    So Republican men are obsessed with penises, and apparently Republican women are as well.

    Democrats should be turning the GOP into a laughing stock with this situation. Making some innuendo jokes about “like father like son” to imply that Joe is hung like a horse, or make some jokes implying MTG isn’t getting any at home, so she’s lusting after some Democratic sausage. Basically make it very humiliating for Republicans to continue to push this issue.

    Unfortunately, as usual, I just don’t see them doing it. There might some jokes being made online, but Democrats as a party don’t seem to really be attacking the GOP on this with dirty, underhanded attacks.

      Effectiveness of this suggestion hinges on Rs having shame and/or decency. It’s almost prerequisite to not have such a thing to get voted in.

        Republicans only represent 1/3 of the public. If 2/3rds of the public is laughing at them, that’s more than good enough.

          In the early 20th century the KKK went into sharp decline due to an exposee on their initiation practices, and suddenly the (white) public found them to be a really silly group of frat boys rather than a serious organization to ever consider being recruited to

            Turning your opponent into a joke is one of the best methods of attack, especially in cases where the threat is very serious. War propaganda the world over characterizes a nation’s enemy as some bumbling idiot. Hogan’s Heroes, the TV show, did a great job at portraying the very serious issue of Nazis and made them look like a joke. Democrats are so bad at marketing and going after their opponents though that they’ll never do anything.
