Republican overconfidence

[BradStevens]

For the last 30 years, it feels like after every election or two we get a spate of articles and public sentiment about how one party is dead or in shambles and might never win again. Recently, that’s led to a lot of overconfidence from the winning party and a desire for them to do too much while in power or in their messaging. I think the Dems did precisely that over the last 4 years.

Are Republicans now on the verge of doing the same? Will they push back on this kind of messaging that appears intentionally to have a sinister double meaning? Because if stuff like that his continues, they will poison the well (even more) with a generation of women voters.

It took less than twenty-four hours after Trump’s reëlection for young men to take up a slogan that could define the coming era of gendered regression: “Your body, my choice.”

Trump and Vance just won. They have four years in front of them. I don't think it would cost them a thing to come out and say that messaging is counter productive, let's pick another.

You can do that with anything. Like Biden calling Trump supporters garbage. But language and stuff like this that takes off on Twitter has real effects. Again, this is just so easy, so risk-free for Vance to drop a Tweet "Let's fight, let's be humorous, but let's be smart about our language."

From that article (that is slanted and ridiculous at some points):

On Election Night, Fuentes tweeted, “Your body, my choice. Forever.” Young men began parroting him, commenting “Your body, my choice” on young women’s social-media accounts; the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, a think tank focussed on extremism, found, within a twenty-four-hour period, a “4,600% increase in mentions of the terms ‘your body, my choice’ and ‘get back in the kitchen’ on X”

I hadn't heard about it until my neighbor brought it up. He's worried about someone saying this to his teenage daughter, which I laughed off, but had to admit that this messaging and phrasing is ill-conceived.

I kept thinking about Rosie’s side boob in White Men Can’t Jump after seeing her at the fight last night.

Sometimes in the mid 80s, Patrick Caddell said that the Democrats would not win another election in the 20th century. The growth of southern states was too much to overcome. That didn't pan out.

Elections are snapshots of a moment in time. The moment of November 5, 2024 will never return.

I think that we have an overly online group of people in the country. I have seen one guy online post that comment and he is a racist douche canoe. I imagine there have been some other lovely trolls here and there saying that phrase but people need to get offline. It isn't reality.

Of course they are. They'll never learm and neither with the Democrats.

To do so would suggest they have any equity in the messaging to begin with.

And I don’t think they do. Nick Fuentes is a kook and I just don’t buy into the notion that politicians should feel obliged to denounce things that random people say.

I would think differently if he did have any equity in it - if it was said by somebody on their campaign or something like that.
