Saying Trump is Weird is a better strategy than saying Trump will destroy democracy

He's a weirdo. Democrats screaming about Trump being Hitler and wanting to end democracy makes them look like hysterical ninnies.

Awww, are the trolls getting askeered that Trump's obvious hatred of democracy is biting him in the ass? That's a shame.

In his usual, inept, idiotic style of communicating, R5, I think what he was trying to get across was along the lines of "As long as I get my second term, I don't care if none of you vote again (after that)."

[Italic]Apres moi, le deluge[/italic] attitude

by Anonymousreply 8July 28, 2024 3:55 PM

Yes r8, but that kind of sums it up: a contempt for real democracy. For him, obviously, democracy comes down to "give me whatever the fuck I want" and beyond that it's meaningless to him. It's meaningless as a concept. And every Democrat should be very clear about that, and should start expressing that clearly. And same with Vance and his horseshit theocratic leanings.

by Anonymousreply 9July 28, 2024 3:58 PM

That isn't what he said, R8. He said they won't have to vote ever again [italic]because he will fix everything.[/italic] It was either an admission that he intends to never leave office or he will so destroy democracy that we won't have another opportunity to vote again. Beyond that, saying he's "weird" is akin to saying nothing at all, or worse, his followers have been so brainwashed they'll think "weird" is somehow a badge of honor.

Clearly, it has struck a nerve in the GQP that saying Trump will destroy democracy, calling him America's Hitler, or my personal favorite "cultural heroin," is working.

I AGREE. I am tired of both sides acting as if this is going to be the apocalypse. It's not. It's just changing of the guard something we've done for almost over 250 years. The cable news channels need to STOP. Both parties need to STOP. Is there a lot riding on this election, yes? Of course yes. There always is! But I 1000)% agree with this post because just say Trump is an idiot. That's it. Because it's turning people off from voting and the election by making it so extreme and stressful, they just turn away and "can't deal with politics." ANd we NEED THOSE PEOPLE TO VOTE SO THIS ORANGE A HOLE DOESNT GET RE-ELECTED AGAIN. More posts like this should be up. Nice job on the original post.

And yes he thinks the U.S. constitution is a piece of shit that should never guide him or any "real" president in any way. Yup, we were right, the right was wrong, and this time vote like you have a fucking clue and aren't living in some "everything is just fine" fantasy world.

I agree with OP that this is a good strategy. Saying that he is a threat to democracy (although it's true), makes a person like him feel powerful. Saying he's old and weird publicly humiliates him and makes him spiral into gibberish rage-splutter. Which makes him look even weirder. I like that we have transitioned from going high when they go low to just saying "fuck these freaks."

Vance is the weak spot.

What drives these people to vote the way they do? The right hates the left as much as they are hated by the left and they see the left as an unAmerican cancer. Exactly like they are seen.

It’s as usual the independents that tend to lean right and the independents that tend to lean left that will decide who wins.. And those from potential voting blocs that don’t normally vote or don’t vote as much.

It's because deep down, Republicans know they're weird people. That's why they cling to traditional values and religion to give them a slime coating of normalcy.

It is funny (almost) that after hurling insults at trumpers' regarding their stupidity, questioning their morals, accusing them of high treason and pro-Russian stances and pushing back on all of the lies, that what seems to be working is calling them out on their conservative, freak show strangeness.

You are taking thinga too serious R136, nobody implied that majority of blacks hate Kamala. I think that probably most of them will support her due to identity politics.

The Dems are using some of their tactics. It helps that they are doing weird shit! I woke up this morning to see a clip of JD man spread with his legs in different time zones, boxes of beer stacked up behind him, telling some bro podcast that he told his kid to shut up because he had a call from “Sir” Trump. I mean…….fucking weird. And complete bullshit. He doesn’t sit like that at home. He doesn’t speak to his kid like that. The cheap product promo with beer that he doesn’t drink. Such a phony.

I've always suspected he took the name "Barron" from the financial newspaper.

I see in the comments on social media posts for the last few days that they're (R/MAGAs) trying to co-opt it, and it's pathetic. They think they can just call something a prominent Democrat does "weird" and it will have the same power. The difference is that the things we're calling "weird" are actually weird and even much worse--as in sociopathic, perverted, or bizarrely inappropriate.

This is so true. It’s been 160 years since a war was fought in our territory. People can’t conceive of it happening here. Same with democracy. Things get out of hand? Well a good strong ruler will set things right. Some freedoms and rights might be “temporarily” put In abeyance but never the most important one, the 2nd amendment.

What the MAGAts can’t comprehend is that every proposal in Project 2025 could be implemented…round up and deport every illegal, gut the EPA and the Department of Education, ban abortions and birth control, etc …and their lives would not improve one bit.

R146 Judge Joe thinks that people raving about Obama and Kamala are coons, even if they are not aware.

Obama is a son of a white woman from a wealthy family who had a brief marriage with a Kenyan, raised by a white family. So Obama has nothing to do with American black culture and history. Which is true.

Than again Kamala, she has an Indian mother and a Jamaican father of mixed heritage. Again nothing to do with American blacks.

He ain't all that wrong.

You want to know why they put feminine hygiene product dispensers in the boys' toilets, R179? Because the girls' teams have to use the boys' locker room when they visit for sporting competitions. Because women use men's rooms all the time. Because there are boys and men who have girlfriends who have periods that start unexpectedly. And really, are you trying to say that boys can't cope with basic bodily functions, particularly around the one purpose for females that Shady JD approves?

I think I'd take the complaint more seriously if the same people bitching about tampons in the boys room weren't wearing them on their faces IN PUBLIC just a few weeks ago,

I know everyone is going to HATE this comment but I will say it anyway:

I just wish we had other parties like they do in other countries like in the UK, etc. We can't all say we love EVERYTHING about the democratic party and if you are Republican hah haha ha for sure you can't say you love the direction they are going in so I don't know what the answer is. Trump is so awful. What a mistake that's been. I do love Harris, I'm glad Biden stepped aside.

For me, they just MUST get the boarder under control. I'm not worried about dangerous criminals and all that fear mongering the Republicans try and get us at. Worried about how much homeless we already have in California and I see first hand how jobs are taken from Americans in the business I am in. I want people to have a better life, I am married to a person how took a long time and legally migrated to the U.S. We have wonderful laws for legal immigration. I just don't know why they want so many folks to flow freely into the country day in and day out. And that does not make me racist. It makes me want to follow the laws we already have. I don't know what the answer is.

Also, whoever is better for the economy - that's really important. I hope Harris can get that under control. I don't believe Republicans always have the best policies for the economy. I'm not sure going after big companies is the best idea - in this day and age they may just locate to another country (again, seen it first hand) and take their jobs and tax money with them. I wish they would figure that out somehow. I know in California, our legislature has no more checks and balances anymore and a lot of companies are packing up and leaving the state. That's --- not good for Californians. I believe in taxing people, I believe in government helping people, and I believe in the middle class. We always need a strong middle class. I also believe in not taxes small businesses too much or making it even harder for small businesses to compete -- looking at your California - every friggen year its another series of loss making it more difficult to do business in California.

Anyway, my VERY LONG WINDED POINT (sorry guys if anyway is even awaken reading my post at this point) is that.... I wish we could pick and choose the best from all different views and we can't. We're stuck with one party or the other and I don't agree with everything. LOL I just want everything. LBGTQ rights. The right to choose. The right to not be taxes insanley by the government. The right to a strong southern border where people can't just walk in. The right to help people who need our help. The right to help the homeless. The right for people to form unions, the right for people to have proper healthcare. And.. again a very strong middle class and a party who doesn't desert them. We can't be too far left or too far right guys. Honestly, it's not worked in the past.
