Trump is weak. We need to remember that. [View all]
Thinking about how Trump is quietly calling the GOP candidate in PA weak, haven't you noticed that Trump is selling a twisted sense of white, masculine strength to red America? They love it, because is a direct contrast with the new vision of America Obama represented: a racially mixed, intellectually advanced nation ruled by a non-traditional, less dominant form of masculinity (which would open the doors of power to women and other underrepresented groups). Trump, obviously, represents the unabashed dominance that male-run white America has had over the country (and, why not, over the world). His boorish behavior just reinforces the idea of him being the unapologetic king of the world, something his supporters feel they are as well through him.
But, what if Trump, to the eyes of his supporters, becomes a weakling? What if we, Dems, are able to articulate a message that exposed him not as dangerous, but as a total weakling who is being taken advantage of by Putin, Kim and special interests here at home? Someone who even an over the hill porn star is able to push around. Someone that lacks a spine, someone not without the ability to do what's right, but without the COJONES to do what's right. Someone we can mock openly, because he's just weak and pathetic.
Can we do it? Can the Democratic Party articulate the message that Trump is a weakling that we can mock, ridicule, and that we need to save our dignity by kicking him out of office?
Just thinking aloud.
