          Nah thanks, his pet names are lame and forgettable. I keep using Trump exactly to dehumanize the name and make the name synonymous with his failures. Using these makes only takes away from that.

          History must remember what a failure this man is, so I’d rather use that name.

      More than that, Trump isn’t in the middle of actively fighting a fucking war, and a funeral has one single, solitary wardrobe expectation: wear black.*

      Even if not for that utter dumpster fire of a press conference, I also remember the fuss made about Obama’s tan suit that he just happened to wear during a televised event (which was not a funeral). On every level, this clown deserves mockery.

        Bringing up the suite on live TV was so cringe. Vance is such a little weasel.

        That being said. He should probably wear a suit. It just looks a little silly in that environment not to. I get the “war general” look when he’s in Ukraine. I just think if you’re gonna go do diplomacy you should also look the part.

        Now, do I want him to wear a suit now? Fuck no. Now I want him showing up in jeans and a sleeveless tee out of spite.

          No one cares about hypocrisy enough to change their vote. Besides Obama’s tan suit didn’t matter then, Fox News needed their daily sound bite, and Trump’s blue suit doesn’t matter now, we need a sound bite today. But if anyone is being hypocritical it’s Fox for not being outraged over Trump. And of course the Republicans and MAGA do not care. It was always about having another controversy to use as a wedge against Obama to gain political power.

          Trump knows criticism of any kind is bad for him. That’s why he references the Tds, Trump derangement syndrome, in his rallies. When he runs out of things to blame Obama and Biden for he can just blame the people who don’t vote for him. He knows it keeps his base happy, makes him look good to Republican voters, and that he was never getting Democrats or leftists to vote for him. The Democrats really need to learn that last one, but about Republicans.

              First, hypocrisy is not a worthwhile criteria for an idea. We should judges ideas independently of the people espousing them. People who practice what they preach can practice awful, harmful, and useless ideas and people who don’t practice what they preach can preach great, helpful, and useful ideas.

              Second, plenty of things change votes. And I guess anything, even hypocrisy might change someone’s vote on something. But it clearly didn’t with this case about the blue suit with Republicans.

              But making fun of Trump might make him seem that much less based to some of the people who casually vote for candidates and if that translates into some fractional change in votes against Republicans it will have been worth it.

      It’s purely to be on the attack. Republicans showed for the last fifteen years if you’re performatively aggressive against the opposition eventually you get what you want.

      You don’t have to hate Trump or his suit color. Just love democracy and socialism and the working class. If this gets some apolitical conservative people to not vote for the Republicans then awesome.

        The thing was that they resorted to the tan suit and terrorist first bump bullshit because Obama gave them so little to work with. For Trump you didn’t need to waste everyone’s time when his administration is ignoring court orders, arresting judges, declaring warrants and due process unnecessary, and tanking the economy.

        The tan suit stuff may have helped energize the base by preaching to the choir, but everyone else found it ridiculous and made them skeptical of conservative media. When you are inundated nearly daily with real terrible stuff, no need to undermine credibility by latching into this sort of fluff.

          but everyone else found it ridiculous and made them skeptical of conservative media.

          I found it ridiculous too and it made me very skeptical of conservative media. I wasn’t the target audience. And with this blue suit attack line, I’m not the target audience either. It’s not for me or most of the people on social media delivering the sound bite. Like the tan suit controversy before it, it’s for conservatives.

          When you are inundated nearly daily with real terrible stuff, boo need to undermine credibility by latching into this sort of fluff.

          Conservatives either don’t believe, don’t care, or like that terrible stuff. We should boo that too, and continue to cover it, but we need to take the short amount of time it takes to knock the fluff out of the park. Our issue hasn’t been making fun of Trump for the wrong things, it’s not making fun of him enough. We haven’t been aggressive enough and Democratic politicians definitely haven’t been aggressive enough.

          I bought into Jon Stewart’s line that we need to focus on more substantive criticisms. Then in it turned out Trump voters like him because of the economy and the price of eggs? No, we needed to make MAGA’s ‘strongman’ look weak in the eyes of his supporters. Septimaeus covered this concept comprehensively so review that comment if you haven’t already.

          If all we talk about is fluff that would be a mistake, but refusing to engage with the fluff at all is also a mistake.

            I corrected my typo, it was supposed to be no need.

            Talking about him falling asleep can undermine his undeserved tough guy image, I don’t think mocking his blue suit does anything but make it look like we are grasping at straws.

              We still need to do the more substantive arguments for our positions, such as progressive and socialist positions, and refutations of neoliberal and fascist positions. But once the sound-bite reaches saturation in the population it will, in theory anyway, have done the desired damage.

              To some conservative people, a man not wearing a black suit to a funeral is effectively taboo. It effectively is to some of the users, without respect to their political positions, in this comment section apparently. It’s something some of his voters will have to rationalize to defend him. If we do enough of these trivial ad hominem attacks eventually some people will be less motivated to vote Republican.

              People who do not care about suit color will considered this topic to be a trivial non-issue and move on with their day. They aren’t the target audience. And the people who do care will be really bothered by it. What bothers a person is different for everyone. People probably should be bothered by the more serious life or death stuff, but not everyone is. To some people climate change is a trivial non-issue and by talking about that we’re grasping at straws according to them.

          I agree, and once would have dismissed the sociopolitical pragmatism described by the commenter above as “lowering our discourse to their level” or something of the sort.

          I eventually realized that this instinctive criticism was valid only if they were still growing as people, and capable of more than what they are now. The assumption is that setting higher expectations might convince them to “elevate their discourse” if only to save face.

          But what I’ve come to realize is that this was far too much to expect. By all the evidence available to date, these folks never advanced far beyond the emotional maturity of the average middle schooler. At this level of maturity, superficial and public humiliation is quite literally the most serious attack, as it bloodies waters presumed to be infested with sharks.

          Yes it’s pathetic, and yes “stooping to their level” feels gross, but Republican voters are only enthused by policies which benefit them directly or hurt others they feel deserve it. Perceived power matters a lot to them, and seems to be attached to explicit expressions of it that are similarly pathetic— as in, truck nuts, “I am very smart,” “I have a great brain and concepts of a plan,” etc.

          So public humiliation of trump for an otherwise petty and irrelevant issue (especially by someone he can’t touch without losing a chunk of his base) absolutely succeeds in making him look weak, and making Trump look weak is directly correlated with his voters’ loss of motivation to vote (see RWA personality type/disorder; it’s fascinating).

          Enough of these successful offensives will cause his most die-hard voters to lose faith in him (caveat: to seek out somebody stronger) so to de-motivate a current right-wing conservative voter, likely we must accept that petty “mean girl” tactics are the only language they understand, due to their arrested emotional development, and robbing them of their “strongman” is both easy and effective. Ridicule the emperor with no clothes and his voters, who are themselves unclothed, might go home and rethink their fashion statement.

          TLDR: It sucks but crass pragmatism may be warranted in this case. The first language of Trump voters is small-mindedness, and it’s often the only one they understand, so we might consider rolling our sleeves up and speaking it if only so future generations don’t have to.

          Edit: corrected swype errors.
