Republicans as Whiny Victims and Funnel Cake Dad

from The DNC Chick & Sunken Superyachts | The Tim Dillon Show #406 · #406

4 min

Tim argues Republicans are losing by playing the victim, praises JD Vance ("funnel cake dad") for a moment involving his crying son, and questions who's running the Trump campaign's messaging.

In this bit7 moments
  • Tim argues that presenting yourself as a perpetual victim is the least interesting way to live — cynics stay pleasantly surprised while victims get constantly rolled.
  • Republicans need to stop appearing sad and claiming they've been treated unfairly, because nobody cares about hearing that.
  • Tim doesn't like the people of the Lakes and doesn't agree with funnel cake dad, but admits he did a good job at the protest.
  • Republicans making snide comments about the kid crying because he's proud of his father is the wrong direction for the campaign.
  • There's no message discipline from the Republicans — Tim genuinely wonders if everyone running the campaign is drunk or on drugs.
  • Democrats can only celebrate when the 'crazy' person becomes a woman or lady, regardless of whether it's true, because appearance matters in politics.
  • In a political campaign, it doesn't matter if what they're saying will actually happen — none of it will.
