Gavin Newsom is escalating partisan attacks and media-driven stunts while signaling presidential ambitions. His office has amplified social-media offensives aimed at Donald Trump and his policies. Newsom is advocating to gerrymander California in reaction to Texas’s redistricting and has repurposed official channels for comic political messaging. His political pattern includes pursuing progressive actions in highly performative, camera-ready ways, exemplified by the 2004 San Francisco same-sex marriage moment. Critics characterize his approach as strategically nostalgic and self-promotional, combining calculated timing, theatricality, and policy moves to shape public perception and advance broader electoral goals.
If this Clickhole article is to be believed (it shouldn't be), California's governor is looking to get a job in comedy. The reality is a bit less appealing: Gavin Newsom wants to be president of the U S. His office has ramped up social media attacks on Donald Trump, his policies, and, predictably, his bugnuts tweeting. I have witnessed the rise of Gavin Newsom firsthand:
At last, the world can finally see the Gavin Newsom I have come to vehemently tolerate a man with a tendency to stumble into doing the right thing in the most annoying way possible. Newsom is the kind of politician who will seize the moment legalizing same-sex marriage in San Francisco back in 2004, most significantly as long as the moment is somewhere near a camera and an operating microphone.
In the process, he is doing the thing I hate the most: weaponizing nostalgia. Nostalgia is a powerful thing, like a rank body odor or a French cheese. Don't we all love turning back the hands of time and pretending like we still have all our hair, we can stand for more than 30 minutes of an Oasis concert and Twitter is a thing that matters to normal people? Remember 2017? That was a fun year.
