"What Harris appeared to understand, better than anyone else who has debated Trump, is that the key to defeating him is to trigger him psychologically. She did it by repeatedly calling him 'weak,' mocking him, acting bemused by him, and literally laughing at him."

Kamala Harris Broke Donald Trump

In their first face-to-face meeting, the Democratic nominee humiliated the former president.

The Atlantic

"As he lost control of events, Trump became enraged, his voice bellowing into an empty room, his face not just orange but nearly fluorescent. Trump realized that his opponent—and not just any opponent, but a woman of color—was dominating him. And so even as Trump exploded, he was, like a dying supernova, shrinking before our eyes."

"We’ve been waiting a long time for that, haven’t we—the validation, the satisfaction, the sheer joy of watching a man who so richly deserves it to be humiliated, eviscerated, and dominated."

Dominance and Catharsis

Finally

The Good in Us by Mary L. Trump

"Not only did Vice President Kamala Harris expose my uncle’s weakness on the debate stage last night, which left him seething with rage and reduced to sputtering incoherence, she also gave millions of us something we have needed for almost a decade — catharsis."

"Harris turned to the camera and explained to the audience just how entirely thin-skinned and needing of praise Trump was, and how this left him particularly vulnerable to being flattered into making horrendous national and international decisions. In doing so, she indelibly etched an image into viewers’ minds of Trump as an insecure and immature man-child who always needs to be told just how great he is."

Trump Has Always Been a Ruthless Bully. The Debate Exposed His Weakness.

On the debate stage with Kamala Harris on Tuesday, Donald Trump reaped what he has sown.

Truthout

"Trump is like 'one of those big balloons when you stick a pin in and it swirls around the room until it comes down to nothing,' Nancy Pelosi told Anderson Cooper last night. She said 'he's just greatly diminished.'"

"She beat him with the facts, and she beat him to the punch. She watched, her eyes sparkling, as the tired, angry old racist trotted out his predictable rancid tropes, and exposed himself for what he is, while also managing to bury himself even further into his dark, empty corner."

SHE HANDLED HIM

Kamala Harris gave us all a long-awaited night to remember ...

Enough Already

"It was, in many ways, a delight to watch Harris win the debate so decisively. ('I have a concept of a plan,' Trump ended up whining, limply.) Unfortunately, however, Harris is likely to be punished by many people for her display of competence. Already she has been called 'insufferable,' her voice likened to 'fingernails running uninterrupted down a blackboard.' Her faces were 'off-putting.'”

Harris Wiped the Floor with Trump. That’s Actually a Problem (Plus, an Announcement)

When women show their competence, we do not tend to be rewarded. Rather, we are punished and perceived as nasty bitches.

More to Hate

"Be on the lookout for gender bias in the wake of the debate, and in general. Call people out on their shit. Do not let it fester and proliferate and become a thing on social media. If Harris is labelled too shrill, too mean, too condescending, or too abrasive, name it for what it is: misogyny of the kind that loses crucial elections."
