Gavin Newsom's X feed is awesome

The democrats do not understand the right-wing game.

The right wing game is that the goal is for right-wing people to get as mad as possible. Then they win. The goal is also to make left-wing people a little angry. Then they also win.

Yeah, no.

 

[Nithavela]

Yeah, no.

Come on, you can do better than that.

It doesn't make any sense as far as I can decipher.

Maybe they should've illegally entered Australia instead. No, wait, Australia deports illegals too.

With due process - and they have rights if on the Australian mainland.
But if our border forces grab their boats before they're on Australian soil - they can be detained for years without due process - and this is a violation of human rights and international law. I condemn such behaviours in whatever country they appear in - what about yourself?

Maybe the should've illegally entered a country that doesn't deport. Oops, no such country exists.

Maybe you should reply to the pertinent points above instead of being trite.

Like - DO immigrants commit more crimes than native born Americans?
DO they contribute more to the economy than they take in welfare?
ARE they human beings - or should you despise them all equally?

It's irrelevant. All countries kick out those who enter illegally. It's not something that can be pinned to one country, one party, one leader. It's universal.

It's really not that complicated.

Some right wing people play the internet game in two ways. The first way is to pick something that is minor and then get really mad about it. For example, over here in germany, there is currently a major ring-wing Brouhaha about "woke cheese", because the new packaging of a relatively popular cheese product features people of diverse color, age and sex. The more minor the thing they get mad about and the bigger the offense they take, the bigger the win.

Behold the horror:

At the same time, the internet game is played by engaging in relentless goading and trolling of the left, with the goal of "triggering" and "owning the libs". Any rise they get out of their opposition is a win for the people playing the internet game. If they don't get a rise out of them, they just reintrepret some statement of disagreement into a full-blown tantrum or take a single video frame out of context and turn it into a meme of left-wing weakness, like this popular image of a very reasonable and polite woman having a public discussion and making the deadly mistake of forming her facial muscles into this shape for a fraction of a second, henceforth and foreever more branding her as the "triggered feminist meme".

Now, please come up with a better comeback.

Sorry I don't know what to say. This in your wheelhouse not mine. I'm not familiar with the cheese product or German culture. And memes are usually out of context to the image being used. I've certainly seen videos of liberal woke whatever people having a meltdown.

I love how he nails it - the issues of the day summed up with such clarity.
And when Fox try to attack him for it - there's a vast difference at play.
Gavin can turn it off in a second - he's just having fun.
But Fox's guy? He can't help it. That IS him!
This is such an ironic twist in American political strategy!

“It’s our strength and weakness that we stand on virtue” from the guy who slept with a Chinese spy. I just had to laugh out loud at that . The party that glories in Trumps past infidelities can now be proud of Gavin who slept with his best friends wife. Gavin the failure in California is now a hero to the left. Losing residents, businesses and gaining in debt and support for illegal aliens and crime. Great candidate for next presidential election. Bring him on if should be fun. You can’t make this stuff up!

As you seem to have missed, I was addressing the end of post #28 where the poster was equating Newsom's tactics as being what "the kids in the schoolyard say". But hey, if that level of maturity is what the dems want to adopt in order to try to win elections, I can't wait to see their campaign ads next year.

Something many people seem to have missed: these mocking posts come from Newsom's Press Office Account. IOW, these are staffers posting whereas Donald's childish tantrums and self-praise are from himself.

Oh so now it wasn't really Newsom? Too late for that. MSM has him billed him as a social media troll.

Here's the NY Times among many others:

[Nithavela]

Sorry I don't know what to say.

Considering that I wasn't responding to one of your posts when you decided to quote me and write "yeah, no", perhaps it would be best to say nothing.

I said yeah, no because it didn't make any sense. And it still doesn't, so still no.

 

[DaisyDay]

It is certainly his office - clearly labeled Press Offfice.

Here's the NY Times among many others:

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/20/us/newsom-trump-social-media.html

And how does the sub-heading read? (emphasis added)

The California governor’s press office is mimicking President Trump’s distinctive Truth Social style on X. Liberals love it. The White House says it’s “just getting weird at this point.”​

Oddly, even the folk at the NYTimes can read

 

[Hans Blaster]

Mirrored back? If Newsom wants to mirror what Trump has done, he can start by reigning in the excessive government spending in CA, and do something about the illegal aliens there that he gives sanctuary to instead of allowing them to riot and attack law enforcement. He could start deporting them instead.

Good grief! Newsom's "mirroring" of Trump is of Trump's social media presence. Not his politics, or policy, etc, just the social media presence. It is done to parody. To mock. To get sycophantic fools like Dana Perino to complain about Newsom's style while not recognizing it as a mockery of Trump's own postings.

(FYI, "The Cobert Report" on Comedy Central was a parody of Fox News shows, particularly O'Reiley's.)

 

[Nithavela]

I said yeah, no because it didn't make any sense. And it still doesn't, so still no.

If there's anybody I'd choose not to understand me, it would be you.

That woman makes the best point I've heard from her side so far! "AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"
Makes perfect sense!

So Gavin didn't even see himself as clever enough to come up with this stuff himself?
BTW, he should really fire his Press office account staff. It would save the taxpayers a bit of money.

You're misunderstanding what California governor's press office means. It's like Office of the President of the United States and Oval office etc. It does't mean an office staff of multiple people making tweets.

How Gavin Newsom trolled his way to the top of social media - Politico. Gavin Newsom, not Gavin Newsom's staff members.

Newsom’s Trump act wins raves from Democrats - The Hill. Gavin Newsom, not Gavin Newsom's staff members.

It would be even worse if he was letting random people go at it.
