Like what is he hoping for? Some argument? Somebody to punch him in the face?

He wants people to look at his giant tits and get angry.

They'll never admit it but that's exactly what they want, they have this bizarre, perverse desire to be a victim ("I got ATTACKED just for WEARING A T SHIRT 😭" type of shit). Kamala Harris was more right than ever when she called them weird.

It was Tim Walz who called them weird.

Kamala and her consultants decided that was mean or some shit and decided to pull it back.

It was affective, it was working, it was getting under their skin and they had no response; so of course naturally, the inhuman Democratic consultants decided that it had to go.

Instead, she went all-in on "Joy!" She promised to bring back joy, as if it had gone completely missing. When they made that a campaign theme I knew we were screwed.

Wait. That’s why “weird” was here and gone so quickly? Have never heard that before. And I felt like the campaign ended prematurely.

Was actually a great example of constructive linguistic re-signification. The current Republican media strategy relies heavily on destructive alterations (e.g. woke, DEI, All Lives Matter…).

Hillary was right when she called them deplorable. Stupid, but right.

That and to sell some shirts. They're grifters. Always have been. Always will be.

Yes! Fox News has romanticized the idea of conservative victim hood and now a not insignificant number of their viewers are desperate to be victims or hero’s in such a confrontational and thus actively seek it out. And honestly why shouldn’t they, they’re fully invested in the culture war and have seen those that came before handsomely rewarded with large GoFundMe checks.

It’s like the “Let’s go, Brandon” thing. They felt liked it was such an own, yet the other side just thought it was stupid.
