Canada should give the Governor of the Americas an airplane

That's right Gavin Newsom should declare to be the Governor of the Americas

I don’t like him, but this is funny.
- I love the purpose that he's serving right now, but when the 2028 presidential primaries roll around I hope he gets completely creamed and then goes away forever.
  
  I agree. I also hope there’s someone to actually root for.
  
  People are saying that he is doing it to run in 2028, he is actually dating we might not have a free and fair election in 28:

  What's the purpose? Like, in a positive sense. I just see this as more liberal distraction from actual material change. Making people feel like there is a means of resistance within the current system that has become overcome by fascist.
  It gives people the false sense of "something being done". When it gives us no more progress than a new episode of South Park.
- Seems like he's the only governor that read the part about defeating fascists through humiliation. I am not a big fan of his previous policies, but he is the only person that's even slightly left of center presenting any fortitude right now.
  
  Left of center with regards to AMERICAN politics but very much center right by any other metric.
  Still enjoying what he's doing though.
- It is so immemsely stupid that this is an effective strategy for both making non Trumpers giggle, and also just troll the fuck out of ....seemingly non sentient Trump supporters...
  But then again, mockery has always been at least fairly effective against fascists, at least as a form.of rhetoric... hopefully this can at least buoy some morale to be able to translate into meaningful action.
- It's amazing how a man who I considered evil from 2020-2023 has redeemed himself with a sense of humor.
  
  He's still evil, but the Overton window has shifted to where normal people prefer literally a sack of shit over the current corrupt nazi pedophile
  
  It’s just a staffer he hired. It’s not really him.
  
  and GW Bush was once considered a dunce, now he's the Republican brain trust.
- I just find it incredibly depressing that this shit is what gets people interested in politics. It's no wonder our country is circling the drain.
  
  The average, adult American reads at a 5th to 6th grade level.
  ~15% of adult Americans are functionally illiterate, ie, read at a 1st to 2nd grade level or worse.
  This is why the Republican long game has been to destroy public educations: morons are easier to trick.
  Also, Twtitter was a mistake, way before Elon bought it.
  Ah, yes, lets reduce politcal discourse to the character limit of only slogans, and then later be surprised that everyone only reacts to clever short snippets that necessarily disinclude complexity and context.
  Twitter largely blew up as a social platform for two reasons:
  Celebrities joined, back when that was still a term that meant something, before everyone became a micro-celebrity / influencer via later short form video platforms...
  And also prominent, mostly Democrat politicians joined, and used it for political messaging.
  So, this is to a large part the Dems fault as well, they spearheaded the idea of realtime political messaging in tiny idiot snippets.
- If you trust everyone in your coalition it’s not a coalition.
  
  Is it a coalition if you can't trust them to not betray those in the coalition?

Carney has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever.
- Fuck a pig on live TV? (Sorry to bring trump into this)
  
  As long as he gives proper dues to Black Mirror and David Cameron 🤷
- I know he's not going to because he's actually playing this like an adult, but damn I wish our federal government would troll 'em just a little in the style of the Fords.
  fuck it, I'd be fine with Dougie doing it. he's not federal, so Trump can't claim it was Canada doing it, and he's got the aura for it already. c'mon Dougie, play your part for us before you go back to destroying the environment, giving handouts to your corporate buddies, and trying to waste taxpayer money on terrible traffic solutions

Future historians are going to look back on these tweets and be like 🤔🤔🤔
- There will be a missing link in the record and for the longest time they'll think Gavin Newsom actually invented this style.
  
  Or that Gavin Newsom is the alter ego of John Barron.
- I’d say it’s unlikely future historians are going to look at tweets.

Canada should make an announcement that they are building the biggest and most beautiful plane for Newsom, far better than Air Force one and probably the best plane ever. Also, Trump is not allowed on it ever.
- Call it : Arrow II

Breaking News: Canada to deliver a Concorde to Newsom in September.

I only recognize the true president of America, Juan Guiado

Someone should use AI to churn out volumes of Trump-style psycho tweets, post it everywhere. Make it obvious how stupid it is. FOX and Newsmax don't expose the more insane of Trump's social media excretions.
- You should just publish a big beautiful book of all his tweets. It is all public record so it would be legal and probably a real page turner.
- Big tech is racing to implement the surveillance state because they know how much power it gives the people. The anti-AI movement on the left is a technocrat dream (or psyop).

Stick to ALL CAPS; the American mainstream can't take much subtlety.

Transphobes fuck off.
- Huh? Where is he being transphobic in this tweet?
  
  i don't think he is, but still, transphobes fuck off.
  needs to be said now and then
  
  He isnt in this post specifically, but that doesn't change the fact that Newsome is transphobic and needs to fuck off.

Do they need another CL-415? They broke the last one.
- We’re very sorey aboot that.
