Gavin Newsom's people (or someone else) came up with another epic troll

1. yawn

I would rather see TSF being forced to eat his own poop. By all the people in CA.

2. I love it!

3. Okay, we're even now. Let's tweak the bar a little higher, now.

[Totally Tunsie]

4. Eh...I find this disappointing

because resorting to this tactic now eliminates our ability to rightly decry TSF's original nastiness. All Newsom has done by this is to manage to lower the level. I prefer us having the high ground where we can declare trump to be the despicable pig for his initial posting. Why get down in the mud with trump when we can fare better by maintaining decorum?

JMO.

5. I don't see it that way. I see it as a continuation of the strategy of

Turning his own words and actions into something that ridicules him. It is pushing back against a bully in a way that he can understand.

7. We'll have to disagree on this.

I see it as stripping away our ability to show trump as a nasty, insolent juvenile who has no business being considered as the respected leader of our country. Look at all the negative comments when he made that post. By Newsom rolling in the mud with him, it just says we're no better than he is. Shame. YMMV.

8. Yes, we disagree. Nt

16. I perceive it accurately illustrating "trump as a nasty, insolent juvenile who has no business being considered..."

Holding a mirror reflects those who it's pointed at, not neccesarily the one who holds it.

6. lol

[moonbeam23]

9. NO OFFENSE

to you personally...but

FUCK DECORUM!!

That's the attitude that got us into this fascist mess in the first place.

10. It's not a verified source. It is disingenuous to present it that way.

This is what the DU TRASH is for. And also Block and Ignore. Thanks to the DU Founders for their foresight into our current Age of Propaganda.

🚮 problem solved.

11. I don't know if you have noticed

but having the high ground HAS GOTTEN US NOWHERE

[W_HAMILTON]

18. Except we haven't fared better maintaining decorum.

[malaise]

12. Love it

Shit on the failed coup goons

[Champp]

13. Bwaaaaa

[Mossfern]

14. Disappointing

I don't think it's clever at all and I hope it didn't really come from Newsom's staff.

It's not creative, and the equivalent to a "and so are you." response in a childish argument.
I wonder it's source.

[GoCubsGo]

15. I wouldn't call it "epic," but

it was pretty damn funny! And, good on them for not letting people forget about Jan. 6, 2021, and the antics of the rude weirdo in the white costume.

[Amaryllis]

17. Nothing there.

[Wednesdays]

19. "Thread not available."

Maybe I should be glad of that.
