America’s Reaganesque Mom: How to Praise Katie Britt, Even Before She Spoke
Talking points from the Alabama senator’s team, helpfully sent out before the State of the Union address, suggested how to extol her delivery of the Republican response.

March 7, 2024

Senator Katie Britt’s team hoped viewers would see her response to President Biden’s State of the Union as Reaganesque — but also, very maternal.

Before President Biden even arrived at the Capitol on Thursday night, a close ally of the Alabama Republican sent a document of talking points to conservative influencers suggesting words of praise they could offer after Ms. Britt’s speech.

“She came off like America’s mom — she gets it,” the document helpfully suggested. “She’s one of us. That’ll be families’ takeaway watching this.”

But Ms. Britt also came across like Ronald Reagan, it declared. “The conclusion of her border section was a real ‘Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall,’ moment,” another talking point said, referring to Reagan’s historic speech in Berlin.

Ms. Britt, who at 42 is the youngest Republican woman ever elected to the Senate, is on Donald J. Trump’s short list of potential running mates, according to two people with direct knowledge of the list.

The talking points compared her State of the Union response to some of the most famous oratory in American history, calling it “reminiscent of Reagan’s message of that Shining City on a Hill.”

Comparing Ms. Britt to Mr. Biden, the document suggested saying that “it wasn’t just the massive age gap/contrast between the two” but that Ms. Britt “exposed a relatability gap — a truly generational schism.”

Mr. Biden is 81. Mr. Trump is 77.

A spokesman for Ms. Britt did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

“His speech was tone deaf,” the talking points declared, before either Mr. Biden or Ms. Britt had uttered a word. “Hers was the perfect pitch.”

Yeah, abuse is super loving rampant in the christian churches at literally every level and every denomination, and it's normalized to gently caress and back. You'll never guess what the biggest child-training book was in 1994, or who wrote it!

I don't think being a mom makes her either relatable, it provides no insight in their competence of being a mother, now how it relates to leading the government.

It's virtue signalling the christofascists and telling everyone she's one of them. That's it.

Well well, mister fancy-pants, I hope you're wearing your matching sweater today, or you'll be cut down like the ugly tree you are.

Reminds me of how we got a new executive VP at my work, and whenever we put out a new release or gained a big new customer, he'd make a post on Linkedin and send an email to my entire organization straight-up asking us all to like and comment on it. He even had a good dozen pre-written comments for us to post if we weren't feeling creative! GO TEAM! :nallears:

It was about as successful as his attempt to get us all to return to the office.

They specifically and explicitly want someone like King Solomon again. Nevermind all the biblical poo poo that Solomon did wrong that was directly against God's will, these people really just want to be told what to think, do and speak by people they put their trust in (people who can give off the veneer of success or money since money == goodness in american christian prosperity nonsnse).

when Donald Trump, formerly Manhattan's Horniest Millionaire, ascends to the golden throne of The Holy American Empire as Emperor Donald I in 2025, flawed though he is, he will be an imperfect tool of God and enact The Lord's will by outlawing all recreational sex ever, etc, etc, Gilead, whatever

A lot of younger Millennials and Gen Z will not find someone with a huge rear end suburban kitchen and nuclear family "relateable" because we're too busy living in studio apartments that cost 1500+ easy with barely enough counter space to cut an onion and/or renting rooms from private landlords while living paycheck-to-paycheck, even if we're making money that's decent on paper for
once

I caught it pretty instantly and I'm from a fundamentalist christian upbringing. Definitely bigger in the evangelical/pentecostal scene, but that poo poo has spread through the non-denom side like wildfire (because they're just pentecostals without a church to try and rein in their sex offenders). Same voice my mom uses to this day, same voice I heard every teacher at every Christian school use. It's gross, it's creepy, and it's absolutely icky. Welcome to hell, buddy.

I think it's funny that the only narrative today is "Biden did pretty good! Threw shade at the fascists, and sounded completely coherent!" and "LOL! Did you see that creepier than poo poo Republican rebuttal?" And absolutely nothing as far as I can tell about Trump's Truth Social thing.

That said, does anybody know whatever happened with Trump's stupid thing? Did it even happen?

I think it's wild that the state is powerless against death threats other than maybe dispatching a cop or two to stand near you for a week. You're telling me with the surveillance tools available there's no way to track down the guy who used his home/cell phone to call someone and say they want to murder a judge/congressman/whatever? There's no way to try or prosecute that person? lol?

why didn't they shoot that guy who was going to bash Pelosi's husband to death with a hammer lol
