If you think there is a bottom to Trump, you would be mistaken.
“After a WH meetIng with disability advocates,Trump told his nephew, whose son is disabled, “maybe those kinds of people should die” given “the shape they’re in, all the expenses.” Then later, asked to chip in for the son’s care: “He doesn’t recognize you. Maybe just let him die.”
You seem to think that toughness necessarily needs to come with Trumpism-like idiocy, immaturity, etc. Look at Harris' remarks yesterday about her being a prosecutor and Trump being a criminal. Quite tough, no doubt. But no Trumper idiocy or nicknames in them.
....and didn't accuse Vance of being a DEI pick !!
One can be tough AND take a relatively high road. Perhaps you can't relate.
I agree high road and limited name calling. What I am referring to is applying more pressure on the institutions to confront corrupt acts and confront lies directly to their faces. Ds are too passive. You don't want to play into their petty games but you can't pretend these people aren't a straight up fkn danger.
Someone nearly shot him in the head less than two weeks ago and it's back page news already.
His big VP pick is now being called "JV Dunce" and has already blundered his way through a few sad performances. He adds nothing to the ticket and there's already a whisper campaign that he was a bad pick. He's attacking women which won't help.
Biden played 4D chess by waiting until after the RNC to drop. Harris appears to be poised to make large gains among young voters, plus women are flocking to her. The unease and despair of being forced to pick from two (nearly) octogenarians has been replaced by excitement over the Harris campaign. She will crush it among suburban women.
If they can add Kelly to the ticket, they get a rockstar fighter pilot and astronaut, plus someone who can help deliver Arizona. All good news.
Meanwhile the Trump train is idling on a siding somewhere in West Virginia making zero progress.
You're all over the place, nearly nonsensical. Right-thinking America does NOT need to be a mirror image of Trumpism to defeat Trumpism. Indeed, one could easily argue that doing that could HURT the chances of defeating it.
I used to think this way, but the reality is trumpism has sunk the bar to subterranean levels and the political game has changed. It won't be going back to civil mudslinging any time soon and people get tired of hearing about the criminal in politics while watching nothing being done. Ds don't seem to urgently want to bury him nor can they implement policies effectively because they lack a large enough majority. The only thing they can really deliver is urgency toward ending trumpism, but they are afraid to lose moderates. Show more spine and stand up for law and order and core values.
Perhaps this is similar to the issue of the degree to which the media is to blame? And like it, I suspect, I'd come down largely on the side of, "It's the AMERICANS who are the problem!" Not so much the media, and not so much un-skilled and/or too un-aggressive D politicians. The media is stuck trying to get through to too many idiots. And D politicians and strategists are stuck trying to get through to too many idiots. That's way over 50% of the problem, I think.
That is Trumpism. Insult, deflect, and NEVER talk about the facts or the record of the man himself. The insults are childish at best, but usually outright fabrications with racist and misogynistic tones. When called for it, they say the other side is doing it (without examples) as if that makes it ok. The common factor is an underlying anger and hatred.
