I saw this earlier & was struck by his personality. Not bad to look at, either.

...as he tries to come off as an authoritarian Strongman like Putin, or Kim Jung Un, we need to make fun of him even more. Not in a way that normalizes or humanizes him, but in a way that
mocks him, like Newsom is doing. The monstrosity of what he is doing is disgusting from an historical perspective, so it must be met with all of the tools that combat what wannabe tyrants have employed since the beginning of time (he is not novel-he is just following a well-worn playbook-we just never thought we would see it used in the United States).

We've had some great presidents and some we'd rather not remember, but nothing like this ever before in 249 years. And he's NOT a Republican, insults what's still called "the party of Lincoln," that switch happened decades ago, but nothing like this. He's even the opposite of the party of Reagan, who supported immigration, was extremely tough on Gorbachev's Russia ("Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!) and signed on to promote President Clinton's 1994 Assault Weapons ban with the other living former presidents, Carter and Ford.

We've never had a convicted felon for a president before, especially one who tried to overthrow the results of a legitimate election. And, most of all, we've never had a president who was working against the American people.
