I'm sorry, that's weak as hell. He's worse than MAGA. He's a theocrat. But I guess that's not alliterative so we can't possibly say what he really is.
Namecalling is really only worthwhile if it bothers the accused or their supporters. 'MAGA Mike' is really just... a tame description. No reason to use it.
That’s why I’ll never stop calling McConnell ‘Moscow Mitch’ or ‘Moscow’s Bitch’
Though the latter works for Mike too.
MAGAT Mike?
Easy to switch to, even if it's still tame.
More left and center leaning religious people are anti-MAGA than they are anti-theocracy. A lot of them think the Bible was a big inspiration for the Constitution while being anti-MAGA; so meet them where they are I guess…
You're over thinking who the target audience is. It's the low information/ lower intelligent people this will resonate with. You want to keep things simple. Most Americans wouldn't understand anything you are talking about, these same people believe a god lives in the clouds. It's important to stay on their level.
Yes, all those low-information voters who care about the newly elected Speaker of the House.
Let's not. Leave the dumb names to the Republicans. We got better things to do than fling shit. Let them debase themselves to the point their party can't be recognized. People will see it for what it is. And the ones who don't, weren't interested in anything but flinging shit anyways. You don't wanna look like them.
Exactly right, but also... MAGA is a good thing to most republicans. So this is a failure from all angles.
Not if the left co-opt it. That is what the right does. Look at “woke”.
This is targeted at the Republicans.
It misses.
...who love "maga"
Calling names is a grade school level, low intelligence thing to do and it seems to me that they'd be stooping down to Trump's level to do that.
Not to mention that millions of Americans love the MAGA movement, and they'd see this as an endorsement.
It would be a stupid move.
Not to mention that the psychological difference between liberals and conservatives means that Right-to-Left namecalling makes Right look strong and Left look weak, and Left-to-Right namecalling makes Left look infantile/desperate and Right look vindicated.
Calling names is a grade school level
Yes, it is. Most voters have only a grade school level understanding of the world. One of the biggest problems liberals have is that they think everyone thinks like them and on the same education level. That's why they ignore you. That's why they call you an elitist. When you're talking to fellow liberals, use your big words. When you talk to the general public, dial it down ten notches.
Right, but telling Republicans that their representative wants to make America great again while thinking it's an insult. That's dialing the stupid up to 1000.
It has shown to be effective. MAGA is a dividing point and Democrats are using it to brand hatred and Anti-American views to the name.
It's going to be when Hilary called Trump supporters a basket of deplorables. They embraced that, it energized them, and it got them to turn out to vote for a POS.
I think this has the potential to do the same.
It is still the most accurate name.
Did you happen to write the ad? You seem to be very invested in painting it in a positive light.
I simply get it. Nothing more.
I prefer “traitor shitcunt”.
Must have taken them all of a second to come up with THAT brilliantly scathing sobriquet 🙄
Don't get me wrong, I despise him and the rest of the cult as much as the next sane guy, but couldn't they have been just a LITTLE more creative?
I have a better suggestion. It's alliterative so it rolls right off the tongue, it has a reference to walls tumbling like theirs did, AND it references the fact that he's a fundie weirdo. There's even a bonus reference to the fact that he's a dick and his surname is slang for dick!
The Jericho Johnson
How about “Mike The Unhinged Theocratic Lunatic”
Really rolls off the tongue
Muttley? With Donald being Dick Dastardly?
Maybe Donnie could just be Dick Head.
I guess “Batshit Dominionist Fuckface” was already taken.
This is lame AF, and therefore so, so on-brand for Democrats. If you’re going to do the name thing, you have to stick the knife in. For example, ‘Genocide Joe’ is a properly provocative label.
Thank you for explaining why educated Americans have such a large disconnect to Americans who only have high school degrees.
MAGAt Mike is mildly better.
How about Moskva Mikhail? His puppeteers could pronounce it better.
Wasn't last week like Matt Gates calling him maga Mike but in a positive way?
