This “joy” campaign is a sugar high. Issues matter and they’ll be front and center after the convention.

They’re basically test marketing to see if anything has traction. My guess is Joy won’t but I’m not a dim so who knows.

great visual. Harris is full of *joy* while citizens feel the pain at the pump and elsewhere. I’m thinking *joy* is just a euphemism for sh*t. She and Tim are just full of *joy*

in the cartoon, Ren was forced to be happy by a control mechanism. IMHO, while the use of "joy" on the surface is to address the kackling on serious issues, at a deeper level, the Democrat's/Uniparty's idea of 'joy' is akin to Klaus Schwab's "you will own nothing and be happy(or else)".

If you want to see and feel joy here is a 36 second meme of Trump & Musk breakdancing. I can’t stop grinning.

I don’t care who we ran, DeSantis, Haley, Reagan, No one can compete with a MSM that is 100% behind the other candidate. They push the narrative. They sell that Narrative. And they continue to hammer that narrative day after day, week after week. They let Kamala get away without doing news conference. They let here move forward with zero policies. If all this continues WE CANNOT WIN because we cannot counter this machine. This isn’t doom and gloom, ITS JUST REALITY.

Kamala laughs at everything and to the point that it is frequently inappropriate. She can’t help herself. It is almost to the point of idiocy, her being so stupid that everything seems funny to her. There is way to hide this tendency but to keep her away from the public. Since that is impossible, she is being called joyful. Tell us she is full of joy and hide her in the basement.

Might be worth noting that Biden’s very much standardized debate process usually involved laughter intended to ridicule.

In retrospect the Ryan Biden debate revealed the Swamp in all its glory. They had their little shared bits of chuckling at the act they were both putting on. All intended to celebrate how polite they were to the opposition and how their gentlemanly nature was all a part of how elites in Washington can always find a way to work together.

“We may disagree but we will never be disagreeable.”

This is the scum that has generated $36T in debt as of November. Their elite qualifications have done that.

Political careerists should be evaluated as objects of disgust, not admired for “their lifetime of public service.”

Joy must be in the latest talking points and the mockingbird media “joyfully” go along.

Frequent inappropriate and too-vigorous laughter at things that aren’t funny is always a cover for deep insecurities. It’s a defensive shield the insecure and incompetent person throws up to protect themselves.

J.O.Y. It’s an acronym; a political cry: Jews Ousted, Yes!

“Obliterated” would be preferred by some.
