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.

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Lemmy as whole is absolute ass at detecting satire, but I've never let that stop me :)

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

I think they might be bots. They read like YT comments.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago

I think he’s kinda smarmy but he is quite good at trolling Trump.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] Rooskie91@discuss.online 183 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If only he cared as much about taxing billionaires as he cared about dunking on them.

[–] GorGor@startrek.website 49 points 2 days ago

Sweet jesus yes. And now we are faced with a potential new billionaire to rule over us.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 75 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I gotta admit, he’s a really good troll. Still don’t want him to be president.

[–] aaa999@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] BananaIsABerry@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

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

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 8 points 1 day ago

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.

Very glad they're spending time on stuff that really matters. Very epic!

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 41 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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.

[–] oppy1984@lemdro.id 31 points 1 day ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

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.

I don't need zero effort shitposts, I need healthcare

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…

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 26 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] yesman@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

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?

[–] frostysauce@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

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!

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

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?

[–] shittydwarf@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 days ago

You gotta admit his social media team is on point

[–] vzqq@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 2 days ago

Newsom is a dickhead that should spend more time with his son.
