So this is how the world ends, not with a bang, but with Nancy Pelosi's nephew-in-law. (Did you guys know that Gavin is Pelosi's nephew-in-law? I just learned that today.

This is gonna be one of those things where half the libs think this is just an ironic joke to make fun of Trump and the MAGA mindset, and the other half sincerely believe turning Newsom into Blue MAGA is what will win in 2028.

A couple days ago I saw an AI generated slop post on an image sharing site that was a truck absolutely COATED in pro Newsom stuff; bumper stickers, flags, the works

A lot of libs were talking about how it'd 'wake conservatives up' and was such an obvious mockery (you know, like the last few decades), but most of the rest were fully on board with it

It's about to be an extremely funny time

I know accelerationism is wrong, but y'all, it's sips tea time

They really are going with the all caps Trump imitation gimmick. Maybe they're just priming the people to accept that Gruesome Newsom has the same opinions on trans people as Trump.

Commodus, but as farce

[–] KurtVonnegut@hexbear.net 24 points 8 months ago (2 children)

From Wikipedia:

Commodus was assassinated by the wrestler Narcissus in 192, ending the Nerva–Antonine dynasty. He was succeeded by Pertinax, the first claimant in the tumultuous Year of the Five Emperors.

So that means that, if history repeats itself, President Newsom will challenge Jake Paul to a fight and die in the ring, followed by a rapid succession of short-lived administrations. Sounds entertaining lathe-of-heaven

Oh my god, is that…

It's NARCISSUS! Narcissus with a STEEL CHAIR!

FROM THE TOP ROPE!

On a one hand, it would be as a farce, so instead of assassination we would probably had at best one of those impotent impeachments.

On the other, USA is basically constant Pertinax->Didius Julianus (or more accurately Didius->Didius->Didius at nauseam) power transmission via money, but not much palace coups out there.

This is going crash and backfire so fucking hard. lmao. Yeah this is definitely the route you want to take the democrats if you want win, you fucking out of touch losers. Nothing learnt except didnt meme enough.

At least 80+% of the people in that AI slop painting would insist Fredrick Douglass, Harriet Tubman(?), and whoever that guy in the back is be removed from the room before posing for a picture.

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Or worse. Like if Washington found out who Tubman was, he'd immediately want her executed.

One of George Washington's slaves ran away from him, while he was President. The slave, named Oney Judge, ran away because after a lifetime of faithful service to the Washington family, she was informed that she was going to be given away as a wedding present to one of Martha Washington's nieces. After Oney escaped, George Washington sent a bounty hunter to hunt her, but she was able to evade him, living as a free woman in New Hampshire.

Look, I know the war on drugs is just one of imperialism's many stalking horses, but whatever the substance is that caused someone to have a computer make a picture of - this is a guess - Frederick Douglass standing in the same room as Ronald Reagan and supporting an empty suit that personally robs the homeless of their meager belongings needs to be secured with the stringency otherwise reserved for the last remaining smallpox virus samples.

Dems might as well get someone to wear a clown getup for the next presidential election.

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 12 points 8 months ago

I thought the second picture was Mitt Romney or something.

[–] footfaults@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 8 months ago

All of this reminds me of the Bush v Kerry campaign, where Democrats thought running a war veteran and saying actually Bush is a fake war hero, ours is better and will do a better job managing our foreign invasions, was going to be successful.

Democrats think they can trick voters every election, that they don't see right though it.

The Great Liberal Darling Ronald Reagan has blessed the Gruesome.

He's going to fall so fucking hard on his face. This is going to be hilarious.
