Exactly! If attacking Hasan Piker didn't work for the Democrats, it won't work for the Republicans!

I think part of this is nobody who already liked Hasan was going to be moved and nobody who already disliked Hasan was going to be embarrassed
Swin’s conversations with Trumpworld insiders reveal alarm at just how badly the plan to make the leftist streamer the main midterms character is misfiring. Also, Pete Hegseth beclowns himself again.

“No one has ever heard of Hasan Piker” is at this point a shibboleth for people who are proud of not caring what people under 40 think or consume. Stop repeating it. Clearly, a lot of people have heard of Hasan Piker, and once again the bad guys figured it out before you lot.

this is the whole ball game right here. in our Maine poll, half of respondents had never heard of Hasan Piker, and another 25% had no opinion of him.
…who hasan piker is and those who do were largely voting Republican anyway and b) there is scant, if any, evidence that the sustained strategy has moved the needle in Republicans favor
If anything, the number of warning signals for an electoral bloodbath for the GOP in a month are multiplying…

the war on trans people and hasan piker are obvious cases of the center trying to discipline the left that the republicans were just dumb enough to get in on
It’s not just anonymous sources (tho we are in the business of citing people who know what they’re talking about); one of Trump’s top pollsters is on the record throwing cold water on the GOP-wide 2026 anti- Hasan piker electoral strategy which is still going strong at the NRSC, etc.

Regardless of What You Think About Hasan Piker, He’s a Dud of a Political Issue
At least Republicans think so (boldface mine): Yes, that Hasan Piker, the hard-left Twitch streamer who has infuriated Democratic elites with his efforts to push the party leftward and to a more pro-Palestinian position. The anti-Piker strategy may have started with Dems and their think tanks but boy, did it end up being a uniquely hysterical and sometimes horny obsession in Republican circles and right-wing media....

the hasan piker stuff finally made sense to me when i realized that politicians on both sides think he's the "leader" of internet communists instead of just, a guy who is one

Damn! Should have gone with "Hasan Piker raised your fuel & grocery costs & got us into war with Iran."

TIME: You said you might annihilate Iran
TRUMP: Yeah, I would do that. It's possible.
TIME: How can the president of peace be calling for annihilation of an entire people?
TRUMP: Bc by annihilating Iran, we've created peace in the world. With Iran, I don't think you could ever have peace.
TRUMP: Yeah, I would do that. It's possible.

I genuinely can understand the impulse that it's unfair, that Hasan says nasty shit, why is everyone focusing on Smotrich and Ben Givr and co, etc etc
But the problem is that it's completely irrelevant. Smotrich and Ben Givr are standing government ministers. Hasan is a small time shock jock

we've reached peak Hasan derangement (so far). this beats the bulge, which was just sad and horny.

Centrism is a dead end in the democratic party. Longwell and Sanders are trying to quell the democratic left populism and no one should be listening to what either of them have to say. Don't believe me go watch Sander's Hasan Piker interview it was painful how bad she was during that interview.
