It can be very effective if it is done over and over without a response. They are using AI to portray Talarico as a girl, in a dress, singing, saying that he is not "masculine". On the positive side, he is not Ken Paxton. At least, he has some sense of morals. Paxton is a scoundrel.
With Platner, they are using "sexting" to attack him. Along with his Nazi tattoo. But, he has apologized for his indiscretions and admits that he is not perfect. He has flaws but at least, he is not Susan Collins. She is one big flaw. She is always "concerned" but does nothing but support policies that hurt this country and use her office for financial benefit. The people can do better than Susan Collins, who said she was only going to run for two terms. She lied.

(22,254 posts)Ridicule and destroying careers with it is SOP. The GOP picked it up for themselves. T's base thrives on the ridicule of the left because it makes them feel better than.
It is such an easy method to create his base and easy to keep feeding the monster.
In 1962, Rachel Carson published Silent Spring. Ridiculing her became a pastime for corporations to stop her from telling the truth - that we are living in now.
