I just walked my dog past a big red pickup truck with stickers that had a picture of Biden with "I just shit my pants" and "BLM: Biden Loves Minors" (so classy) and it really struck me how extremely Biden focused the Republican memes have been.
Like we used to have "Pelosi is secretly running things" or like even Mitt Romney was running against Obama but his attacks were about Democrats as a whole, they were tax and spend liberals building the nanny state.
The flip side to Trump's immature style is that it IS extremely specific, and like you can't just go "actually it's Meatball Nikki Haley." Obviously you can invent different immature nicknames and memes but it is hard to telegraph them with the convention out of the way.
I just saw a headline that Trump appears to be upset because he's spent so much time and money fighting Biden, and none fighting Harris or other potential candidates.
I laughed.
Yeah he actually "Truthed" (lol) that he thinks the Dems owe him compensation for Joe dropping out due to all the money his campaign has spent attacking Joe. What a cunt
HAHAHAHAHA. That is hilarious.
As well as bat shit crazy
I think he's aged beyond coming up with his own nicknames.
The Trump writing team is probably working around the clock to come up with names that are racist enough for the cult to enjoy, without being racist enough to censor on TV.
It boggles my mind. If you tallied up all the cars that have Biden’s name or picture on them, I bet they’d be overwhelmingly owned by MAGA folks. Why???
I honestly can't think of anytime I've ever seen a car with a pro-Biden bumper sticker on it. I've even seen a few for Clinton when she ran but never Biden.
