The original idea was a food deck that actually uses food for its intended purpose.

Funny enough, it also makes me think of the boomer perception of millennials (like myself): Driving my opponents insane (via mill) by doing nothing but twiddling with gadgets and eating tons of food.

I use this in my Hope Estheim food mill deck - mostly to confused reactions from my opponents. Even people who played wilds limited have never seen this card.

I mean I consider it a win that Newsom spends his time meming on 🍊 and getting eyes on the Dems rather than using that time to push more neo-liberal bullshit agendas.

Lol a rodeo? The fuck is that supposed to mean?

Yes I agree with your points. But I still fail to see how a Newsom meme account making fun of 🍊's nonsense all caps post style somehow promotes fascism.

If its because the 🍊's post style now = fascism - then that's just funny and kind of a win.

Cool story. I totally agree.

What is this thread doing to promote that goal?

Do you think that arguing with bsky commenters about semantics and the validity of a dumb politician meming on a fascist president is promoting that goal in any way?

Sure, right. Once again saying Dems are not better than hostile fascism.

You know what really enables fascism? Doom saying. False equivalency. Anything that pushes people to give up.

"Real progressives" lol. What kills leftist movements isn't Newsom memes - its gatekeeping and elitism.

I mean, I get that you hate Newsom. I don't like him either. I certainly wouldn't vote for him for higher office.

Nor would many Dems. That's what I meant by saying he's a meme amongst Dems. Nobody treats him seriously.

What does this have to do with his stupid meme account trolling 🍊?

Nobody cares about the nuance differentiating "not equal" with "degrees of the same." The effect is still the same - which is telling people "why bother?"

How is Newsom promoting fascism by meming on 🍊's all caps post style? If it's because it = the language of fascism, then mission accomplished.

You said Dems never offered an alternative to the right, which is saying they're the same.

You realize Newsom is just a meme to Dems right? You take him far more seriously than any dem does.

If his meming cannibalizes left movements, they need to figure some shit out because that's embarrassing.

We've fallen into a non-sequitor and the real reason you replied to a fucking Newsome meme account shit post.

I get it. Nobody disagrees that Dems are VERY flawed. But claiming both parties are the same because the one NOT DESTROYING EVERYTHING hasn't done anything for you lately is stupid.

Sometimes messaging is about being the oppos. party, and showing absurdity, like this one.

Sometimes it advertises positive change. Newsom tries, but he's a neo-liberal. There are plenty who do better.

A party with only the former has no platform. One with only the latter are boring pushovers.

To say the Dems never offered an alternative - when the right is VERY clearly defined - admits that their messaging never grabbed you enough to pay attention.

It's not about the message. It's about how they say it.

Also good political messaging fights on multiple fronts.

I mean, I love "intellectual discourse" as much as anyone, but it puts most of America to sleep.

This shit gets the normies attention. It sets 🍊 off balance. It's childish but it works.

Read George Lakoff. For decades, the Dems failed against the GOP because they did exactly what you are asking.

Friendo, have you never heard of satire?

Checkmate, we're not having children either.
