gAvin Newsom’s recent mockery of Donald Trump proves that imitation is not always the most sincere form of flattery. Newsom’s perfect post about Trump’s “In an ongoing struggle with Congress’ redistributionLittle hand“and California’s”Perfect map“It has been fun, at least with one measure, success – the post has won millions of views and counting.
While it is refreshing to see a famous Democrat stand without hesitation in the current administration, Newsom’s jab is also strengthened Fanatic and incoherent styles. They reveal to what extent the attention economy destroys our attention and lowers our language.
Trump continues to benefit from a social media-driven steady decline in U.S. attention range. His short, powerful, inflammatory language style – and his strategy Flooded area With the new Federal Freak show day in and day out – designed in this chaotic environment. However, some recent online wins seem to suggest that progressives can win on this battlefield, too, if they deploy the right combination of blasphemy style and policy material.
Without the age of concurrent smartphones, the Trump era may never have been unveiled. A survey found Americans Check their phone number A surprising 144 times a day, about 40% of adults reported being “Almost constantly online“. As a result, Americans have fewer readings. In 2024, less than half of adults say they will Pick up a book Over the past year, a consistent downward trend has continued.
MSNBC reporter Chris Hayes This return is analyzed in his book Siren: Focus on Becoming the Most Endangered Resource in the World (stories that millions of Americans can benefit from understanding, as long as they are still reading). He believes that the ruthless competition for attention erodes thoughtful words while inspiring the most unconscious voices.

As Hayes wroteTrump’s political approach over the past decade has been “the equivalent of naked neighborhoods: repellent but trans around”.
Now, not only does Trump benefit from it, but he is also interested in accelerating these reversals. He has Refund and Harassment Leading research university, Reviewed historical exhibitions In the museum, creating truth social – imitating Twitter has become a playground Conspiracy theorist.
He is trying to equate the government with a pneumonia.
These setbacks have led progressives to increasingly understand that electoral victory requires digital advantage. Being aligned with Trump on social media seems to be a prerequisite for rallying the public around any political vision. As a strategist explain In praising Newsom’s Trump imitation: “Democrats become ‘good guys’ party.”

Still, conversations require a walk by implementing bold, authentic plans for progress. One of Newsom’s Ace Miracle Posts Announce Actively re-dividing plans Republicans against Texas. Bernie Sanders Recognize this movejust like him Recognize Mamdanitheir affordability agenda represents another ambitious position that matches Pugilistic rhetoric.
Otherwise, the philosophy of insisting on “when they go lower, we get very high risk” fails to meet with voters. It seems that Americans seek fighter jets on their behalf and their side.
