I mean, it's resonating with voters. I [b]agree with whomever said upthread that this is an "Emperor has no clothes" type of moment[/b]. Trump's cult has been alienating regular Americans for a long time, but we've all been kind of quietly watching and hoping they'll go away.

But now that we have broken the seal, there's just so much to talk about. [/quote]

At risk of being earnest on DCUM, there's actual political science research and international best practice to call on here. Along with voter mobilization and nonviolent protests, one of the most effective tools for combating autocrats is to make them look ridiculous. Autocrats and aspirant autocrats often are ridiculous, in part because they have purged anyone from the inner circle who might tell them that attacking "cat ladies" is a losing proposition, and that showing off your gold plated toilet is just weird.

The legitimacy of an autocrat-aspirant is their perceived strength. If you can poke holes in that, they are left with nothing. [/quote]
