California Governor Gavin Newsom is using social media to attack Donald Trump, mimicking Trump's style in an attempt to gain political advantage. This strategy, reminiscent of the "resistance" era of 2017, involves humorous attacks and parodies. However, the author questions the effectiveness of this approach, arguing that it reinforces Trump's dominance and prevents Democrats from establishing their own distinct identity. While acknowledging Newsom's redistricting plan as a necessary response, the author believes a more original and relatable approach is needed for the Democrats to regain credibility.
