OMG #charliewarzel 🤦♀️
The team behind @governor.ca.gov’s brilliant strategy in using a measure-for-measure satirical response to Trump’s absurdity, is GENIUS.
It’s supposed to be childish.

I presented at #ATTW2025 yesterday on 10 years of GG & the alt-right. I used this quote from #CharlieWarzel to introduce the importance of GG when discussing modern politics and what we're seeing in online spaces.
Disinformation on yesterday's political assassinations is already spreading.
