Snowflakes. Groomers. Cucks.
For years the MAGA movement has approached politics the way a bully would approach a schoolyard, sparring with labels so nasty, they seemed expressly chosen to appeal to the kind of people who stuffed nerds in lockers in sixth grade. And for years Democrats, abiding by the mantra to go high, not low, have responded by trying to be the adults in the room: defending themselves with facts, with context, with earnest explanations that nobody remembers (if they defend themselves at all).
The problem is that taking the high road only works if politics is a sport played mainly by people who act like grown-ups, which it is not. And also: Facts and context don’t make for particularly sticky messaging.
Enter: Weird.
Over the past two weeks, as “Brat” and coconut memes have taken over the internet and Kamala Harris inches closer to Donald Trump in the polls, the Democrats have finally gone low, deploying a bit of verbal jujitsu so delightfully petty it might just work.
More of this bullshit? My god is this weak. No Republican gives a shit about this, nor does anyone not an already solid democrate.
The Republican reaction disagrees with you. It’s oddly put them I’m quite the tailspin, which I personally do think will have an effect on turning off some Republican voters. I don’t think it will pick up many voters, but it may indirectly dissuade some.
you do.
I am not a republican lol
You’re acting kind of weird.
lol yes you are. You claim to be a democrat but you’ve got a lot of Republican genes in your beliefs. Also The way you talk is definitely Republican.
Look if you want to “pass” as a Democrat you’re going to have to do a lot more work and maybe hide some of your more Republican tendencies in like a closet or something.
You’ll never be a real dem but you might fool some folks if you keep putting on democratic clothes and practice passing.
But i’ll never accept you, and it’s important to me that you know that, and what that means.
