Trump’s big election lie is now on reruns

We need to turn it off before more victims are injured or killed

I explain three ways we can all do that together @usatodayopinion. W/ my great @Protect_Voters colleagues @LizziUlmer @KatieReisner

U.S. Capitol insurrection can't be repeated. The Voter Protection Program has put together a report that takes down every lie about the 2020 election.

Granted this is a real challenge when the media has such a right-wing bias.

That said, we can do little messaging things like republicans do effectively, for instance. For instance, never refer to loser45 by name, always use an insult or a slight at a minimum.

In 2000, republicans made it very awkward for gore to protest by shouting "sore/loserman" nonstop. Similarly, we need to constantly call the former guy a sore loser.

The sorest loser.
