Rather than worry about what Trump might say, Harris is defying Trump.
Every press release refers to him as an elderly criminal. Going after him and Vance as weird is the right approach. If you go on offense, you control the message. #Harris2024
Why Harris keeps calling Trump and Vance 'weird' |

@TonyStark I hope the campaign keeps hammering on this. Because it's the truth: they're fringe doomsday preppers in suits. They're that creepy uncle who has a basement full of cans of creamed corn and threw out his microwave because he thinks the government bugged it. They're the ones who believe in the Illuminati, and warehouses of alien corpses, and the New World Order. They see Jesus in toast and believe in chemtrails and snake-oil cures. They think UPC codes are the Mark of the Beast.
@TonyStark (Ask me how I know all this! Oh, the stories I could tell about my sovcit parents.)
@textualdeviance It’s sure a workable message- talk about their nutjobbery and talk about the future not the past (MAGA - stuck in the past which wasn’t exactly great.)
@textualdeviance @TonyStark don’t forget: they are often looking FORWARD to the end of the world, and actively plotting to bring it on, even if they don’t think they are.
@crow @TonyStark Yep. The evangelical support for Israel has nothing to do with support for Jewish people. It's all about getting the country back to its Biblical borders, since that's a condition for the Rapture.
I mean, I kinda feel a little sorry for some of them. Their lives are so small and bleak that heaven is the only thing they have to look forward to. So they're trying to win enough points with their god to get their ticket.
@crow
They want to end the world, because their #cult believes it will bring about their #rapture. And that their god wants it, and will reward them for it. AND that their enemies, all their imagined petty slights, will be punished for eternity.
It's all a huge, sociopathic grudge.
It can't be just something nice, good, benevolent.
It's the deeply programmed hate & lust to harm the Other.
