It's kind of frightening to see how many people in this thread have taken this completely seriously.
Fuck Newsom, but this is clearly tongue in cheek

I don't think Lemmy gets satire very well. But even I'm surprised how many whooshes are going on in here.
Lemmy as whole is absolute ass at detecting satire, but I've never let that stop me :)
I think they might be bots. They read like YT comments.
I think he’s kinda smarmy but he is quite good at trolling Trump.
I get the joke, but I still dislike it.
The joke may have been funny for a spell, but I find it kinda stale now.
If only he cared as much about taxing billionaires as he cared about dunking on them.
Sweet jesus yes. And now we are faced with a potential new billionaire to rule over us.
I gotta admit, he’s a really good troll. Still don’t want him to be president.
we can just attach his social media manager to someone good and get all of the positives
you just know
I know, and I hate it.
In 2028 we'll have a AOC > Newsom handoff in the same vein as Bernie > Clinton.
My favorite word in politics: Primaries! Get working now, newscummers sure are!
What exactly is a news cummer?
Cool, now do "Calibucks".
Newsom is a dildo, but his team has the right idea memeing on cheeto man
It's the best way to attack Trump. You can point out all of his lies and hypocrisy until you're blue in the face but it won't matter because he doesn't care about reality nor do his followers.
Trump is a bully, and like all bullies he can give it out but he absolutely cannot take it. He's got onion thin skin, trolling him is the best way of retaliating.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER
Very glad they're spending time on stuff that really matters. Very epic!
Newsom is pathetic. Here's to a full 2028 primary where he finds out exactly how unwanted his politics are before he gets anywhere near that nomination.
I completely agree and dread how the Dems will push him to the front despite the voters picking an actual progressive candidate.
But I do have to admit some of his trolling does make me laugh and the fact that the PedoKing and his magat worshipers are butt hurt by it does bring a smile to my face.
Is the democratic party actually going to talk about politics this time around? Or will it just be more "I'm not that other guy".
How cool would it be if each person’s portrait looked like this on their license tho…
That would be awesome! My current license looks like a mugshot because they told me not to smile.
Hah that’s funny, now talk to us about being “culturally normal” again.
Every time I see the Governor, I'm reminded of that Lion King song: Oh I just can't wait to be king!
People will say it's him or Hitler, because it takes that kind of relief to make Newsom acceptable to a progressive. So I'm just going to say now: I'm not voting for him. Don't start lecturing me about vulnerable people because Newsom already threw trans people under the bus. He also actively hates homeless people. And being inhuman to migrants is more Californian than Hollywood.
If "saving America" means voting for Sheriff James Davis over Adolf Hitler, then you have to wonder, is she worth saving?
Jesus fucking Christ, we're starting this already? I don't give a fuck how much you don't like him you'd be the kind of fool that got us into this mess in the first place of you don't get off your ass and vote against Hitler.
Otherwise, kindly FUCK OFF!
Liberals and Communists unable to hold their noses and hold hands in the face of Fascism has historically only ever worked out well, right?
...right?
You gotta admit his social media team is on point
Newsom is a dickhead that should spend more time with his son.
