No, I believe it’s a reference to Queen Marie Antoinette, Queen of France during the French Revolution. She was notorious for a life of decadence (even by monarch standards) while the French population starved.
I’m sure that’s what the reference was but this still feels “slimy” to me. It’s like when people think it’s ok to be homophobic when they’re saying how Trump loves slobbering on Putin’s cock or it’s ok to be misogynist when you’re talking about Lauren Boebert. I don’t like the Idiocracy thing where whoever is the loudest dickhead gets to be king, I think that sucks. I prefer the approach of someone like Mamdani, who carries himself with grace and really wants to help people, to Newsom’s “just like Trump except I’m a Democrat guys I promise” approach.
Fuck Gavin Newsom, he’s no friend to InI and he definitely is transphobic. He said so on those neo Nazi podcasts he loves to appear on. His legislative record proves it.
Saying that trump is slobbering on Putin’s cock is not automatically homophobic, unless you think a dude giving another dude a blowjob is inherently degrading for the blowjob-giver? The point is that trump is pleasuring Putin, and they’re both cis men, so presumably trump isn’t going to be sucking on Putin’s clit… Would you rather people say Trump is rimming Putin’s asshole, as that is less specific to what genetals people have?
My read on Newsom is that he’s meeting the American public where (he thinks) they’re at, as well as showing how trump’s “he tells it like it is” memetics are not exclusive to trump. He’s breaking their pattern-matching so they can’t immediately shut their brain off and agree as soon as they detect this style of rhetoric, hopefully forcing them to engage more with the specifics of what is being said than just the mere tone.

It’s where “let them eat cake” comes from.
This is exactly it. He’s saying that Trump is behaving like Marie Antoinette right before the French revolutionists chopped off her head.
