I don’t like him, but this is funny.

[-] very_well_lost@lemmy.world 100 points 1 year ago

I love the purpose that he's serving right now, but when the 2028 presidential primaries roll around I hope he gets completely creamed and then goes away forever.

[-] Caffeinated_Sloth@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

I agree. I also hope there’s someone to actually root for.

[-] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 year ago

People are saying that he is doing it to run in 2028, he is actually dating we might not have a free and fair election in 28:

The impression I get from listening to him talk is that he is preparing to be president before 2028, just of a new nation.

Like you said he doesn't seem to think there will be an election ( I agree) so he is positioning himself to take California and some others and go.

I need to get out of my red shit hole state when that all goes down

The real question is whether the mid terms next fall will happen. They can be avoided by a declaration of war.

Seems like he's the only governor that read the part about defeating fascists through humiliation. I am not a big fan of his previous policies, but he is the only person that's even slightly left of center presenting any fortitude right now.

[-] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

Left of center with regards to AMERICAN politics but very much center right by any other metric.

Still enjoying what he's doing though.

[-] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 year ago

Newsome is firmly on the right, he doesn't touch center. Bernie and AOC are centrists. The only person even remotely on the left that has a national presence is Zohran.

It's amazing how a man who I considered evil from 2020-2023 has redeemed himself with a sense of humor.

[-] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 49 points 1 year ago

He's still evil, but the Overton window has shifted to where normal people prefer literally a sack of shit over the current corrupt nazi pedophile

It’s just a staffer he hired. It’s not really him.

Then I want to know who the staffer is, because I want to vote for them.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 year ago

I'm pretty sure Camille Zapata isn't running for office and doesn't want to 🤷

[-] limer@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

It’s hard to elect a marketing company. However I think this may work

[-] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

nowadays companies are people legally so why not

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

and GW Bush was once considered a dunce, now he's the Republican brain trust.

It is so immemsely stupid that this is an effective strategy for both making non Trumpers giggle, and also just troll the fuck out of ....seemingly non sentient Trump supporters...

But then again, mockery has always been at least fairly effective against fascists, at least as a form.of rhetoric... hopefully this can at least buoy some morale to be able to translate into meaningful action.

[-] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 12 points 1 year ago

I just find it incredibly depressing that this shit is what gets people interested in politics. It's no wonder our country is circling the drain.

If you trust everyone in your coalition it’s not a coalition.

[-] zbyte64@awful.systems 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Is it a coalition if you can't trust them to not betray those in the coalition?

[-] NIB@lemmy.world 62 points 1 year ago

Carney has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever.

[-] ruuster13@lemmy.zip 37 points 1 year ago

Fuck a pig on live TV? (Sorry to bring trump into this)

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

As long as he gives proper dues to Black Mirror and David Cameron 🤷

[-] ruuster13@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago

The pig will likely not.

[-] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

I know he's not going to because he's actually playing this like an adult, but damn I wish our federal government would troll 'em just a little in the style of the Fords.

fuck it, I'd be fine with Dougie doing it. he's not federal, so Trump can't claim it was Canada doing it, and he's got the aura for it already. c'mon Dougie, play your part for us before you go back to destroying the environment, giving handouts to your corporate buddies, and trying to waste taxpayer money on terrible traffic solutions

[-] Gork@sopuli.xyz 52 points 1 year ago

Future historians are going to look back on these tweets and be like 🤔🤔🤔

[-] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 21 points 1 year ago

There will be a missing link in the record and for the longest time they'll think Gavin Newsom actually invented this style.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

Or that Gavin Newsom is the alter ego of John Barron.

Canada should make an announcement that they are building the biggest and most beautiful plane for Newsom, far better than Air Force one and probably the best plane ever. Also, Trump is not allowed on it ever.

I only recognize the true president of America, Juan Guiado

[-] Bwaz@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Someone should use AI to churn out volumes of Trump-style psycho tweets, post it everywhere. Make it obvious how stupid it is. FOX and Newsmax don't expose the more insane of Trump's social media excretions.

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

You should just publish a big beautiful book of all his tweets. It is all public record so it would be legal and probably a real page turner.

Stick to ALL CAPS; the American mainstream can't take much subtlety.

Huh? Where is he being transphobic in this tweet?

[-] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 year ago

He isnt in this post specifically, but that doesn't change the fact that Newsome is transphobic and needs to fuck off.
