Vibes matter: Trump can hardly restrain his jealousy over the Harris campaign's joy

Julian Zelizer : Donald Trump is master of manipulating people with negativity and fear.

He says Trump supporters are more likely to die of COVID and gun-related homicides than the general population.

Zelizer says negative thoughts lead to aggression and war, but compulsive or repeated negativity makes people physically ill.

The outpouring of enthusiasm for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz suggests voters have grown tired of political negativity.

Walz first tapped the psychological power of calling Trump/Vance “weird” instead of dangerous.

The terms aren’t mutually exclusive, but, Walz intuits, repeatedly warning about how Trump threatens our 250-year-old democracy gives him too much power.

Not only does worrying about Trump ’s Hitler parallels strengthen him, but having Walz defang “socialist” as free lunches for poor students already feels right.
