"...The entire GOP has leaned hard into toxic masculinity and often overt misogyny...."

I don't think Tr**p is scared at all. Instead, Harris gives him a foil to direct his misogyny. He may need to be a little 'careful' in dishing it out, but he'll likely double down, not back off. He needs to secure the - don't want no woman as president - male vote.

“…Trump is terrified of Kamala Harris because she will put his violent misogyny in the spotlight…”

And in the classic “I’ll show you misogyny”, he will resort to trademark brutal & personal attacks. Putting it all on display has worked most of the time.

I think the contrast is not going to work for Trump. He'll retain his cult, of course, but the fence sitters are going to jump to Kamala Harris.

Once again, your optimism is inspiring.
I’m with you and feeling good about today’s bump.
But it’s going to be a long three months.

Apologies if I sound like a mansplainer because I hate that. My understanding is that the party's conventions end with a bump for the candidate. The MAGAs just had their Trump Convention and here we are with Kamala not even the official candidate, and in two days, she gets a bump. Wait till the Democratic Convention in August and see what the polls look like after that. My bet is she will have a 4% to 8% lead. Just pulling numbers out of my backside here, but trying to not be overly optimistic but realistic.

Not mansplaining at all.
A 4% lead is HUGE by today's metrics.
8% would be a paradigm shift.
If true, your backside spits gold.
