United States Politics: ∆τ_i*ε*φ*m_i<0 where ε=4 and φ=0.25

Didn't we already play this game with "Cringe" in 2016?

Just point out how unfuckable they are, lol...whoops, we lost.

I don't remember that gaining any traction or getting under anyone's skin. Hit dogs are hollerin right now because they've built an entire media cocoon specifically to avoid/ignore mainstream judgement,. Lot of people turned into weird little freaks and are now mad the public is reacting to it. Normal people don't care who is advertising a beer, they aren't trying to log/document the periods of girls/women, they don't count all the non-white characters in a film/tv show, they don't support banning birth control, and they sure as hell don't go around denigrating people who don't have kids. 

The conservative response is eventually gonna be to bring up trans/gender/etc but...the average American has never seen or met a trans person. They might as well be rare Pokemon. If they've met one, it was probably the Dominos cashier who got your pizza order correct. But everyone knows a woman, and most people have talked to one that has had trouble getting pregnant or had an abortion or faced weird treatment in public. So yea, this shit is clearly doing some damage and it will only get worse thanks to JD Vance.

Most of what you're saying is accurate, I just don't think it moves the needle.

I'd wager it loses as many people as it gains: it'd be like if they called Trump fat all the time...true? sure. But some people are gonna be like "hey, fuck you".

Personal attacks don't really do the job. I think stealing the spotlight and keeping it, and NOT giving oxygen to the opponent (even for sick burns) is gonna win the day. 

Think about how Trump's assassination attempt got memoryholed immediately when everyone was dancin' in the street over Queen Kamala. That's the energy that will win IMO. "Look at us and the dynamic, confident, positive, thing we're doing." Don't point over at the other guy, even if it is to say he's a lamebrain fartface or whatever high school insult you desperately wanna lob. "You" here referring to the campaign apparatus.

I don't even think calling them weird is some major offense, I'm more skeptical of the "Weird is WORKING!" way of thinking. Even if it makes Ben Shapiro froth at the mouth, that's really not an important success indicator.
