71. "But I don't, except as a way to really piss off Trump"
Mon Mar 25, 2024, 05:00 AM
Mar 2024

That's mainly what it is.

One of the problems that has plagued Democrats over multiple Presidential elections is the ridicule that we -

1.) Are always hand-wringing
2.) Never take the gloves off
3.) Must keep our powder dry
4.) "Go high when they go low"
5.) Pull our punches
6.) Always clutch our pearls

In this desperate time with multiple (real) billionaires funding the opposition in support of overthrowing democracy and installing a fascist autocracy, it has to be "all hands (and tactics) on deck".

And due to the nature of the social media world, a suggestion can be floated and that "world" will take it from there.

If you ever followed the progress of John Fetterman when he was running for Senator here in PA in 2022, his ability to "break through" to certain demographics was thanks to his "trolling" the opposition.

It is 100% the right move Joe Cool Mar 2024 #1
