President Bidenās reelection campaign has dubbed former President Trump āBroke Don,ā taking a strategy out of Trumpās playbook that his political rivals know all too well.
Trump has used nicknames ā from āLittle Marcoā to āCrooked Hillaryā to āLyinā Tedā ā to put down a variety of opponents. For much of 2020, Bidenās moniker, courtesy of Trump, was āSleepy Joe.ā
Now, the Biden team is seeking to turn the tables in attempting to make one stick to Trump while it worked this week to highlight the former presidentās lagging fundraising numbers in the 2024 race.
I know Iām in the minority on this but Iāve always felt like Trump truly won when we started adopting his shithead name-calling habits.
Its doesnāt accomplish anything and reduces every argument to finger pointing and smirking.
Heās so much better at it than anyone else cause his supporters donāt care what he does and the rest of us arenāt that beholden to a single politician to proselytize their every word
Namecalling appeals to morons who have trouble parsing anything more complex.
Morons are a non-negligible proportion of the US electorate.
Yeah, just look at all the people on lemmy and reddit who focus on Trumpās skin color instead of his myriad crimes, piss poor performance as president, and attempted coup.
Namecalling as a strategy and namecalling as a means of releasing pent-up frustration are two different things, Iād argue.
Hell, Iād even put namecalling as provocation as different from namecalling as a strategy for garnering support.
itās just so disappointing that the GOP literally has no standards, while the Dems get called out for literally everything they do. Those criticisms can fuck off. The fascists are at your doorstep, you fools.
God forbid the party whose entire platform is āat least weāre not the Republicansā be held to a higher standard than the republicans
The standard of ādonāt hurl childish insults at bad peopleā isnāt a standard I care terribly much about. Neither the name calling nor the pearl clutching are important in any way.
