In the political circus that is the upcoming election, the spotlight has shifted to an entertaining showdown between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. The atmosphere is electric, particularly as the Democrats seem to have opted for a strategy that paints Trump supporters as, well, less than human. It’s no surprise that as the election draws closer, their final argument appears to be little more than a tirade against the former president and his loyal base. The simple truth is, being anti-Trump is not enough if they expect to win over the hearts and minds of American voters.
Throughout the summer, Trump continually engaged in a live commentary of Harris’s speeches, incisively questioning her sanity while ruthlessly counting all her monotonous “thank yous.” If one needed a guide to how many times one could express gratitude without any actual substance, they only needed to tune into Kamala’s DNC speech. Trump noted, and rightfully so, that her thanks to attendees could easily fill a speech all on its own – a rather unimpressive feat for a vice president aiming to inspire.

Those who witnessed the spectacle saw Trump surrounded by top communications strategists and political heavyweights like Tulsi Gabbard. This interactive live feed served as a refreshing diversion from the confusion generated by Biden’s incoherent remarks and Mark Cuban’s latest tirade about strong women not aligning with Trump. It becomes clearer every day that the Democrats are proving to be their own worst enemies, careening from one disaster to the next while expecting voters to rally around them.
As Harris’s campaign deteriorates under the weight of her own contradictions, her public appearances have morphed into rant sessions where she designates Trump as a “danger” and brands him “unstable.” It’s a classic case of deflection, diverting attention from her campaign’s shortcomings by resorting to personal attacks. The admirable quality about this approach? It showcases her desperation. When the bullets of ridicule and negativity are all you’ve got left in the chamber, it seems Harris has chosen to fire wildly rather than aim for the target.
As the campaign month progresses, the stark reality emerges: voters are well aware of the Democrats’ frantic spin. While Kamala Harris may have reached a new zenith of anger, riding the wave of her failing campaign, voters remain hungry for actual substance. Trump’s supporters know all too well that anger and baseless accusations do nothing to fuel real change or inspire hope for a better future. So, despite the Democrats’ implosion, they still have the chance to make noise at the ballot box – and Mitt Romney’s approach won’t win votes in this current climate.
