Gavin Newsom is not imitating Trump. He is mocking him. He is holding up a mirror to what Trump does and how blind his supporters are to reality. From the 3 hour North Korean style cabinet meetings to all caps nonsense tweets. It’s all worthy of mockery.

It keeps going: they're both ecological disasters. They're costing us tons of money. They both have deeply-ingrained bigotry they spew out randomly. Sometimes they make zero fucking sense and just ipsum lorem a bunch of mouthshart. They're breaking everything. They have cults forming around them.

Parallels between Trump and AI are endless. Both overpromise, underdeliver. They put people out of jobs. They lie and steal constantly. They think they know way more than they do. Both backed by techbro billionaires. Neither are any fucking good at their job. And everywhere you turn, there they are.
