Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for July 30, 2020

Hasn’t this strategy been long in play?

A viable scare tactic as long as he remembers to threaten any who refuse.

Pretty sure around 40% of Americans would still vote for him.

And here I thought Dirk’s attack ad would feature laser weapons and lightsabers.

Wasn’t that pretty much Hillary Clinton’s implicit approach in 2016?

I had a couple of great jokes here but I’d better shut up.

No matter who wins there will be plenty o’ losers.

Wouldn’t it be great that if instead of always attacking each other, politicians touted their own credentials and plans? Very easy to sit back and criticize and not contribute anything meaningful to the national problems (you listening, trolls?)

Vote by force…..oldest trick in the book

Considering who his constituents are, that should win it for him. They like an aggressive leader, and don’t know when they’ve been insulted.

This touches on why I don’t insult opponents, at least to their faces. I hope they’ll STOP being my opponents. People are less likely to do what you want if doing so amounts to an admission that they’ve been idiots (or something worse) up to this point.

This IS a cornerstone of one of the few basic outlines for commercials: Make a “joke” ad featuring a fictitious customer, depicting how stupid they are. Next commercial break you watch, see how many of these you can spot.

Oh, I don’t know. The whole strategy of attacking potential voters is a very popular strategy right now. Just look at Il Douche’s strong-arm tactics of sending a para-military force against the city of Portland.

So, this is where Trumplethinskin stole that speech.
