Continue the fight. Our democracy has fallen but we must continue the fight. Perhaps our grandchildren will live in a democracy and learn about those who fought to recover democracy, truth and more equality in America.

Is Gavin Newsom going to produce a political version of Alice in Wonderland with Donald Trump as the Queen of Hearts shouting

"Off with their heads!"

Maybe recreate the Mad Hatter Tea party with the current cabinet members?

I think Newsom and his team are the first to figure out how to disrupt Trump‘s psycho drama media channel. They are a rapid response press channel and I love it. Democrats wake up and take notice of this. So what I think is - first step accomplished📌 📌. Next, tell us how you’re going to win.

Since seeing Newsom's tweets, I have been contemplating a 2025 updated version of Tokyo Rose to combat fascism

Holy f*ck. 🤯

My brain has been rejecting newsoms posts- for so many different reasons lol- but I still retweet him & support him bc I KNEW there was a more important reason ……like this!!! But I didn't know what. The mirror! Of course.

So someone on his team knows all this? Game changer. 🤩

You are so far ahead of everyone. bye …..gotta go retweet him looking like a greek god lmao. 🫡

Hey Jim, thanks for your synopsis on Gavin Newsom‘s social media counter balance to MAGA worship of Donald Trump. I think you would say we have established a front to attack the dystopian corrupt presidency of Donald Trump. I consider your insight of the psychological processes that created MAGA as having a strong foundation and is prescient. I think your basis for reliable predictive capacity is quite high. Randi Rhodes is another prescient person that had fairly high predictive success. Randi and most Americans failed to predict that Donald Trump would be our next president in the 2024 election. To me, that indicates potential scamming that occurred, yet to be uncovered.

Thank you, Jim. Do you think Newsom’s positions on the homeless, trans people and Palestine can be nudged towards more humane stances?

Newsom is my Governor. He’s a slimy centrist who thinks not of people but of populations, but I fully support his trolling.

I also know moderate Dems will allow fascism if done by their idols to non-white people. Y’all will elect a Dem President who sends homeless people to concentration camps.

What an incredible hypocrite, you are, Vara.

Projection, much? You want President Newsom. He makes you feel safe, because you’re not homeless, trans, or Muslim.

Vara, in case you haven’t realized it yet, we have a fascist regime in place. We are the opposition. Trump is sending the military into sixteen more states. Get your head out of the sand. It’s not me projecting. Have you ever opened a history book? Read “Strongmen”, by Ruth Ben-Ghiat. Might open your eyes, which are closed tightly now.

F off, white Maura. We’ve seen worse. Go put your body in the streets if you really believe white citizens are in any danger.

I definitely intend to. Everyone will be affected by this fascist regime. Everyone. We will all have to fight. Your ideas are very contradictory. Are you for or against fascism?

Stop idolizing Newsom. Support his trolling now without declaring loyalty to his presidential run right now. You can’t.

You think we are going to have open elections from now on? Grow up. Naïveté can be dangerous.

Lara Lakshmi's avatar

Oh right. Let’s predict there will be no elections, so that we can safely do nothing now and also shut down conversations where we’re feeling cornered.

SAY you support Newsom’s trolling without falling in love and demanding he be your forever president. Y’all are so transparent.
