Running against the mob
Washington Post:
GOP adopts midterm strategy of recasting Democratic protests as ‘an angry mob’It is more than a characterization. It is a fact. Democrats resorted to mob violence and intimidation tactics in their attempt to stop the Kavanaugh nomination. They adopted Antifa tactics and paid people to "get in the face" of GOP senators and scream at them. Disrupting meals and attempting to intimidate them in and out of elevators. Hysteria is just not a good look when trying to persuade politicians. Democrats managed to motivate GOP voters and turn off independent voters.
The characterization evokes fear of an unknown and out-of-control mass of people, and it taps into grievances about the nation’s fast-moving cultural and demographic shifts that Republicans say are working against them.
