Democrats Unleash A New Era Of Sarcasm And Joy In Campaigning
Michelle Obama’s rousing speech at the Democratic National Convention marked a turning point in the campaign, as she tore into Donald Trump’s racist attacks and narrow worldview with sharp wit and sarcasm. “Who’s gonna tell him that the job he’s currently seeking might just be one of those Black jobs?!” she exclaimed, leaving the crowd electric.
This was not the Michelle Obama of 2016, who famously advised Democrats to “go high.” This was a stronger, sassier, and more direct leader, unafraid to call out Trump’s lies and nonsense. Her husband, Barack Obama, followed suit, making a hand gesture that mocked the size of Trump’s genitals.
Democrats have finally figured out that “going low” can be a powerful rhetorical strategy. Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign has been sending out snarky press releases, and Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz has popularized calling Republicans “weird.” The party is learning to have fun while still conveying the gravity of the moment.

Throughout the week, DNC organizers have aired videos of Trump’s direct words, showcasing his lies and attacks. Many convention speakers have landed sick burns and digs at Trump, including Shawn Fain, who led the crowd in chants of “Trump’s a scab!”, and Steve Kerr, who dunked on Trump in his speech.
It’s a new era for Democrats, and they’re just getting started.
