One word about Trump that creates immediate dislike: Trump is a ..."BULLY"

[Stuart G]

The word "bully" pictures an awful, pushy, and mean person. That is who Donald Trump is/was/ and will always be. Most of us dislike "bullies." I think that the more we spread that word around to describe Trump, the bully, more people will see him for who he is. He is a bully. He will do anything to get his way. After calling him a "bully" then we can bring up that he tried to get information on Biden and Biden's son, so he ..."could bully his way into another four years.
..I believe the more we use that word in discussions with unsure voters, or even mild Trumpers,,(not strong believers) the more chance we have of winning. Why? Most of us have very bad impressions & memories of bullies, and most of us from our deepest gut, hate bullies.
...Lastly and most important,.... "Trump is a bully" and does push people around to get his way.

....... So, this word is the truth. Yes, Trump is a bully and he is known as one, and has always been one. So, use that word as much as possible with neutrals, and mild Trumpers. That word will immediately help to sway people to our candidate whoever that person is.

1. I'm not so sure. Being a bully is a feature and not a bug as far as his cult is concerned.

They like it that he bullies the people they hate - immigrants, PoC, uppity women.

4. Yes, his cult likes that word.. But 68 percent of all of us, are not in his cult. His cult may like

his actions of bullying others. (there is a question as to how large the true cult is)
But the huge majority of us, all of us, (even many Republicans) do not like bullies. The more we make this Trump's word, the more I think the word will work against him. Also, it is very hard to argue that Trump is not a bully.

8. I agree

Nonauthoritarians have a visceral dislike of bullies. It’s a great shorthand description of the overal kind of person he is.

2. speaking of bullies, he is not the only one in the game these days nt

3. we don't think like his supporters. To them, it is all about his perceived "strength" & willingness

to use it--even in malicious manner--especially against those perceived to be "worthy" of such abuse.

[Stuart G]

5. The question is how many people think like that? What percentage of the population are

deep Trump supporters who have an attitude.."about his perceived "strength & willingness to use it, even in malicious manner.." I really don't know.

6. Enough to have elected him in 2016 and not a lot of signs they have left the cult...

That's why all this talk of "my candidate or no vote" is so damned distressing.

7. I like it and a pretty darn good frame, right there.

9. You need a more abstract word, like SLEAZE. Something that means something different to each person.

.

The word bully is a concrete word. Some people admire bullies.

When someone hears abstract words, like sleaze or slime, they have many meanings, all bad and people will generally attribute their worst impression of those words. As they are abstract, it's harder to claim their use constituted slander, because TEHO (To Each His Own).
