What Newsom is doing is not new. Trying to act more like a Republican is the go-to Democrat strategy since the 70s.

It would be funny if I didn't know Newsom was copying Trump's policy ideals before he took on the persona.

... you got it wrong. He is mocking trump not trying to act like him. Thats why he needs to escalate because people like you just dont get it and wont get it until Newsom is in full orange face screaming "the moon people are going to nuke us unless we use their proper pronouns, bleg/blerg."

Democrats complain that Democrat politicians are too meek and not aggressive enough.

Only until politicians respond, the Democrats attack them for "being Republican".
