Also, Ben Shapiro has an organic audience regardless of funding. Olivia Julianna does not. The point is that they're trying to give the impression that there's an enthusiasm for Newsom that doesn't exist outside of paid influencers and Bluesky blue MAGA scolds like you.
I understand your point about there being a highly fertilized grass roots message building around Newsom. I’ve always held the feeling that he follows the barometer of whatever-is-best-for-Gavin. Do I think others who aren’t “blue maga” are expressing the same enthusiasm as liberal bubbles? No.
Maga will have to implode from within before any single candidate of actual substance is able to permeate each of our neighbors’ unique algo-ecosystems. Besides, this entire Newsom project right now is essentially yet another DNC realtime A/B testing program. Am I wrong?
