    Man, it’s hard to figure out what’s more pathetic: their complete inability to process satire of the fact that they lost their shit this hard over a minimalist logo.

      The minimalist logo, it’s beyond stupid on a baseline. Don’t get me wrong it looks kinda shit and I would’ve gone for the retro old West type face they originally had but still, throwing that level of piss fit over a damned logo is… Pathetic.

    Yeah, I smile every time a Republican gets trolled by Newsom.

    Honestly, a small chunk of the DNC should just be dedicated to keeping Republicans enthralled (with Newsom leading that subteam) while the rest of the Democrats do proper work organizing country wide for 2026.

      He is trolling Trump and his supporters by tweeting like trump. Cracker barrel is a chain that caters to more senior citizens. it has a very old school, very iconic logo that defied all trends in design for the last 50 years. They tried to change it, got a huge backlash, so they cancelled the change, Trump obviously claimed this as a personal victory, so Newsom did the same, and some people apparently can’t detect trolling.

        I just don’t know enough about American politicians to be able to tell that it’s a joke. With the stuff we see coming out of that country, it’s not unreasonable to think that was a serious tweet.

          Totally right. The subtlety here is that the source of the nonsense tweets this way. This particular account is mocking them by imitating. The hilarious part (at least for me and OP) is that the mockery went right over their heads.

      Gavin Newsom is trolling trump by saying and typing things just like trump. In this particular one, he took credit for something he knows wasn’t him. A MAGA dude thought he meant it and called Newsom stupid. Newsom is saying the MAGAS are too stupid to get it. Newsom didn’t even type all caps, he’s probably tired of acting like a narcissist.

      An anti-trans wealthy right-of-center politician is duping Democrat voters into giving him attention ahead of being nominated for president.

      No, he’s not “trolling” Trump or MAGA, he’s not “pushing back”. The only thing these tweets have any impact on are Democrat voters. He’s performing for them.

        Having an attack dog in your corner is not a bad thing. He can draw attention away from real potential candidates for the Republican smear machine to focus on.

      Not american either, I think we others can care about US politics when it’s affecting the rest of the world, but we really dont have to understand or care about every shopping mall chain’s logo, even if their politicians fight about it. So please, go ahead while we’re waiting for results regarding Ukraine, Gaza, tariffs and that elite pedophile ring of yours.

        Doesn’t matter, it’s the same temperature. You can’t convert temperature to IQ.

        Also, the SI unit would be K

          The joke was that their IQ is the same number as room temperature.

          • Fahrenheit- 70-ish. Low-average IQ
          • Centigrade- 20-ish. This would be the lowest IQ ever recorded on someone able to take the test. A result this low would bring into question the ethics of having administered the test in the first place.
          • Kelvin- 300-ish. Either the smartest person in the entire world or took the test multiple times and added up all their scores.

          I really appreciate you trying to keep me from falling into the trappings of “pound of feathers or pound of steel,” but I wanna make sure you’re in on the joke that I’m essentially asking “are you calling them normal stupid or the dumbest person ever.”

          Either way, IQ tests are inherently biased and don’t directly measure intelligence, so the whole thing is moot, but for the chuckle.

    Gavin Newsom is a PoS just like Donny. American democrats will do anything aside from fight against Trump’s fascist regime.

    All they can muster is some tweets.
