Democrats have long attempted to brand themselves as the party with the moral high ground. Especially during a time where GOP leaders are the antithesis of politically correct, Democrats have leaned into creating the juxtaposition of ‘us’ versus ‘them.’

While Trump is insulting a disabled veteran, Dems are kneeling with kente cloth to stand in solidarity with Black communities. But Americans seem to be disillusioned by the overly-politically correct party. Trump ran on a ‘for the people’ campaign. And while his administration has fallen short in keeping the promise (unless ‘for the people’ refers to the one percent), his brand is certainly not concerned with playing by the establishment rulebook. 

So this brings us back to Democrats, who have an advantage because they are promoting values that most Americans agree on, but a disadvantage because they are competing with a literal reality TV star for air-time. 

How can Leftist win back some of that air-time? By doing away with the “Nice Guy” politics and playing scrappy. By ditching the politically correct, overly PR trained response and instead, clapping back at the GOP’s rhetoric and theatrics. Let’s have a look at a few of our favorite examples of this digital clapback.
