That is the fundamental creeping fear of a Harris campaign. I’m old enough to remember Scott Brown winning Ted Kennedy’s Massachusetts Senate Seat largely on the “Ew! Lady Senator?! Gross!” misogynist vibes out of the less savory corners of Chowder Country. Not hard to forget the suffocating Tea Party backlash that struck the country in the wake of its first Black President, either.
There’s definitely going to be some number of Biden -> Trump voters purely based on liberal-flavored patriarchal white nationalism. The only question is whether they’re out in the swing states. And, if so, whether they’ll be eclipsed by a countervailing wave of turnout.
Ah… that’s hilarious.
It’s not like Trump can appeal to a bunch of undecided bigoted assholes - he already had the bigoted asshole vote locked up.
If they keep it up, by November that’s all he’ll have.
Nobody tell them. I want to see how long it’ll take for them to figure it out on their own. If they do.
