@TheNightKing how would you run a campaign against Trump?
Long post incoming.
I’d fight fire with fire.
I’d run an ad with shots of him saying dumb shit and looking flabby and sick and the tagline would be “Not ‘Fit’ to be President”. I’d imply he might not make it 4 more years. I’d just continually insult him on shallow shit because that’s all he and his followers understand. See how effective the “weird” tagline was?
And that’s all of the attention I’d give him directly.
Then I’d pull one of his moves and just take credit for every little thing.
I’d take credit for the stimmy’s since I was in Congress when it was passed.
When the stock market hit records I’d be running ads saying I did that shit.
When the interest rates were cut I’d take credit for that shit.
Now Target and Walmart is saying they’re cutting prices, I’d take credit for that shit.
When some food producers admitted to collusion and gouging, I’d attack them and say “see I told you so, I got them scared of prosecution by me”.
Now that border crossings are lower than when Trump was president, I’d take credit for that shit and say Trump went weak on the border towards the end with lack of a wall being proof. Then I’d say I’ll actually build the wall and put remain in Mexico back in place, but be more humane about it. Totally steal Trump’s ideas like they were my own.
I’d show people that sex changes for felons was under Trump and say “it’s 2024, you don’t have to hide your support for the LGBTQ community?” to subtly suggest he might secretly be for LGBTQ rights, lol. And include the pics of Vance in drag and say it’s ok to be who you are now.
And when people say why didn’t you do all of this in the last 4 years, I’d totally throw Biden under the bus and say that was Biden’s agenda, this is mine. Or I’d say this was a staged plan that’s finally paying off and under me it will fully pay off. Then go into what I will be doing by outlining my policies.
Just off top of my head. I’d polish this if I had time to really think about it.
