KISS Trump With this Simple Message: He's a Spoiled Brat [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-06-03 We have a LOT of tools — weapons — at our disposal to attack Trump with. And we can’t shy away from using any of them; we are at war for the soul of our country, for the health and safety of everyone, starting with women, for the very future of our planet. One such weapon is the 34 felony convictions now hanging around Trump’s neck like a sin placard. Low information voters who have — in a dereliction of their responsibility as citizens — not been paying attention, are now waking up to the fact that the presumptive nominee of the Republican party has been duly judged to be a felon. That is starting to sink in; it’s our job to make sure it does, and stays there, kind of like a stone you can’t shake out of your shoe. But there’s more. Trump is behaving just like a spoiled brat who’s been told to go to his room without supper because he’s been acting like a brat. And he’s doing it openly in front of the cameras, in front of the nation. The voters of this country are mostly parents who are raising or who have raised children. They know what a spoiled brat is like. They know how to handle a spoiled brat. (Well, most of them do. When they don’t, the children grow up to be Trump.) This is, to put it in terms they will relate to, a family values election. Do you really want a spoiled brat becoming a model for your children? Do you really want a spoiled brat in charge of our armed forces and nuclear weapons? Do you really want a spoiled brat representing the United States to the world? Do you really want a spoiled brat in charge of the budget, of deciding which emergency gets help, which disaster gets funding? Do you really want a spoiled brat who believes our beloved country should be his personal cookie jar? Do you want a spoiled brat to be your president? In the 1960s, the Navy promoted the KISS design principle — Keep it simple, Stupid. James Carville adopted that tactic in running Clinton’s successful campaign for the White House. In his case, it was “It’s the economy, stupid.” Now it should be, “It’s the spoiled brat, stupid.” As I said, this is only one of the many weapons we can and need to use in this election. But I submit that it is a powerful one, one that will resonate with parents, one that is simple and can be repeated over and over, one that we don’t have to defend, just repeat. And, importantly, one that will get under Trump’s skin and make him behave even more like the spoiled brat he is, and do it where everyone can see. Mockery is a very effective campaign tool. Do you really want a spoiled brat to be your president? As a side benefit, this also works as an attack on the Republicans: Why are you listening to a spoiled brat? Would you tolerate this behavior from your own children? No? Then why are you putting up with it from him? Why are you acting like spoiled brats yourselves? Maybe you too need to be sent to your rooms. Message to Republicans: Grow up, already! Message to the rest of us: Send them all to their rooms. Without supper.
