Gavin Newsom Trolls Trump With ‘PATRIOT’ Merch Shop – Where $100 Signed Bibles Are ‘Sold Out’
Gavin Newsom Trolls Trump With ‘PATRIOT’ Merch Shop – Where $100 Signed Bibles Are ‘Sold Out’
The absolute nothing coming out of the Democrats in power is so deafening that even such a troll from such an imperfect candidate feels like the straw at which we must grab.
You bet a boatload of people are waiting for Newsom to get away with it to start resisting themselves.
I sense that Newsom's trolling sends the message that Trump's not anyone special. The felon's only unique ability is to lie and boast without a single ounce of humility.
When he puts out this stuff sarcastically, it immediately makes all of Trump's antics almost identically as corny as Newsom's satirical versions.
lol, the testimonial in the product description.
Keep the trollin' rollin', man!
He’s throwing things out there to see what gains traction. The “real patriot” red hats are great, but likely too much of a threat to personal well-being to be worn.
All Democrats should jump on board.
Everyone on all social media should just continually post "Wheres the Epstein files"
We are now cheering on two trolls who both represent billionaire interests instead of electing people who will solve problems.
He’s giving huge cover for Mamdani. MAGA is too busy with Newsom.
This is cope unfortunately
The DNC does not like Mamdami and are trying just as hard to get rid of him.
MAGA isn't Mamdami's problem. MAGA isn't going to win a NYC election. But oligarchs paying the best ad people and manipulators and using outright lies through dark money PACs to pretend the best way to oppose MAGA is "reasonable" centrism have the resources and savvy to make things hard. And establishment Democrats being unable to decide between the party nominee and a disgraced governor courting Trump isn't helping.
Newsom is capable of stunts, but what's he actually doing that helps anyone but corporations?
I'm sick of this shit. The Democrats are moving further to the right, that literally think acting like Trump will win over the Republican and Maga crowd. Again they rather cort them then give an inch to leftist causes. Fuck the Democratic Party.
Uh huh 🙄
He's trolling, he's not trying to win over MAGAts. I'll take this over a bunch of hand wringing.
I sure am happy that a Democrat can be a petulant child on the internet, too. This is the helpful political discourse we all need.
I genuinely believe if a dozen other people trolled Trump this hard he would have a stress induced stroke or heart attack.
We definitely need more of this to move the needle in that direction.
This is a theory that needs to be tested.
I think the most damaging thing someone could tell Trump is that nobody he's surrounded himself with actually thinks he's smart, successful, or charismatic. That they're lying through their teeth when they say all these great things about him. That they all mock him behind his back, that they think he's stupid and they're all looking to use him for their own ends.
We know his narcissism, we know he hangs on the words of the last person he talked to, and best of all, all that is probably far more true than it is false.
He'd be deranged beyond measure, like that methed-up moustache man in Berlin towards the end.
I think it’s more likely he has a pacemaker with a defibrillator. Stroke is still on the table.
He’s calling attention to the fact that people are normalizing Trump’s behavior. I’m ok with that.
Also, look at his Bsky feed. Those posts are clearly from a sane person.
Newsom doing BlueMAGA and Dems eating it up is out there with those "I'm a Palestinian. I'm worried I might not survive the night. Please vote for Kamala Harris in 2024" shitposts I saw at the height of the Gaza Genocide.
Just really ghoulish, slimy stuff. I don't think I've ever been this pessimistic about the fate of the country. It's like a corn field during locust season.
He's not pretending to be like trump to piss of trump, he is like trump.
Six months ago he was on his knees for Alex Jones and Charlie Kirk talking about how Dems need to act like Maga to win elections.
Everyone thinks he's doing 4d chess, but they forget for decades trump was a neo liberal and chumming with a whole bunch of Dems with a D by their name.
Newsom just took his mask off, it's not a joke, it's not satire.
Absolutely wild to spend your time screaming "both parties are the same" while one of them is actively dismantling literally everything that supports the country
💯
If Newsom is running for 2028, I'm absolutely voting against him in the Primary. And if he wins, I'm absolutely voting for him over these totalitarian, anti-American, fascists.
Absolutely wild to spend your time screaming “both parties are the same”

Genuinely can't tell what party Slotkin is a member of after reading her latest campaign remarks.
She could be a NeverTrump Liz Cheney type or a Cuomo Democrat or a Third Way Andrew Yang independent. It's all just neoliberal mush.
So let me slaughter another sacred cow: We need to move past the talking point of “comprehensive” immigration reform. For the past 20 years, politicians in both parties have abandoned immigration deals—either because they were good but not perfect, or because they preferred to use the immigration issue as political ammo. We need big, bold change to fix a broken system —but at this point, that can be in one bill, or spread across five. I will work with any adults I can find who are actually interested in making some kind of progress on immigration.
What do you do with "both sides" rhetoric when it's coming from inside the party system? This is their words as often as ours. Even the D's and R's can't decide if they're bipartisan buddies or purity trolls.
Go look at his Bluesky post history and Trump’s Truth post history. They are not the same.
I don't think you are completely wrong, Newsom is a bit corrupt in how he allowed PG&E utilities company to increase rates and profits as a monopoly across California.
You failed the perception check
The X comments - particularly the absolute deluge of maga folks completely missing the joke and accusing him of ripping off Trump's merchandise - is absolutely the best part of this whole thing.
If that group had any capacity for introspection we wouldnt be here.
MAGA isn't bringing their finest.
