Tim talked with David French yesterday. He said the Right will go after Kamala in the grossest of ways. In 2008 against Obama, it was dog whistles. With Kamala it's going to be out front and center. The way that right-wing discourse has devolved over the last nine years, there's going to be no shortage of wild, crazy, bigoted things said…
Tim talked with David French yesterday. He said the Right will go after Kamala in the grossest of ways. In 2008 against Obama, it was dog whistles. With Kamala it's going to be out front and center. The way that right-wing discourse has devolved over the last nine years, there's going to be no shortage of wild, crazy, bigoted things said about her.
Then he asks: Does that actually undermine the Right in a way that their own bigotry would make them more vulnerable? It's just an intuition of mine, but I think the answer is yes.
I sent this to my one conservative friend whose information sources are right-wing talk radio, particularly Dennis Prager and Ben Shapiro. He really knows nothing about politics. He just clings to grifter hacks and takes what the say at face value which somehow makes him feel good. His response was that they won't because all they have to do is attack her job performance as VP. This must be what he's hearing from them.
I said criticisms of her peformance as VP are old. What's current is she is killing it on the stump and, as Sarah said on this week's TNL (https://www.thebulwark.com/p/blue-maga), perceptions of her are lightly held and can be improved. I agree with that because I was persuaded by this podcast that Kamala, who was once known as the law and order Dem and couldn't be that in the political moment of 2020, can now be who she is - this is a different political moment: "Is Kamala Harris Underrated?" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyvaxlKuOuE&list=PLdMrbgYfVl-szepgVpArP0obwYgbKdfvx&index=1).
Yes, 10 times. Of course she is underrated. She has *always* been underrated.
Do posters here expect slow-thinking voters to change their minds in a blink?
Harris will have to change their minds with her intelligence and strength. She can do it. She is the one in 2024 who can show up Trump for what he is: a corrupt fraud, a criminal convicted by a jury of his peers on 34 felony counts, a racist and misogynist, a charlatan who has created one of the most dangerous cults against democracy our country has ever known.

I think the answer is yes, too.
