For years, Donald Trump has leaned on all-caps social media posts to grab attention online.
His Truth Social feed often reads like a never-ending shouting match. However, that changed after Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) began mocking the president’s style in dozens of posts interspersed among his regular missives.
This has been going on for the better part of a week, and seems to have gotten to Trump’s ego, as his latest Truth Social posts aren’t in his classic all-caps style.
I know it’s gonna sound like beating a dead horse but this is what the democrats should have been doing since 2016. We all know how thin skinned and stupid trump and the GOP are and that they will always fall for meme and troll posts. Idk if it will help but this needs to be adopted by everyone who thinks they have a chance of winning against this republican regime.
I kinda thought they should have prosecuted Trump and his known associates for their litany of criminal actions.
But I guess making fun of them online from the office of the largest and most influential state in the country is also cool.
Fwiw i agree, however also: why not both?
Im a little tired of the high horse shit, and see the democrats as enablers of facism (doesn’t matter if it’s intentional or not really, the result is the same)
Can’t hurt. But one’s treating the symptom and the other is treating the disease.
Wasn’t he impeached him twice but the Senate didn’t convict? How else should prosecution have been done?
I’m a non-USian, so I’m genuinely curious what the actions you feel should have been taken instead.
He should have been cuffed and arrested as he stepped out of the Whitehouse when his first term ended. Instead Biden called him a legitimate threat to democracy while doing absolutely jack shit to protect his citizens from said threat. And guess what? HE TURNED OUT TO BE A LEGITIMATE THREAT TO OUR MOTHERFUCKING DEMOCRACY. WHO COULD HAVE GUESSED.
Merrick Garland’s DOJ had four full years to build a case and prosecute it. Instead, he let Alvin Bragg do all the heavy lifting from the NYC DA’s office, in a case that couldn’t even wrap up before the election was over.
There are people in Guantanamo Bay who have been imprisoned for over twenty years without a trial. People who have been cooling their heels through five different Presidential Administrations. If Joe Biden had seriously wanted to flex the muscles of the police state, if he truly believed Donald Trump was an existential threat operating on behalf of a foreign power on par with Muhammad Rahim or Khalid Sheikh Mohammed or Ali Hamza Ahmad Suliman al-Bahlul, he’d have been tried in a military court for treasonous acts in cooperation with a hostile military power.
I got over eight fucking years of people saying he was in league with everyone from the FSB to the Italian Mafia and they all had a Steele Dossier full of evidence to prove it. That’s before you even get on the Epstein stuff (and Epstein’s ties to Mossad, which we all know Biden wasn’t going to touch).
The least you could do was nail him the way we did Martha fucking Stewart and lock him up on insider trading while in office.
The sky was the fucking limit with this guy. He stunk to high heaven with the sheer volume of crimes. High Treason, Espionage Act, any number of white collar crimes, take your fucking pick. The FEC took Sam Bankman-Fried from free man to locked up inside nine months. Don’t tell me that same agency couldn’t have had Trump as quickly.
By the criminal justice system. For his actual crimes. Congress need not be involved. Alternatively, Biden could have "Whatever the president does is legal as long as it’s an official act"ed him.
Non zero chance you are controlled opposition by choice or being led like a reactionary
Same. I’d rather have the felon in jail than someone sending mean tweets.
They tried that with the “weird” thing until they abandoned it in favor of their usual tactic of attempting to defeat an army of shit-smeared fascist memelords by appealing to suburban wine moms who think Jimmy Fallon clips are bleeding edge humor.
They should have stuck with it. It drove conservative fucking batshit when they couldn’t frame themselves as the “normal” ones.
They would’ve lost either way. People were blaming democrats for covid-related inflation and ignored any positive thing biden admin might have done.
If Biden had done any-fucking-thing we wouldn’t be here. That’s what happens when you reap what the neoliberals sow.
What do you mean? He wrote a strongly worded letter! /s
Reverse psychology…tell them the dems are trying to make it illegal to allow states single payer healthcare? Can we start there.
Why don’t the Dems get together and do a single payer health program agreement that all blue states can opt into and tell them that the red states need not apply?
That could be regarded as a form of Interstate Compact, and Interstate Compacts requires congressional approval (and probably subject to presidential veto), and it can get challenged in courts and we know what the supreme court composition looks like right now. And we don’t know if congress can revoke a previously authorized compact, maybe the supreme court just make a ruling that allows permission to be revoked by the next congress.
Please enlighten me: what has Gruesome Newsome accomplished with regards to actual policy and legislation by adopting the same trolling methods of the far right?
He’s just pushing the Overton window further into insanity territory. You realize if everyone adopts gerrymandering it essentially just erodes another aspect of our representative democracy?
Fuck neoliberals. I didn’t vote for Kamala and I’m sure as hell not voting for Gavin “let’s have a chat with Nazis on my podcast” Newsome.
Wow, nobody has a response to this. Hilarious.
