It’s way overdue for us dems to start standing up in the real world 💕

I honestly would rather that the Democrats take the high road, but it isn’t working because Republican have stronger voices and media presence, so I say to Newsom, go for it, because it is the only way that the world will see just what a small and pitiful man Trump really is

I agree, Kim. I don't think it's "right" or "fair" to be mean/obnoxious/EXTREMELY RUDE and degrading like The Dictator Deranged Psycho is, but something tells me we (Democrats and even some "moderate CONS") have GOT to fight him at his level to gain and have a good chance of winning in 2026 and especially in 2028. We have to get back at the Dictator head of the Gestapo for this to have a good chance of working.

The high road strategy hasn’t worked .

I don't think Republicans have stronger voices and media presence that's helping them. I think it is that they'll not hesitate to harm as many people as necessary to get what they want. They no longer have shame or feelings of remorse. They no longer care about following proper procedures, when they fabricate any lie that will get them what they want. They no longer care about the lives of others but themselves and those who will get them what they want. To use a fictional analogy, this is like "Voldemort" and his death-eaters. Power and money at all costs - even at the cost of others' lives.

I agree that power and greed are huge motivators and there is a severe lack of having any sort of good conscience

I think Governor Newsom is what the Democrats need in the fight to defeat Trump. Governor Newsom is the man and leader for the job!!!

Sure wish more would follow Newsom’s lead and start parodying every single one of the sycophants. Thanks David!

It's about time! I think Newsom is doing the absolutely right thing for right now. I don't think that this is even meant to be a winning strategy for a presidential primary campaign, but it does bring the fight to the rethuglicans and points out tRump's own communication strategy. What really amuses me is the right-wing pearl-clutching and horror at his social media posts. It's a mirror that they can't stand looking into,

It is amusing for sure!

Finally…a Democrat that can take off the gloves and street fight! That’s how it’s done. We ALL are going to have to dig deep and get off our back foot defensive stance against this Kakistocracy without a moral compass. Our power is in our numbers. There’s a vast amount of talent, expertise, resourcefulness and perseverance within our 99%. We just need to pivot and get it all going in the same direction—The People’s direction as outlined in the Constitution and Rule of Law.

Thank you, Newsom! Thank you for doing what every American should be doing. The Maga Bowers bow lower to their new God. Pathetic Authoritarian SATAN and his Demons!

He is humorous and succinct. He has every age, educational and social bracket, laughing, relaxing and enjoying his style. I think he’s a winner for jumping in and fighting a battle that has had almost all Americans at their wits end. Go, Gavin, go!!!

Just as a reminder under his leadership

💰 Middle class families in California pay LESS in taxes than in states like Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.

👷 50 million of the 52 million jobs created since the Cold War have been created in Democratic administrations. Republican presidents have one thing in common: recession.

🔴 Life expectancy, infant mortality, deaths of despair, wages and uninsured rates are all worse off in red states.

🚨 For Greg Abbott: California is the fourth largest economy in the WORLD. We contribute $83 billion to the federal government while Texas takes $71 billion.

🥇 California is #1 in manufacturing, #1 in farming, #1 in new business starts, #1 in tech and VC investments, #1 in Fortune 500 companies, and the #1 public higher education system in the country.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 California has some of the strongest gun laws in the country and as a result has a 43% lower gun death rate than the rest of the U.S. according to data from the CDC while President Trump oversaw the largest spike in homicides recorded in U.S. history.

Actions speak louder than words.

Yes we face problems and we work to solve them.

Amen to that Sylvia!

Our government’s disproportionate misuse of power and its inability to respond not only to our physical needs but also our cultural needs, has given us a spiritual lesson to gain a new level of tolerance, patience, and understanding. That said, it's time for Dems to kindly and lovingly go forth and kick DJT's regime's butt. Go Newsom!

We need more outstanding people who do not hide behind money.

That's the most cheesy, stupid video! Even though Trump seems to be brain dead (too much orange on the face?) Newsom has found the very nerve to pinch. And although one might not make it to the presidency on charisma and confrontation (how'd that work out for the Donald?), Newsom is more than just a pretty face. He has some ideas and he is very passionate about saving our democracy.
