term himself in the past multiple times. The conversation seemed to signal that Newsom is moving to the right of the Democratic Party establishment on a number of culture war issues.

                It’s all a joke bro…

                  THE JOKE (VERY GENIUS) IS THE TWEET ABOUT TRUMP “LIKE THIS” AND IT’S EXTRA FUNNY THAT THE RIGHT WING MEDIA (MORONS) ARE TALKING ABOUT HOW STUPID AND “CHILDISH” IT IS TO COMMUNICATE THIS WAY

                  (Link/quote)

                  None of is relevant when we’re just laughing at the tweet. If Hegseth punched Trump in the face, would you not laugh?

                    I applaud your effort at carrying the conversation through despite the other person refusing to acknowledge that Trump satire aimed at Trump (and making the right upset) is funny as hell. It is. You’re doing great.

      Yeap, he’s like king of the nepo babies. His father was the lawyer to one of the Getty heirs and their son and Gavin became best friends. His rich friend has bankrolled all of his businesses and his run for office. Gavin Newsome has never accomplished anything by himself in his entire life, maybe besides cheating on his wife. The man can’t even read.

      Yeah, it’s really disappointing to see someone as shitty as Gavin Newsom being celebrated for such a stupid and lazy tactic.

      Like sure if this would change anything or lower support for Trump and the GOP, then fine, but it won’t.

      Fuck Trump and fuck Gavin Newsom.

        when someone who is in charge, disregards all laws and rules and sends armed men to kidnap people…there is no rules and you fight fire with fire.

        this is what you’re seeing right now, except you expect those fighting to continue to fight in a way that’s being completely disregarded.

        aka: don’t try talk reason to the one who’s currently punching your face in. fight back

          So “fight fire with fire” to you is fight armed men kidnapping people with mocking tweets? Oh come on. You’re being duped. This isn’t a win because it doesn’t accomplishing anything.

            the fight is with the dude telling those guys to attack, via his tweets…so yes.

            it’s doing more then what the rest of them are doing, which is literally nothing but hiding away. at least someone is calling his bullshit out and mocking him the same way he calls everyone out on lies and mocks them for being human.
