In case anyone hasn't noticed, establishment Democrats are terrified right now. They created the Leopards Eating Faces Party with the DSA and are suddenly wondering why the leopards are looking hungrily at their mugs while licking their jowls.
With the extremely rare exception of Sen. John Fetterman, almost no other elected Democrats will speak out against the communists in the DSA. Chuck Schumer abased himself in front of Abdul El-Sayed only to have El-Sayed support MS-13 supporter Chris Van Hollen for Majority Leader should the Democrats win the Senate. Hakeem Jeffries found out firsthand how much the DSA hates him, even after he cheered for Zohran Mamdani and his slate of leftist lunatics. Even AOC might not be far-left enough for the DSA, recently walking back many of her extreme statements in the past, like 'defund the police.'
The only Democrats who seem to be willing to take on the DSA are those not standing for office, like James Carville, Bill Maher, and Andrew Cuomo.
So, it will come as no surprise that Gavin Newsom, who has never met a political principle that he could not change on a whim, depending on which way the leftist winds are blowing, recently tried to give himself a new label.
No, leopards. Newsom is not an establishment Democrat. He's an 'established insurgent.'
Watch:
As DSA influence in his party grows, Gavin Newsom has come up with a new brand:

"Established insurgent."
"I've always had that mindset."
He doesn't actually believe anything, so it's just a never-ending, desperate effort to chase relevancy for 2028. pic.twitter.com/OjmoX3ZHfa

Ha.
Hahaha.
BAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Yep, that's sure to throw the ravenous beasts off the scent of his presidential aspirations!
"Well-Groomed Psychopath"

The leftists' mental palate is so jaded that only the spiciest sweet and sour concoctions can delight it. https://t.co/lGr335FTHj pic.twitter.com/l3jtPrn7FY
'Well-groomed psychopath' fits Newsom so much better than 'established insurgent.'
After all, he did compare himself to Patrick Bateman from American Psycho.
"Established insurgent" really deserves an award for Outstanding Example of Newsspeak. https://t.co/fkmsh0lwco

We like that. We can call the awards ceremony 'The Orwellies.'
All of Hollywood is sure to attend.
Newsom should just identify as

Vagin Newsom and run as a woman. Liberals would eat that up! 😂
He could even try out for the WNBA ... if he weren't such a horrible basketball player.
Watching him constantly flounder around to sound in tune with the political flavor of the month is really something
— Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) August 10, 2026
We've seen fish caught and landed in a boat that didn't frantically and desperately flop around as much as Newsom does.
Emotional Buzz Words.

We're just waiting for Newsom to call himself 'an Islamist Christian.'
And don't think he won't try it.
It was just an excuse for him to use his awkward thumb gestures. 🤣
— Kevin M. Nelson (@KevinMNelsonUSA) August 10, 2026
His hand and finger gestures are SO creepy.
Gavin's mindset is figure out how to look cool while the DSA eats him for breakfast.

We need that Steven Buscemi meme, except with Newsom's face, saying 'How do you do, fellow insurgents?'
Newsom calling himself an “established insurgent” is the most on‑brand move yet — a governor who shifts labels every election cycle because none of them stick. With DSA energy rising around him, he’s scrambling for a 2028 identity like it’s a costume change. https://t.co/3rwhi6HIgH

It's no wonder so many people on social media believe he's a lizard person in disguise.
Gavin is so obviously lizard-like, I don't think his reptile image works outside of his home state.
— Tim Hurlocker (@AdamSmithEcho) August 10, 2026
LOL. See what we mean?
Oxymoron alert, red level
— Ben Salomon (@SalomonBenDMD) August 10, 2026
Hey, this is Governor Newsom we're talking about.
The 'oxy-' prefix is entirely unnecessary.
It is truly a sight to behold watching the guy who wants to be president more than anything in the world for his own ego flame out like this. https://t.co/AqWJJguCNX

Newsom probably never had a chance at the Democrat nomination in 2028 anyway, seeing as how he is a straight white man — not to mention one of the worst governors in modern political history.
But if the party continues on its current trajectory, depending on how DSA candidates like El-Sayed do in the midterms this fall, he is truly finished in national politics. He just doesn't know it yet.
Calling himself an 'established insurgent' will help his survival about as much as it helps that fish flopping around in the boat.
Especially when the boat is full of hungry leopards.
