Now, this is a conspiracy theory that I can get behind.
intetnational. house. of. hamburgers.
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.
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.
He's a transphobe that would gladly put homeless people in a woodchipper.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
Trolls convert temperature into intelligence in Discworld, though.
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.
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.
