It's a really apt term to describe the kind of obsessive attacks on Trump's person, often as a substitute for any kind of positive policy message (as in, Harris will do X, Y, and Z), especially ones that would resonate outside the Democratic bubble.

(tl;dr: "You should vote for Harris because Trump is bad." What will Harris do? Who knows.).
Yes, plenty of people argue Trump is bad. But the phrase "orange man bad" suggests that criticisms of Trump's character are superficial, when in reality they are based on his behavior and statements.
