After nearly a decade of being forced to take Trump seriously, Democrats increasingly call BS on the whole charade
Sure, Donald Trump is a threat to democracy — a would-be dictator on day one who has called for terminating the U.S. Constitution so he can hold onto power even after losing a free and fair election. But while draped in the rhetoric of populism, Trump and his MAGA movement are not actually popular; the man himself has never won more votes than the person he ran against, a majority of Americans twice rejecting him and his off-putting cult of personality. That he was ever president is more or less because a few thousand swing voters in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania thought it would be fun.
President Joe Biden won in 2020 largely by promising to a return to normalcy and baseline competency. In 2024, Democrats are making a similar argument but more forcibly: They’re pointing, laughing and dismissing Trump and his circus as a total freak show to which we can’t return.
I don’t know if Republicans hate it as much as we just love it.
I tested it on the chuds in my fantasy football chat, and they lost their minds. It works.
Keep up the good work
I wonder why? I don’t think Kamala supporters would freak out if you called her “weird”.
Because fundamentally right wingers a build their identity around the idea that they are normal.
Progressives? We’re generally pretty OK with being weird. Being different. Being unusual. But right wingers are pathologically obsessed with the idea of being normal. The idea of being weird scares then more than anything else.
They absolutely baller move right now would be to STOP saying it.
Let it sit there and don’t say it again. Move on to something else for a bit.
Let them get all frothed about it but never refer to it again.
Otherwise they’re going to regroup and have a response… stopping now means they waste their energy
Lol, found trumps account.
Haha… oh man. You MONSTER …
Nah
