I watched this video (it's at the bottom) and it occurred to me, this is what's finally going to bring him down with the MAGAs. I see it, I finally got damn fucking see it.
What the MAGA crowd loves isn't his message, it doesn't matter what he says or does. How much he fails and contradicts himself doesn't matter. They always make excuses for him, rationalize him. MAGAs loves his confidence. He has it, no other rethug candidate comes close. Yeah, he's angry but he also mocks and jokes in a way anybody can understand. It's that simple.
I've got 3 best lifelong friends, they don't like Trump but they discussed why people do - talking over people, not giving a fuck and always punching back. For example, they loved during the 1st debate when he answered "Smart" to the question about avoiding taxes. Back to the picture I took from another post. That video projects none of that. It projects weakness. Frailty.
Ladies and gentlemen, the words we use that describe him sound like an adult in any Charlie Brown special. It's mumblecore to the MAGA crowd. But the word "WEAK", it's primal, they feel it. That's the god damn game. Confidence.
Play the Republican Fox game is how we start peeling the base away. They make them after years of abuse from their own laws (another subject for another time) angry. Being pissed off makes them feel alive, feel stronger, revitalized. It energizes those assholes.
Make them feel weak and they stay home. We are never going to break the trance and have them think logically. Who the hell thinks logically when they're angry? Transcribing Trump does little to nothing. It ain't the words, it's how he says them.
Right now, he speaks weakly, feebly. Push that message over and over again. Keep it simple. His lawyers have talked some sense to him and he isn't speaking off the cuff. He's got to think his words and actions through. And that is obviously taking the piss out of him. That's the picture above. His hair is looking weak. It looks like a tongue protruding between two broken teeth.
I saw the same thing when he was alone speaking after the Washington indictment in the rain. The indictments and the lawyers are slowing him down. Making him second guess himself sounds weak and it's starting to reflect in his support.
Hit his lack of confidence over and over again. Call him weak. Don't make the Desantis mistake thinking that his policies are popular, they're not. Forget calling him, lunatic, madman, idiot etc. Weak, frail, old, these words work. Keep it simple and pass it along.
More thoughts:
He isn't a politician so political solutions don't and won't work. Describe him as weak, limp, low energy, SAD, etc. This guy ran as a dick pill for failed republican ideas and it god damned worked.
V for Vendetta coined the saying that ideas are bullet proof. He doesn't have any. Trump has confidence and he's sold it his entire life. Break the confidence and you break the man. Remember ideas are bullet proof, not the men saying them.
The Republican strategists probably hate his ass because he has no ideas and the party is all him. All we have to do is break him and the MAGAs are broken by extension.
When I saw that Twitter post, I saw the seeds of knocking his ass out of public life: blinking, sweating, garbled, slurred and swaying. In a word, WEAK.
You find a bad picture of Trump, fucking post it. Hell, watch any of the videos out there freeze it and post a new image of it. Create new images for others to use and post. Time for an online Trump Library. The central theme is weak sauce.
We're liberals we over think shit. That's their strength over us. Fuck that. Play to the id (they have and continue to do this to us in all venues). Be relentless and keep kicking whether he's up or down. Doesn't god damn matter.
Limp is synonymous with weakness, right? With dead seriousness, it is the time for dick jokes. Don't think about being obscene or lowering the bar to public discourse. Lowing the bar was done years ago. Let David Brooks bitch about it to millionaires. Fight fire with fire here, people.
You want to stop him and MAGA, get off our battlefield and go to theirs. They play and talk at the primal level and we need be there, bringing it right back at them. You don't need ideas, policy and fairness to do it. With all due respect to Michelle Obama, you got it wrong with Trump.
When they go low, we go even lower.
This isn't a time for talk of policy or philosophy. We got people for that. Our job is to tear that mother fucker down and we can do it with their play book. They don't have policy ideas. Anti-woke isn't a policy. You don't go after Trump by having the better policy. You're never gonna win by telling someone they're an idiot who's proud to be the idiot and who has followers who feel the same fucking way.
You go after him by breaking his confidence. A confidence man with no confidence is a dog who don't hunt, feel me? After we break that, there's god damn nothing. Here's the video:
