Summary
Illinois Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton, running in the Illinois Democratic U.S. Senate primary, posted a campaign video featuring footage of multiple people saying, “F— Trump.” The video includes endorsements from Sen. Tammy Duckworth and Gov. JB Pritzker. Stratton declares she will “abolish ICE and hold Trump accountable for the crimes he’s committed.” The White House was reached out for comment.
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
The campaign video follows a familiar format: endorsements, bold statements, and a call to action. The use of profanity towards a former President is presented as a rallying cry. The video ends with a clear message: “Vote Juliana.” The performance is a familiar one, with each participant playing their expected role. The observation that the use of profanity is normalized as a form of political expression is striking.
