"beyond weird" to the literal-minded perhaps. It's actually a simple formula Trump perfected early in his 2016 presidential campaign. "Crazy like a fox"?https://x.com/marlene4719

"Imbecile Vance strikes again. He claims people would have more kids if it wasn’t for those pesky car seat laws. This is beyond weird." #540
Trump then refined his skill at releasing alarming, and therefore seemingly news-worthy, statements. Trump even demonstrated the discipline to limit such attention-grabbers to the news cycle.
Some estimate Trump obtained about a $Billion dollars worth of free publicity with that technique, also gaining the white house, losing the vote, winning the election.
As Trump's protégé, Vance is using the same technique with similar affect.
Car seat laws suppress population growth? Silly? Of course. BUT !!
It's absurd enough less than 2 months from election day to have entered public discourse.
We fall into the trap by repeating it, amplifying the ridiculous message.
The way to fight back? What did KamHar say today?
