    He’s not wrong, but I don’t know what it’s going to accomplish when the GOP and their supporters have no shame

        It annoyed them a bit but it didn’t really dissuade people from supporting Trump and Vance, and I think they’d mind the label “dick” even less than that, so again I don’t really know what it’s going to accomplish. People were told they’re fascists, told they’re weird, they didn’t care then, they won’t care now.

          This isn’t for Trump supporters, though. It’s for Democrats. If you think that the goal is to win over Trump voters, then you’ve already lost. Mocking and demoralizing your opponents is one of the tools from the Trump tool kit, and it’s one that most Democrats are too nice to use.

          Calling the schoolyard bully a dick is a small step, but at least it’s in the right direction.
