Summary

Republican vice-presidential candidate J.D. Vance faced intense backlash after calling Vice President Kamala Harris “trash” during a rally in Atlanta, a comment that MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace described as a major misstep.

Wallace and other commentators noted that such rhetoric, following Vance’s past controversial remarks about “childless cat ladies,” could alienate female voters—a demographic the Republican ticket already struggles with.

The “trash” comment is part of a broader trend among Trump’s supporters, who have recently used “garbage” imagery in their rhetoric.

    If someone is undecided at this point, they’re either disingenuous and embarrassed about their support for Trump, or they’re a moron.

      I had a random conversation today with someone that knew absolutely nothing about politics and wasn’t sure about voting. I would guarantee you that if Harris herself talked to this person they would go vote for her.

      Here we have some serious selection bias. Not necessarily right vs left, but interested enough to be commenting about it on the fediverse.

      You have to remember these are just simple farmers.
      These are people of the land.
      The common clay of the new west.
      You know…

        Sheriff murdered, crops burned, stores looted, people stampeded…and cattle raped.

        Now the time has come to act…and act fast.

        I’m leaving.
