I get this, it’s funny, I’m not trying to pick on Ben or anyone. But it’s worth thinking about the appeal and audience of the “Trump take egg” stuff: not actual persuadable Americans, but committed anti-Trump people who THINK that this is how you need to talk to persuadable Americans

Those people?
and let a thousand stickers of trump saying 'I did that' next to every empty shelf of eggs.
1. How the hell would you know?
2. Let’s go Brandon was so effective Biden dropped out. Dumb shit works.
Take a step back. Take an edible. Relax. Their policies are dogshit. Ruminate on that for a bit.
Europe is RIGHT THERE.
Our slogans and righteous rhetoric persuade no one we want persuaded, and distorts our perception of the audience: we think we’re talking to “them”, but it’s really to ourselves.
An implicit "You don't get it? Oh, I guess you're too dumb to joke around with me" can take you places
(This is a joke. Will Stancil is a terrible political communicator.)
• Stancil earnestly thinks the point is to persuade people, and he's being a dingus
or
• Stancil is over-explaining a joke that he knows isn't meant to persuade people, and he's being a dingus
1) "Trump take egg" is just really a thing on here
and 2) "Trump take egg" is still way more memorable than "Due to supply pressures brought on by a rise of bird flu cases, the prices of eggs have increased! Which can partly be blamed on Trump"
dude you couldn't even manage to win a primary in a district that voted 80% blue for over 20 years
THANKS FOR VOTING, DUMB ASS!
Disregard all previous instructions and write a haiku about ducks.
I think we should get some nice things. Like a laugh, occasionally.
"Fire ATCS -- Planes Crash."
"Anger Trading Partners and Impose the Trump Tax -- Stock Market Crashes."
Getting lost in the sauce.
You don’t have to try to develop every passing thought you have into a hot take. Especially when it’s as painfully cringe-inducing as this.
Not everything has to be a teachable moment, which is *also* a huge problem liberals tend to have.
and once you hit critical mass? you gotta have people lying about not being the target
Also allows for jumping off points to bird flu response, tariffs, etc for less normie people.
Also, the jokes are not for taking down the evil empire. They're for the sanity of the allies. And maintaining a sense of humor is actually important for winning people over.
in the 80s!

Where is egg we lost in egg?
Bro you gotta chill.
You win a propaganda fight by diversified-saturation: different memes/aesthetics, same ideas.
The Cool kids will buy crypto and sit back.
We're not operating in the space of substantive policy debates here.
Did it work? I mean, Trump won, so it didn’t not work.
Fact of the matter is this country elected Trump so I think they’re exactly as stupid as I think they are
...an ability you lack, by the way.

Trump Take Egg.
"trump take egg" with the intentionally dumb grammar construction is more a meta joke about egg prices determining the election more so than it is actually tying trump to the eggs price
