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.
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.
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.
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

Yes
Not american, I get this Gavin person is governor of California, but what's going on here?
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.
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.
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.
He's made a habit of trolling rebulicans by acting like Trump.
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
It's a shame Gavin Newsom is such a dipshit, because he's actually funny.
Good news. He isn't running his own Twitter.
What do you mean?
Newsom doesn't have a truth social equivalent.
Yet.

Is this like a cracker barrel viral advertising blitz?
Gavin Newsom is a PoS just like Donny. American democrats will do anything aside from fight against Trump's fascist regime.
All they can muster is some tweets.
Just like Donny.
You’ve got to be kidding me. I grew up in California during Newsom and Harris’ rise to power.
As uninspiring as they are, this approach has highlighted Trump’s ridiculous communication style in a way that has not been challenged to date.
We can dive into actual policy if you want.
He's a transphobe that would gladly put homeless people in a woodchipper.

I'd argue the opposite: satire and humor are the best way to get people on your side and motivated.

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