Jeff Tiedrich - Gavin Newsom has broken every Republican's brain

Gavin Newsom and his social media team are humiliating the living shit out of Republicans right now — and Republicans have no one to blame but themselves.

‘don’t feed the troll.’

it’s the first thing most of us learn on the internet. if someone is deliberately trying to wind you up, just to provoke response, don’t engage. don’t give them the pleasure of a reply. it’s what they want. it’s how they win. just walk away.

and for fuck’s sake, don’t ever feed the troll when the troll is so much better at internetting than you are.

... rather than "Gov. Newsom" himself. The presumption is that his press office is posting smack-talk under his direction. But in case it backfires, he has an out by saying that he didn't know what they were going to post, or whatever.

It's the opposite of Chump, who probably has 5 or 6 different staffers posting stuff in his name, around the clock.
