Top Pro-Kamala PAC Says ‘Fascist’ Rhetoric About Trump Isn’t Helping Her
“America, this is not a candidate for president who is thinking about how to make your life better. This is someone who is unstable, obsessed with revenge, consumed with grievance, and out for unchecked power.”
Over the last couple of weeks or so, Democrats and their media allies have ramped up the accusations of “fascism” against GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump in what can only be described as desperate fearmongering designed to scare voters ahead of next week’s election.
Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris has been one of the most vocal in making the baseless claim, saying, “Yes, I do. Yes, I do,” when asked by CNN‘s Anderson Cooper, “Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist?” during the network’s Pennsylvania town hall last Wednesday.
At another point, she declared that the American people don’t want “a president of the United States who admires dictators and is a fascist.”
And though she didn’t use that particular f-word during her underwhelming Ellipse speech Tuesday night, she did have this to say about her opponent after falsely accusing him of wanting to use the military to get revenge on people who don’t agree with him:
“America, this is not a candidate for president who is thinking about how to make your life better. This is someone who is unstable, obsessed with revenge, consumed with grievance, and out for unchecked power.”

Though Harris clearly believes this is a winning strategy, a top pro-Kamala super PAC is saying otherwise:
The leading super PAC supporting Vice President Kamala Harris is raising concerns that focusing too narrowly on Donald J. Trump’s character and warnings that he is a fascist is a mistake in the closing stretch of the campaign.
[…]
In an email circulated to Democrats about what messages have been most effective in its internal testing, Future Forward, the leading pro-Harris super PAC, said focusing on Mr. Trump’s character and the fascist label were less persuasive than other messages.
“Attacking Trump’s Fascism Is Not That Persuasive,” read one line in bold type in the email, which is known as Doppler and sent on a regular basis. “‘Trump Is Exhausted’ Isn’t Working,” read another.
The Times report went on to note that at least one ad the Harris campaign ran with using this messaging was not very effective:
The ad fared relatively poorly in Future Forward’s ad testing, according to results obtained by The New York Times and shared with Democratic allies. After voters were shown the ad, it moved the race between Ms. Harris and Mr. Trump by only 0.7 percentage points, where the most effective ads can shift the matchup by 2 percentage points.
Even Vox.com is calling out how the strategy doesn’t have the impact the Harris campaign no doubt hoped it would, though Vox, too, sprinkled “authoritarian” throughout their story:
But judging by the available data, swing voters are largely unmoved by such assertions, however objectively true and important they may be. Specifically, recent research by political scientists and pollsters suggest that undecided voters are less responsive to negative messages about Trump’s authoritarianism than positive ones about Harris’s economic agenda.
[…]
Survey experiments conducted last week by the Democratic data firm Blue Rose Research — in partnership with the Campaign for a Family Friendly Economy PAC — yielded the same conclusion.
[…]
Spotlighting Trump’s authoritarianism [has] performed especially poorly with blue-collar workers, and best with educated professionals (though even the latter group preferred the populist narrative). That’s potentially significant, since the key Rust Belt battlegrounds — Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin — are all less college-educated than the nation as a whole.
This is insanity. Kamala spent over $10M on ads focused on “Trump is Hitler/Fascist,” and her largest Super PAC said they barely moved the needle, if at all. No wonder they’re in hysterics. pic.twitter.com/NDBbGyX8st

Coupling that with comparing your opponent and his supporters to Nazis, as Democrat vice presidential nominee Tim Walz did, and calling them “garbage” as President Joe Biden did, and one would be hard-pressed to understand how anyone with a lick of common sense could believe these were good messaging strategies.
Then again, as Kamala Harris has shown us time and time again, the answer to Democrat failures is to double down on them, so there’s that, I guess.

if her minions ever really knew/figured out that THEY ARE THE NAZIS
man,,we;d have a great laugh
I think that Trump and his supporters calling Harris and her supporters Nazis, Fascists, and Communists doesn’t help Trump at all. A pox on all of them.
Speaking of which, did your doc confirm it was mpox?
Labeling Trump as a fascist is slander, because there is no evidence to support this claim. Even the so-called gotcha moment from John Kelly has been thoroughly refuted.
But in the case of Harris, her father really is a Marxist. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/harris-father-marxist-economist/
No one cares what you think, troll.
“I think…”
Assumes facts not in evidence.
I cant believe that no one brings up the lefts attacks on sara palin when she was running as vp
the nonstop calls for physical violence against her etc etc
I miss Sarah, thought she’d be part of this campaign
Also, I’ve seen way too many ads where Kamala says .. “I believe Trump …”
Well, it’s pretty obvious she know nothing.
I also found myself yelling at this stupid old lady claiming that Trump is going to destroy Social Security and Medicare. Then moment later a Trump ad saying the opposite. Especially when Kamala broke the tie on the Inflation Reduction Act that stole Medicare money to pay for EVs.
Speaking of which, DW informs me that next year Medicare will have no “donut hole” (which has existed for decades!) during which I have to pay mucho dinero for any pricey prescriptions. When I asked her, “How the hell they gonna manage that,” she pointed me at the Inflation Reduction 🤣 Act.
Now, I’m hardly surprised that Democrats threw money they don’t have into a program they can’t sustain in order to buy votes. But I am surprised that after years of being the patsy, this time I actually landed a piece of the grift.
Doesn’t matter. Go, Trump!
Biden’s place in history is cemented. When he took power, BRICS was 5 countries, now it is 23 countries and 58% of the world. The Kazan Declaration of 4.25 billion people is a total repudiation of Globalist Joe. It rips Biden sanctions abuses as “disruptive …unlawful … unilateral …coercive … and illegal”. It condemns the Middle East War and backs Russia over Joe’s proxy war to expand NATO. It explains how they are skirting the Biden-inflation US dollar as “minimizing trade barriers and non-discriminatory access”. BRICS pledges to keep growing thru ‘security’ and integration with the Global South. Biden is described as a threatening, criminal, warmonger by 3/5ths of the world, and if asked, the Global South would make it 4/5ths.
It’s actually really scary
Watched a montage of her speeches last night. Playing them in unison, there is a singular voice repeating the same lines again and again. It it eerie and telling.
Last night she sounded like the fascist.
“NEVER AGAIN!!!! NEVER AGAIN!!! NEVER AGAIN!!!!”
Not only does crone-harlot-dunce, Harris, sound like a goose-stepping fascist, she sounds like a totally unhinged and psychopathic toddler.

I love to ask why didn’t he do it the first time around just to hear the pretzel logic of an explanation.
I love the new “out for unchecked power” babble. Conservatives are the ones who are looking to check power – to abide by the Constitution, which sets limits on the federal government and people populating it. It is the anti-American dems who hate the Constitution and want to concentrate power in the White House (which they have done in serious, dangerous ways through the illegitimate tenures of Barky and Traitor Joe).
“Unchecked power” … LOL. The dems are even beyond farce … which would be okay if they were relegated to the loony bins, where they really belong.
Of course, the rest of Harris’ ridiculous speech (that she gives over and over and over and over, never even changing her friggin hand gestures – which is very interesting and difficult for her since she is usually wild and weird with her hands flailing around continuously as she speaks) is laughable projection, too … but this new “unchecked power” push is just on another level of idiocy.
It’s all red meat for the base. And stale meat at that. Confirmed Trump supporters will be unmoved (they’ve heard it all before), and independents who do even a casual level of research could be turned off by it.
This is the truth. None of this rhetoric is meant to convince anyone or attract undecideds. It’s meant to keep the base stirred up… which means the Democrats aren’t getting the totals they want for early voting. They’re resorting to fear to counter apathy.
At another point, she declared that the American people don’t want “a president of the United States who admires dictators and is a fascist.”
You want to go there, Kamaltoe? Your bud Zero had (has?) a hard on for Chinese dictators….
Well, actually, their daughters.
I saw earlier today where Arnold Schwarzenegger had endorsed Harris.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/10/rino-screw-your-freedom-arnold-schwarzenegger-endorses-kamala/
In the story, Ahnold was quoted as saying “And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.”
Well, Arnold, a “Screw your freedom!” American is called a Democrat. In the case of RINO politicians like you, they’re trans-Republicans: Democrats pretending to be Republicans in order to con people into voting for them, and then un-tucking and revealing their true character after the votes are cast.
Disappointing. Arnold was a big Reagan supporter. He is the quintessential American success story and should understand better than anyone the virtues of a pro-business, low-tax, pro-entrepreneurial environment and a president who facilitates those conditions and policies. He should know better.
This is about Arnold attempting to curry favor with the Hollywood elites, who are all Dhimmi-crats. Ditto for Dwayne Johnson, Dave Bautista and the rest of the Hollywood actor class who contemptibly endorsed Harris.
Dwayne ‘the rock’ Johnson is not endorsing anyone in 2024. He never endorsed Trump but his complaints about wokeness hint that he knows that Trump is right.
Good to hear. I had assumed that Johnson had endorsed Harris, after endorsing the wretched Biden-Harris ticket, in 2020. Still galls me to this day, the ridiculous video that the guy put out, lavishing praise upon the ticket, in a transparently self-serving stunt intended to protect his career.
Arnold was never a solid conservative, but he came into the governor’s office like gangbusters and he was doing okay … until he made the fully correct and justified “girlymen” comment about the dems and the media and all the left went after him. That was it. Arnold folded at that point and was nothing but a lapdog to the dems after that.
The Dhimmi-crats are so contemptibly and brazenly arrogant, obnoxious and narcissistic, they think they can successfully win/steal elections, after insulting half of the voting-age population.
Facist rhetoric is not her problem. Her problem is that she is the worst candidate in the history of the world. And all the kings horses and all the kings men cannot put enough perfume on her to cover up that horrible rotten odor.
The had to dig deep to find one worse that Hillary but I think the did it.
Well if Arnold is t voting for Trump
I’ll need to take my vote back
Dear God
Is Trump planning on invading Ethiopia?
“America, this is not a candidate for president who is thinking about how to make your life better. This is someone who is unstable, obsessed with revenge, consumed with grievance, and out for unchecked power.”
I know you are but what am I?
“This is someone who is unstable, obsessed with revenge, consumed with grievance, and out for unchecked power.”
And since unhinged projection is their signature mental disturbance, you know who she is really describing.
She looks like the girl who stops you on the way to the bathroom to tell you Stacey is no friend of yours.
As of Tuesday the presidential betting odds also say it is not helping Harris. Trump’s average eclipsed 60%.
We might actually be seeing a bit of fatigue from the communists. It is impossible to keep people at a rolling boil for over a decade without some burnout. Most of us Trump people had a 4-year break in there where we got to enjoy life. However, I don’t think the communists ever get to enjoy life, they have to be constant activists even when they guy is in charge because there’s always another new “current thing”
The left most definitely does not enjoy life.
“America, this is not a candidate for president who is thinking about how to make your life better. This is someone who is unstable, obsessed with revenge, consumed with grievance, and out for unchecked power.”
I had to read the article to see if this was a Kamala quote, or just a fair description of her.
“‘Specifically, recent research by political scientists and pollsters suggest that undecided voters are less responsive to negative messages about Trump’s authoritarianism than positive ones about Harris’s economic agenda.'”
Wouldn’t she need to have a positive agenda in the first place? Hasn’t that been the problem with her campaign all along? When asked what her plans are for the country, she talks about being from a middle class family. What would she do different from Joe? She has no idea. Calling Trump a fascist is all she has.
