"Trump Girls" are trying to break the internet.

(Twitter)

Donald Trump likes babes. The kind of bouncy babes who ruled adolescent fantasies back when America was great and Playboy Clubs dotted the landscape. "A woman who is very flat-chested is very hard to be a 10," Trump has insisted, one of many comments he's made that have infuriated and disgusted feminists.

Most feminists might not like Trump, but various American women clearly do appreciate the presumptive Republican presidential nominee's viewpoint. Shucking politically-correct diktats, they have taken to the internet in bikinis (and less) to show their support for Trump. Purveyors of the hashtag #TrumpGirlsBreakTheInternet are trying to, well, break the internet for the real-estate magnate and reality-TV star.

Anti-Trumpers, you would expect, are wringing their hands at the internet victory of flash (or flashing) over substance. Nope. This is the new reality for American democracy, and so everyone is adjusting in an effort to win -- and that includes progressives. The all-volunteer operation Tramps Against Trump, for example, is offering a nude image to anyone who proves he or she voted for someone not named Trump. (A similar effort apparently helped unseat former Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper)

"In the past we had 'Rock the Vote' and other ways to get the vote out," a Tramps Against Trump spokeswoman has said, referring to the 1990s effort to encourage young people to get involved in politics. "But what do young people like now? They like naked people on the internet."

So how do you get a nude photo from Tramps Against Trump? You have to send in a selfie showing you did not vote for Trump. "Our policy is strictly enforced," the website says, but the Tramps might ultimately have to simply take your word for it. As AlterNet points out, some states do not allow voters to take selfies in a voting booth.

If you're not willing to wait until November for a gander at naked Trump haters, that's OK. All you have to do is tune in to the Republican National Convention next month in Cleveland. Artist Spencer Tunick is organizing a nude protest against misogyny. At sunrise on July 17, if all goes according to plan, 100 naked women will hold up mirrors aimed at the convention center. A couple of days later, Trump will give his nomination acceptance speech. Surely he will tell the assembled delegates how many of the protesters were 10s.
