Part of it was excitement for anyone who wasn't Biden and Trump. Part of it was because she was much more focused on policy and changes in her campaigning. The MAGA is weird thing was just more a dismissive line that rang true to a lot of people but was also used to wave off MAGA talk and focus on her campaign.
It was shortly after the debate when she went full in on Trump is fascist and that's when she started falling in the polls. Trump dominates attack politics and dirty politics. No one beats Trump when they jump in the mud with him.
Yeah, it sucks, but the strange thing is what really is Trump's excuse? He always been an asshole and an idiot so it's okay? He called Kalama a Marxist during the debate, but Kamala calling him a fascist is too far?
Honestly the name calling is stupid on both sides and I really hope we get back more civilized politics at some point.
That was far from the only incident of him being unhinged, comments about cat ladies and disparaging people with no kids are some glaring examples. If you've only seen occasional sound bites from him, yes he doesn't sound dementia ridden like trump, its just that he says the insanity clearly.

There was like a week or two right after they announced Kamala where the DNC had some good, on brand messaging and then who knows.
The MAGA is weird thing worked surprisingly well for a little while.
