    The name isn’t to point out his efforts but a way to signal to conservatives that, because he cares about tampons, he cares about girls in a way that is “unnatural”.

    The goal is to try to label him, put him in a box that the right can point at and say, “SeE?! He MuSt Be A PeDoFiLe!1”

    The people who are building the narrative are trying to paint him as worse than “Hide your sofa” Vance, which is a tough sell right now.

    I’m actually sort of proud of the Democrats right now. They have, effectively, pulled the mic from the hands of Trump and Fox, name called them to the point that the Republicans are scrambling, actually panicking, about the election.
