Donald Trump received the election. I suppose that implies that as an alternative of supporting help to first-time residence patrons, small companies and households with excessive child-care prices; as an alternative of supporting girls’s and LGBTQ+ rights; and as an alternative of promising to be an administration for all Individuals, Democrats ought to ban Muslims, continually denigrate girls, make enjoyable of the disabled, promote violence, threaten journalists, promote revenge and name human beings vermin.
Name me loopy, however I consider the Harris-Walz marketing campaign was not solely “likable,” it was additionally a optimistic marketing campaign that promoted pleasure and optimism.
