Whether you like him or not (and I don't), Gavin Newsom is one of the few Democrats who understands that this is an Information War.

But can a Trump copycat save democracy? My thoughts on Newsom's journey from MAGA lapdog to resistance memelord.

Newsom vs Trump: From MAGA Podcaster to Democratic Memelord

Gavin Newsom has pivoted from MAGA podcaster to resistance troll. The Democrat's whiplash highlights the hazards of chasing right-wing frames

he's not a meme lord. I know meme lords

@futurebird
I feel like if he's using memes, he's a meme lord.

Are you thinking of edgelord? I think it's similar, but is mildly derogatory.

@futurebird @gilduran yeah, all of this is coming from a genz staffer. It reads genz from start to finish. Now, the Z may be a meme lord, in which case, she’ll get bored soon and wander off. And then what is Gavin gonna do?

Honest to god, can we all just agree that what we need is AOC and Jasmine Crockett?

@MissConstrue @gilduran

IDK if this is cheering people up I guess it's not so bad to have this guy be the silly one.

@futurebird @gilduran

I mean, we needed someone on the Left(ish) side to be able to take on Trump's memelords. We have much funnier people than Gavin, but none of them with his reach, and none of them are going to goad the fat, old, demented vulgarian like a fit, handsome, well dressed, actually tanned, film actor of a governor of the hippyest hippest state that has ever hipped.

I mean, fuck Gavin is practically right out of Central Casting for this role. He's perfect. Aggravate away, my son!

I just don't want him as president. Or see him again after this nightmare is over. But anything that gives King Kankles agitas is good.
