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.
In a move to strengthen regional stability and provide humanitarian support, Guyana’s National Assembly has approved $123 million (approximately $587,940 USD) for CARICOM nations, Diaspora Watch can report. This decision was made during the 89th Sitting of the National Assembly, where Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Hugh Todd, emphasized the government’s commitment to supporting its neighbors in need.
Diaspora Watch was told the funds will primarily support Haiti, which has been plagued by severe gang violence, resulting in over 2,500 people killed or wounded between January and March this year. Recall that the violence has led to a shortage of food, water, and other essential items, further exacerbating the humanitarian crisis. Minister Todd highlighted Guyana’s history of providing support to its Caribbean neighbors, citing the recent example of Hurricane Beryl, which devastated several Small Islands Developing States (SIDS) in the region.
Guyana provided contributions in kind to affected OECS countries, demonstrating its commitment to regional solidarity. The approval of these funds comes on the heels of a recent meeting between Heads of Government of Caribbean nations in Guyana, where they discussed the pressing issues of crime and gang violence in the region. The meeting highlighted the need for collective action to address these challenges, which have resulted in a 154% increase in regional security budgets between 2019 and 2024. In July, Guyana provided its first shipment of relief aid to Grenada, comprising vital items such as generators, water purification tablets, and hygiene products. This donation demonstrates Guyana’s commitment to providing tangible support to its neighbors in need.
