Donald Trump has cut short a Florida golf trip to urgently assemble a short-list of misogynistic and racist slurs for likely Presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
It’s not funny because this tactic works. Maybe not in such a short timeline, but it worked on Hillary Clinton. Ask any republican what they think of her and they’ll tell you she’s a bitch. Ask them how long they’ve thought of her as such and it’ll be over 12 years. Ask them why and the only solid response they’ll have is Benghazi and maybe a crack about not satisfying Bill. She has been vilified for mundane things to turn her into a wholly annoying person that actually hurts her public image.
So while I’m with you, it’s fun to pick apart this insult to show how boring it is, I can’t help but fear it’s effectiveness. This is coming from the group that thought Hillary would start a war every month. You know, because all the other wars, all under men, were naturally occurring or something.
That’s the whole problem with him in a nutshell, to be honest. He’s an entertainer after all. You can call it what you want but there is a weird sort of charisma mixed in with the narcissism and utter deranged lunacy. That’s why he’s so dangerously good at appealing to his base and maintaining this cult of personality.
He wasn’t even really an entertainer though. He’s “entertaining” because of how big of a douchbag he is, which is why he got The Apprentice show. I don’t think most people watched that because they thought he was the hero of that story.
He’s not especially bright. It’ll be “Krazy Kamala”.
“Cacklin’ Kamela” already exists and seems to be mean enough to fit the bill
Its only flaw is that some contingent will write “KacKlin’ Kamela” which kind of gives the game away
Which is pretty funny too when you pick it apart and realize the crux of that insult is “she laughs wrong”.
OH NO! Clearly that should disqualify someone from office
Well, given they think wearing tan suits should disqualify (people of certain skin color) from office…

Pokemon go to the polls!
I mean Trumpists don’t care about facts, they will lap anything up.
But Hillary was hated all over the spectrum.
Yeah they can’t use “Cackling copilot Kamala” anymore can they
To be honest the guy can come up with some catchy nicknames, there’s even a Wikipedia article listing them:

Like, “Little Rocket Man” is fucking savage. 😂

Surprised no one downvoted you, on lemmy of all places, but you’re completely right
Meatball Ron is my personal favorite. As a Floridian I’ve had ample opportunity to whip that one out in conversation
the “convicted felon” is the only nicknane people should use for him, though.
We already have “Crooked Joe”, he’s just going to recycle that as “Crooked Kamala”
