I wonder if Democrats are going to regret leaving behind the Kamala Harris’ “joy” campaign and switching to beating up on Trump. The decline in Harris poll ratings largely coincided with that change in tone.
The whole “Trump is too awful to elect” thing asks voters to ignore what they experienced living through a Trump presidency and conclude that in a second term he’d be an entirely different guy. Actually, he probably will be somewhat different in that he’ll be on his guard against efforts by the federal bureaucracy to stymie his initiatives.
If you were an adult during Trump’s first term he is a known “commodity” to you. About him you’ve formed an opinion which various announcements and claims by opponents are unlikely to change.
Democrats probably fear Trump will try to do to them what they tried to do to him. When he is in their shoes why won’t he make the same lawfare efforts they’ve made? He has their example to follow and to cite.
