This Is Going Well
By Turning the opposition’s words around to use against them is an effective strategy. So is humor.
JD Vance so far has provided a target-rich environment. First he referred to “childless cat ladies.” It’s always a bad idea to offend cat lovers, and the “ladies” are offended. I’ve changed my avatar or whatever they’re calling them lately on Facebook to this:
There are others. And a quick search of Google turns up this partial selection:
Vance wrote (or didn’t write) something that I’m not aware of that had to do with pleasuring himself with a couch. There is no end to the wordplay now in progress on the internets having to do with couches. Lots of synonyms there. AP fact-checked that story and then withdrew (uh) their story.
All this keeps the story in play. It’s a variant on a political recommendation by President Lyndon Baines Johnson to accuse an opponent of sexual congress with pigs. “Make him deny it.”
The quips continue today. I don’t even know whatever it was that Vance did that started it, and I don’t care. Make him deny it.
That ties in (sorta) with the Heritage Foundation’s recommendation to end recreational sex.
None of these memes is going away any time soon. Mocking your opponent, particularly mocking Donald Trump and his friends, is an effective strategy. And it gives us a laugh.
