MODERATORS
Of course they are mad. The Republican strategy up until this point has been to attack the incumbent, but now the incumbent is no longer running for re-election. Trump literally doesn't know how to deal with this situation. His whole shtick is to attack the person currently in charge, but that doesn't do shit for him now.
A big part of why he lost in 2020, imo, is that he didn't have anybody to blame for all the bad shit happening in the country at the time. He himself was in charge and could only say "things will get worse under Biden", but people were sick of Covid fucking up our lives and the endless scandals that hit the news daily.
He's gonna tie every biden policy to Hillary Clinton and attack her based on that.
Then hopefully someone will remind him that he's running against Kamala Harris and not Clinton.
More likely they will just make up a connection with Hillary and Kamala. Like they are in the same coven and drink adrenochrome together.
Why did my keyboard know autocorrect the spelling of that word?
what the hell... I've never heard of this before
Wild huh? Hunter Thompson wrote about it once, and then it was in the movie version of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Got warped around to what it is now.
There is a large chunk of the US population that believes this shit or things adjacent to it. 30% or so, I think. I've lost many people to it.
Check out Qanon Qausilties on Reddit. It's a cult, that's a mental illness, that's a political movement. Useful for the fascists. Very dangerous. Very sad.
It's a real substance the body makes, but it can also be synthesized. As such, people have taken it to try it out. Iirc it isn't even a fun high, so they started making up that children make "better" versions or something.
It's just blood libel with the label scrapped off. Until you dig deeper into right wing conspiracies, then it's just regular blood libel.
This mad me laugh out loud uncontrollably. Well done!
Damn, if only they had spent that tens of millions of dollars campaigning for somebody, then this wouldn't have even mattered.
Or even attack the policies. The problem for the Trump Party is that they are a cult of personality and don't understand what policy really means.
they're gonna have to re-edit some of their attack ads ready to go and just add "and SHE was there, vice presidenting all of it" at the end.
