His supporters aren’t looking for competence. They don’t want someone who understands complexity or nuance.
They’re looking for someone who will hurt the people they’ve been told to hate, and who advocates for the same kind of dumbfuck approaches to problems that they take. Ask a spoiled 8yo bully what you should do about any given issue, then run with that as policy.
That’s what fills them with joy. Simple, direct, doesn’t care what other people think, or what the results will be, he just says the thing they feel. My grandfather would have loved him.
What’s baffling and infuriating is that the dems have no fucking clue how to counter the approach. None whatsoever. They keep trying to play chess with the 8yo bully, he keeps hitting them in the face with the pieces, they cry because it’s an illegal move, and all the bully’s friends laugh and cheer him on.
It’s a little baffling that so many people operate at the level of 8 year old bullies, at least to me. Maybe I don’t spend enough time with terrible people.
I think some Democrats are better at it than others. Their approach has been wildly different since Harris took the scene. It’s been less of trying to debate the policies that the GOP doesn’t even have, and more of just pointing out how fucking bizarre this shitshow has been.
Hardly baffling.
