"Your 2020 campaign slogan is: Your last name + 2020 + the last text you sent."

A Twitter meme that produced some wonderfully absurd slogans.

I had to look at my texts to see what mine would be, and it was wonderfully absurd:

Althouse 2020
elephants in the garden

IN THE COMMENTS: No one asked me why I'd texted "elephants in the garden." It was my reply to Meade, when he texted me an untitled video from our garden:

IMG_2111

Knowing the plant is called "elephant ears," I texted back my idea of a title.

I love Althouse's slogan. Combines the earthy calming wisdom of a Chauncey Gardner with subliminal appeal to Democrat's fears (Elephants in our garden, oh my!)

I'm strangely attracted to the 'Elephants in the Garden' slogan. I'd vote for you. It's mesmerizing. So much better than 'Friday Fish Fry...all you can eat!"

Chuck म्हणाले...

[Chuck]2020: Ok w/me.

So maybe this meme isn't so much fun after all.

It's very much like "Your stripper name." Remember that meme, in the early days of the internet? Pre-Twitter, of course. You took the name of your first pet as your first name, and the name of the street that you grew up on as your last name. And then, for the rest of that particular cocktail hour, everybody used their stripper names.
