Newsom has taken the "Alpha" male crown away from Trump and it's driving MAGA crazy

[Quixote1818]

Trump has always had some strange gut feeling that the person who seems to be the "Alpha" has some sort of strange leadership advantage, especially among small brained people with pre-conventional moral reasoning. His gut feeling is not without some truth at least for half the country. Thinking back, Biden actually was pretty "Alpha" when he told Trump "Will you shut up man?". But when Biden looked old in the debate the tables turned. However, suddenly Newsom with images of him standing all muscular over Malania and other master trolling, has absolutely ripped that out of Trump's tiny hands to the point where MAGA is totally confused and feeling butt hurt and weak. This is how you fight bully's. You out "Alpha" them. It's dumb as shit and totally caveman BS but it needs to be done with someone like Trump. This shit is working and in my opinion it should continue until Trump has a heart attack and drops dead from losing his fake manhood.

1. Bingo!

All bullies run and hide when they are unexpectedly clocked in the face by someone who refuses to lay down. Newsom understands that this is the only way to fight MAGATs moving forward: with a taste of their own medicine.

[malaise]

2. THIS

but it needs to be done with someone like Trump. This shit is working

Ridicule the fool and his cheerleaders😀👍

[Irish_Dem]

3. You are totally correct.

The only way to win is to get some BDE front and center.

And also prevent the the election interference and
Cheating.

[the nelm]

4. Trump, in his wildest dreams, has never, ever been an "alpha male"...

of any sorts, though I'm sure that how he sees himself. This is the guy who's always the loudest in the room and never shuts his yap, but when it comes to doing the actual hard or dirty work gets one of his minions to do the deed.

[zorbasd]

10. Especially being born with tiny hands, which

translates to a micropenis mushroom, according to Stormy. And being so envious of Arnold Palmer's member.

[CTyankee]

33. May I just say that his remark about Palmer was so strange and came out of nowhere and it confirmed my suspicion that he

is jackshit nuts.

I'd better stop here or I'll be on a rant all afternoon and I'd like a nice lunch now...

[Escape]

5. And...NOW is the time...

for REAL media reps to start getting in Trump's face. They need to yell at him, insult him, call him a liar. They need to do their job!

Bully's are weak. They are pathetic and desperate and insecure and fake. Trump's shtick in attacking and insulting the media reps is SO predictable.

WHEN is someone gonna finally stand up to the sick motherfucker and attack him back....relentlessly! GET THE LAST WORD!!!!

Will they lose their job? Hell yes. And they will gain all the decency, fairness and reward the world has to offer..from that day on.

It's time! It's way past time!

[JustAnotherGen]

53. They won't

WE have to do this.

[Escape]

55. nobody is listening to us...

The people who are privileged enough to be in the room with the sick asshole HAVE TO SPEAK FOR US!

They are THERE...in front of him. They need to speak the truth...LOUDLY and REPEATEDLY and INCESSANTLY and BRAVELY!

Our muddled voices are an important backdrop, but THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO CAN SPEAK DIRECTLY TO HIM IN PERSON!

Our job is to support THEM when they finally quit cowering at his intimidation.

[JustAnotherGen]

56. It's not just Krasnov

The lie is bigger than that. It's their entire electorate.

This is why we have to support Governors and reps with big mouths.

They suck the air out of the room. Magapubs deflate with out attention -it's top down.

[Aristus]

6. The whole 'alpha-male' 'beta-male' thing is such a huge steaming pile

of smelly horseshit.

I’m a go-along-to-get-along kind of guy. I don’t like violence or confrontations. I cry during sentimental songs and tv shows. I oppose the death penalty, and own no guns.

But I was also a tank crewman in the Army, attaining the rank of Sergeant. I’m a Gulf War veteran, and qualified ‘Expert’ on the M-16 rifle, the Beretta 9mm pistol, and helped my tank crew shoot a superior score on live-fire qualification.

I earn a six-figure salary, have a marriage entering its twenty-seventh year, have three stepchildren and ten grandchildren.

And I’m a bleeding-heart liberal until I DIE, motherfuckers!

[Quixote1818]

8. Great post! :) nt

[padfun]

14. You sound like a Sigma male

Lone wolf. They don't lead nor follow.

[Hey Joe]

29. Any man who requires others to define what

they are in order to feel like a “man”, is pathetic .
It’s such a shame that so many men these days, young and old, feel like they need the assurance of others that they are manly in order to feel thusly.
Glad I was raised in a time when, by having values and convictions, and doing what was right by and for others, I had belief in myself .
Of course, that was way before social media.

[Ligyron]

40. Thank you for your Service.

Those darn Germans always won the tank shoot outs at Graff when I was over there. Now that was a place you didn’t mind being in the field. Beautiful country, all kinds of deer, wild boar and other critters. Picked blueberries for breakfast. Used to do the fire control for time on target artillery from way up on Bliedorn Tower, the highest point there and then run across the dirt road to watch the fireworks down in the impact area. And no bad guys were shooting back at us.

[calimary]

43. You served while Orangeman hid behind "yeah, SURE!" bone spurs.

That alone puts you WAY ahead of him (although that’s not the only thing, by far).

[democratsruletheday]

47. well said Aristus....

Newsom is breaking through and should triple down on what he's doing

[Aristus]

49. Thank you.

[somaticexperiencing]

7. you made great points and you made me laugh - that's a great thing. last image. truly sad that would make

someone (me) laugh, but laughter is laughter. it enjoys the truth. and I'm pretty sure there will be lots of relieved and even happy people that day. what a way to live. sad for him.

[KentuckyWoman]

9. Rule #1 they teach in self defense class

Be strong, loud and forceful. Make a lot of noise and be confrontational. Bullies want an easy mark. Even with non-violence, you have to stand up to them - in their face.

[NBachers]

11. At some point - tantrum trump and his mango minions will try to out-do Newsom right back at him and fail miserably.

They'll try to capture some of the Newmentum with a lame-ass and weak attempt at duplicating his success. It will be so pathetically stupid that they'll end up with shit on their faces, right where it belongs..

[ananda]

12. Right on!

A good lesson learned.

[Starbeach]

13. Spot On

He's being pummeled by Newsom. We've been waiting for this.

[LudwigPastorius]

15. "It's dumb as shit and totally caveman BS..."

You've got that right.

I don't want to live in a society where dick waving social media memes are what decides the presidential election.

[LeftInTX]

32. I know, but it sure beats other stuff.

It beats:
Crying about Trump
Reading about Trump
Worrying about Trump
Democratic infighting about Trump

It's a diversion like watching silly youtube videos.

[CTyankee]

38. You are so right! doesn't it feel good to be strongly FOR a candidate instead of constantly beating our brains out

over slobby?

[Ligyron]

41. Yeah but the Maggats like it even less.

Beating them at their own game and it’s working.

[JustAnotherGen]

54. That's the world we live in

[Xolodno]

16. When they go low, we go high.

That's what they have been counting on right from the beginning. MAGA has warped thinking, they think we are being elitist by saying that, but think they themselves are superior for hurling insults. Now we have those who are imitating them and showing them exactly for who and what they are. They are fuming. We're not supposed to be fighting like them....in thier minds. And its embarassing them.

[dlk]

17. It doesn't hurt that Newsom is over 20 years younger and better looking

It must burn.

[republianmushroom]

18. I'm enjoying this.

[summer_in_TX]

19. Turns out there's science to back that up.

Bully the Bully: The Psychology of What Gavin Newsom Is Getting Right

"Turns out, when faced with a bully, ignoring them and “taking the high road” isn’t just ineffective; it’s psychologically counterproductive."

Governor Gavin Newsom figured this out. While Democrats spent years wringing their hands about “norms” and “dignity,” Newsom did something radical: he started fighting fire with fire. He’s trolling Trump with memes, calling his officials “fascist cucks,” and posting TikToks that mock the president with Nickelback songs. The pearl-clutchers are horrified. The psychologists? They’re fascinated.

Research on bullying reveals an uncomfortable truth that contradicts decades of feel-good advice. Studies of children aged 11–12 found that those who “returned hostility with hostility appeared to be the most mature.” Boys who stood up to bullies were “judged more socially competent by their teachers,” while girls who fought back were “more popular and more admired by teachers and peers”.

The tactic is called "mirroring" – or adopting the opponent's style and pattern of communication. That disrupts their advantage, throwing them off balance.

The aggressiveness Newsom shows in pushing back feels definitely more authentic than the measured political responses more typical of Democrats. "People trust fighters more than diplomats when they feel under attack".

Newsom isn’t just trolling for attention; he’s using scientifically validated psychological principles to challenge authoritarian behavior. He’s discovered that sometimes the most effective way to protect democratic norms isn’t to model them perfectly, but to prevent their opponents from trampling them completely.

This explains so much, doesn't it? Including why Dems are sinking in the polls in spite of the authoritarian over-reach of DJT.

Aren't we craving exactly what Newsom is providing?

[dalton99a]

22. +1

[LeftInTX]

34. Our Texas Democrats need to do this. They are so much better looking than the Texas GOP!

Heck one used to be a body builder..LOL
One still is!

[LeftInTX]

35. GOP is 90% bullying, 10% messaging. We can do it!

Have a simple message and bully away!

[summer_in_TX]

57. The best is when it is mocking or pointing out hypocrisy without sliding over into mean.

But mock, rinse, repeat to your hearts' content. In fact repeating is essential (not the exact same, but the theme.) We Dems tend to not hone in on a strategy that works and keep at it.

[Nittersing]

39. Reminds me of repeating everything a sibling says, just to drive them nuts.

Same energy

[calimary]

44. "Aren't we craving exactly what Newsom is providing?" HELL YES!!!

I’ve seen enough (quite awhile ago, actually). He’s earned my vote for anything he runs for that I can vote for.

[Hornedfrog2000]

20. Its probably because

Trump is a pedophile and king of the incels.

[dalton99a]

21. Yep.

[Jack Valentino]

23. Gavin should join 'Truth Social' like President Biden did....

even though he'd probably be banned in the first 24 hours---

his social media team could make a ton of posts before that,
if they planned it out beforehand....

Diss "small hands" in his own neighborhood!

[flamingdem]

24. And he's HAWT!

I love the AI generated muscled out Gavin.

At first it turned me off then I realized what a sarcastic take on "alpha" male magamen this is.

Kudos to the creatives and to Gavin!

[et tu]

30. dis-imitation is the

highest form of dis-flattery lol

[LeftInTX]

36. I don't think Gavin is hot, (now Obama was), but this is a form of bullying.

Trump does it too with those "Trump God memes", so we can do it too. Trump doesn't look hot, but they make him look like super hero. We can do it too.

[Paladin]

25. Completely agree.

No retreat and no surrender, Gavin Newsom. Leave trump behind, groveling in the dirt.

[CanonRay]

26. Spot on

[ConstanceCee]

27. Too much hair.

[Ligyron]

42. Seriously?

He outdoes Trump’s thin ass bird nest of a combover.

His hair is looking thick, healthy and natural. Like the rest of him.

It can’t happen now, of course, but I would love to have seen a debate between Trump and Newson. Gavin would wipe the floor with him.

[Blue Owl]

28. It's so satisfying watching Donny get cucked, owned, and exposed for the fat dumb fuck he is

[Wicked Blue]

31. Our new dog is more alpha than the Orange Traitor

and if they ever met, I hope Maxie would raise his leg and pee on those bloated ankles.

[Figarosmom]

37. That would be wonderful outcome....nt

[rickford66]

45. Newsom should challenge Trump to some activities

toilet flushing for example

[MorbidButterflyTat]

46. "...it should continue

until (rump) has a heart attack and drops dead from losing his fake manhood."

Oh, please please please please please!!

[muriel_volestrangler]

48. I don't think he has "taken the Alpha male crown"; he's made them confront their delusions about Trump

I don't think there will be any MAGAs thinking "wow, Newsom is an Alpha male", because they're programmed to not like him, or even despise him; but this is making them think how ridiculous the years of "Trump is an Alpha" that they've believed are, just because of idiotic all caps tweets and stupid pictures of a buffed-up Trump.

[SSJVegeta]

50. Raw emotion is a powerful magnet

[Faux pas]

51. Boo hoo and

for all the spineless whimsy snowflakes!

[UpInArms]

52. Truth

Never let a bully win …
Kick back harder …

When they’re a 12 … be a 14

(On a scale of 1 to 10)
