Trump and his campaign, in the first hours after the Harris choice was announced by Biden, started to fling misogynistic and racist shit to the wall to see what may stick. With the projection we have all come to roll our eyes at, Biden is a racist and his pick of Harris is racist, Harris is nasty because she challenged Biden at a debate amongst other things and she is phony, so very phony. As with everything that spouts forth from the great orange bloviator it is all complete bollocks but speaks to a certain horrid narrowing base of support, and so with indecent haste the white supremacist underbelly of society responded to his nasty. The right wing rump on the interwebs are once again demonstrating what awful people they are as they compete with each other to demonstrate their jingoistic male chauvinist credentials, cause white macho supremacist privilege has a hurt on.
This is only going to get worse and if the campaign thinks this will convert anyone to the Trump cult then they are really failing to read the mood in the room. Harris is not Clinton. This is not 2016. More people convert to the Never Trump movement every day. People recognise that this is an historic moment in so many ways and as the Trump campaign gets more desperate and more vicious with both racist and sexist attacks any women other than the basest of base, who are still pondering about voting for Trump in 2020 will walk away even if their SOs still fall for the dog whistles.

This is what republicans truly feel about a women.
At this point only the fully committed cult female member could cast their vote for such women haters.

The Browning of America.
All 3 are children of immigrants -
But this is America. A country of immigrants. Donald Trump is the grandchild of immigrants.
Anyone still defending Trump - has no excuse. You are defending racism. Period.
These people do not want a fair and just society. One where all people are seen as equal. Nope, they want the the America in their head of the past where white men are on top - even poor white men. Its sad that poor white people would prefer to remain poor if they think that it means they retain their "status" over black and brown people.

(10,078 posts)I think Trump will have a hard time pinning his childish labels on Harris, just as hes had a hard time with anything more damaging than sleepy for Biden. He risks alienating more women if he gets too nasty with her. The protests this summer have awakened a lot of people, especially some White women, to the inequities in our society and theyre ready for a change from the good old boy network.

(9,263 posts)the reaction and attacks is their norm. IF GOP/trump believe getting back the college educated white female suburban voter is going to happen with misogynistic and racist attacks, I am afraid they have vastly miscalculated again.
the more gop/trump act and speak the more democratic voters they create while adding nothing to their base
