"Rage is a poor weapon for stopping or overcoming his excesses and undermining his hold on power. It amounts to investing everything in Trump's very own cryptocurrency of mindless resentment and vengefulness."
"Juliana Stratton posted a come-from-behind victory in the Illinois Senate primary shortly after launching that ad. And while her victory arguably owed more to massive late spending on her behalf by Governor J.B. Pritzker than to her ad F-bombing Trump."
Democrats expressing anger towards Trump is justified due to his behavior. However, using rage as a strategy is ineffective against his influence. The resistance movement risks becoming futile, as seen with Katie Porter and Juliana Stratton's campaigns, which utilized provocative messaging. Stratton's campaign ad featuring the phrase "F- Trump" gained attention and led to her primary victory, but it was likely due to significant financial backing rather than the ad's impact alone. This approach raises questions about the effectiveness of anger-driven strategies in political campaigns.
