I'm going to go ahead and lock this thread. The fights going on are way over my pay grade and it's 2 days old. Rule 5 my friends.

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.

[-] Awkwardparticle@programming.dev 13 points 1 month ago

As long as there are people who don't get it, it will never get old.

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.

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 month ago

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

Not american, I get this Gavin person is governor of California, but what's going on here?

[-] olosta@lemmy.world 138 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] RoquetteQueen@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] script_tease@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 46 points 1 month ago

He's made a habit of trolling rebulicans by acting like Trump.

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 42 points 1 month ago

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.

LMAO he's wooshing them

[-] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 1 month ago

It's a shame Gavin Newsom is such a dipshit, because he's actually funny.

[-] Omodi@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Good news. He isn't running his own Twitter.

Newsom doesn't have a truth social equivalent.

Is this like a cracker barrel viral advertising blitz?

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 13 points 1 month ago

Now, this is a conspiracy theory that I can get behind.

🚨My IQ is room temperature at best.

[-] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 month ago

I almost understand the appeal of Trump now

Gavin is OWNING THE CONS and now they have Gavin Derangement Syndrome

I've ironically been telling my Right Wing friends that he's my new messiah and adopting Trump's speech patterns... and I actually had to explain the joke to them when they failed to notice I was acting unusual and instead just kept shitting on Gavin for being associated with California (no other reason)

It's fun seeing them get so mad over his being a garbage person and pretending the problem is with them for not "getting it man"

Does MAGA know Trump is shit and they've just been gaslighting everyone this whole time? Naw that can't be it

[-] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 month ago

trump is cringe, conservatives on twitter are cringe, gavin is cringe.
