One of the tells about where campaigns stand is the mood they project. Winners tend to be having fun and speaking broadly about the future, while losers tend to seem frenetic and desperate.

Call it a “vibe,” if you like. It’s not that vibes are infallible indicators, but they definitely are evidence of what is going on behind the scenes in campaigns. 

Earlier today I wrote about the stench of stinky flop sweat that exudes from the Democrats right now. They are screaming HITLER!!!, babbling incoherently, and darkly warning about the end of democracy unless we go out to vote for them. 

Trump? He went to McDonalds and served food to people. 

That is a HUGE vibe difference. Democrats seethed for days about Trump doing what would normally be a simple photo opportunity. In a very real way, their rage made the visit iconic in a way that Trump himself could not. He broke their narrative and broke their souls. 

J.D. Vance, the articulate spokesman for the movement (Trump is the flash and personality, while Vance is the man who articulates what it all means), was on Chris Cuomo’s News Nation show and, as usual, hit the ball out of the park. But what was more remarkable than his articulation of the ideas was his message about what should really matter to people. 

For all the talk about “unity” on the left, their message is 100% hate. All hate, all the time. HITLERSTALINMUSSOLINISEALTEAMSIXMURDER. It all runs together into a kind of hate that you usually see before pogroms, which I suppose is on brand for the radical left these days.

Vance, though, said this. 

It is a lovely message:

“We’ve got to be better at communicating and talking to one another. The biggest thing I worry about and we talk threats to democracy — that’s a term that you hear a lot — to me, the biggest threat to democracy is the rising tide of censorship. The idea that we should be trying to silence our fellow Americans rather than persuade them and talk to them. That’s always going to — that’s always going to lead to people being pissed because they don’t like being told what to think or what to say. They like to talk to one another and that one thing that I’ll always commit to. As your vice president for the next four years, I’ll always try to talk to people. We’ll go out there and do events with people who disagree with us. We’ll answer questions from people who don’t always see eye to eye, but I think if we set the tone from the top, the leadership of this country is all about communicating with one another, I think that’s how we start to heal the divide, but we all have a role in it. And one final point I’ll say about this. You know, don’t get too personal all the time, but you know, one of the things I’ve seen, especially from, you know, some of my wife’s friends and some of my friends is they disagree with us on politics sometimes they’ll get very personal about it. And, if you’re discarding a lifelong friendship because somebody votes for the other team, then you’ve made a terrible, terrible mistake and you should do something different.

If you contrast that with Harris’ closing message, you get a sense of what is going on behind the scenes. Kamala Harris has run the most hate-filled, violence-inspiring campaign. I don’t know a Republican who doesn’t expect serious violence, riots, and murders by leftists if Donald Trump wins. And it’s not conspiracy theorizing to expect that. It has been the M-O of Democrats for years. 

January 6th, 2021 stood out so much because Republicans aren’t violent. Riots were everywhere in 2020, and the Democrats egged them on. Kamala Harris raised money to bail out the rioters, and Tim Walz spoke highly of the rioters until things turned so ugly that he had to quell them after days of praising them.

As Trump and his team project fun, happiness, and optimism, Kamala Harris and her team have come unhinged. As I wrote earlier today, Harris and her influencers are spewing hate nonstop, and her closing message seems to be this:

That is not a happy warrior asking for votes. That is, dare I say it, exactly what a fascist looks like when she sets the mob on her political opponents. 

J.D. Vance is clearly speaking from the heart, asking Americans to come together. Our fellow Americans are not deplorable. It’s the elites who are.
