Gavin Newsom is parodying Donald Trump online—and the reaction from Trump’s supporters is proof that Newson is on to something, @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues. https://theatln.tc/KweBff6O

Gavin Newsome (Gov of California) is smiling with the following text: MAGA WORLD IS SO CLOSE TO GETTING IT Gavin Newsom's parodies are riling people up— and they don't quite seem to understand why. BY TOM NICHOLS I suspect

Besides pointing out the absurdity of Dear Leaders post, he also becomes an attention parasite, which in some ways drives MAGA even crazier. Trump post now equal Trump/Newsom post.

Satire against Trump is brilliant. Both Newsom and Trump know they are BSing. Trump thought he was brilliant for doing it. But Newsom is the brilliant one for using Trump’s style against him.
