(12,013 posts)because resorting to this tactic now eliminates our ability to rightly decry TSF's original nastiness. All Newsom has done by this is to manage to lower the level. I prefer us having the high ground where we can declare trump to be the despicable pig for his initial posting. Why get down in the mud with trump when we can fare better by maintaining decorum?
JMO.

(38,864 posts)Turning his own words and actions into something that ridicules him. It is pushing back against a bully in a way that he can understand.

(12,013 posts)I see it as stripping away our ability to show trump as a nasty, insolent juvenile who has no business being considered as the respected leader of our country. Look at all the negative comments when he made that post. By Newsom rolling in the mud with him, it just says we're no better than he is. Shame. YMMV.

That's the attitude that got us into this fascist mess in the first place.

(4,775 posts)I don't think it's clever at all and I hope it didn't really come from Newsom's staff.
It's not creative, and the equivalent to a "and so are you." response in a childish argument.
I wonder it's source.

(35,000 posts)it was pretty damn funny! And, good on them for not letting people forget about Jan. 6, 2021, and the antics of the rude weirdo in the white costume.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
