She doesn’t need the prop to be cringeworthy.
"…how many have heard of the game Twiiiister (smirks, pauses for delighted laughs of recognition, continues when laughs don’t happen)…
“… she’s claiming to be a < air quotes> freeeeind </ air quotes> to small business…”
Look, to get to be a senator she must have given a speech or two. How can she have learned nothing from the experience?

Is there a little store somewhere near the National Mall that specializes in cringeworthy props? They must do a roaring trade in these soundbite times.

I love how she can simultaneously complain about high grocery prices and price controls to address them.

Like so many GOP metaphors, they have to cheat to make it work the way they want it to.

The funny part is that it’s a homophone (unless you’re intentionally mispronouncing “Kamala”) so all those commie-hating MAGA folks won’t even get to appreciate the wordplay unless someone forces them to read.

Using a prop that’s a reference mostly boomers can relate to, while addressing adults as if they’re seven year olds.
Boom!!
So much winning.

What is wrong with these people that they call ordinary actions criminal?
Is it to dilute the fact that Trump is a criminal? Butwhataboutism?
Ugh. I hate to even group people together, but f*ck them.
Is there any path back to civil discourse?

That’s basically 100% of the MAGA crowd though.

It’s simple:
Inflation (e.g., record profits for corporations) is the fault of the president playing with the “set prices to max” slider in the Oval Office.
Price control measures equal communism or something.

Now to be fair, we’ve had a version of Twister at our kinky camping events, but we also have a fairly strict policies about racism, sexism, and other bigotry which effectively excludes MAGAts from attending. (I suppose such people could attend if they could keep their yaps shut about said bigotry for an entire four days, which means they always get banned from returning.)
No one wants to associate our version of Twister with MAGAts.

It’s gaslighting and blame-shifting. What we have here is a political faction that uses all the tactics of domestic abusers, hence the constant DARVOing. It’s your fault I have to do this to you, because I know the terrible things you are thinking.

I clearly have only played Twister with the wrong people.

I could not stick it.
Is this rhetorical?

She’s a Republican senator for Iowa, which voted Trumpier than Texas in 2020, so she had an easy ride.

What the fuck does radical spending mean? Don’t you want to get to the root of problems so you spend less money in the long term? That sounds reasonable to me.
I know, she probably means spending money in ways she disapproves of. This is just normal Newspeak for a Republican party that doesn’t believe in being a republic anymore, and thinks that the Democratic party are Marxist.
