The funniest thing about the Newsom stuff is, I don’t think a lot of these MAGAs realize he’s making fun of them and of Trump. They seem to think he’s “copying” Trump or something. Total lack of awareness of satire.

It is hard for some to see the plain ugly truth staring back at them when they look in a mirror. I think it's fuckin hilarious watching the Fox mouth pieces clutching their pearls in disgust at what Newsom is doing.

Shrugging and saying Newsom can't emulate him or isn't as tough is pretty much the thing that will deflate what he's doing. That means they won't have to admit he's insane. They may be doing it purposefully.

Humor is a well-known & studied divide between political affiliations. Liberals tend to grasp more complex nuance than conservatives. This includes satire. Conservative thinkers generally have difficulty with satire that is not aggressive or one-dimensional. So yes, this lack of awareness tracks.

they literally don't have a concept of humor. look at conservative "comedy". there's no punchline, no subversion of expectations. their idea of "comedy" is just saying things normal people don't like, such as racist statements. not even jokes, just statements.
