I have an idea for a strategy for the Democratic Party.

Take the speech by the conservative Judge, Michael Luttig, and run that one sentence, some place in the country, as an ad, so that as many as people as possible can see it between now and the election day.

If it does not succeed in making everyone see the truth, then it would, at the very least, divide conservative Republicans and Trump Republicans.

I think this would make a successful ad campaign.

Do you remember who you are trying to convince?

These are people who want the certainty of a king (Jesus, Trump). They want their biases confirmed in an echo chamber. They want the adrenaline rush they get from their rage.

They have no interest in a viewpoint that challenges their worldview. Critical thinking is not their skill.

We will never change their minds. Our only hope is to overwhelm them at the polls, and defang their political (small state) advantage.

Just as you can lead people to the truth.

But you cannot make them drink and you cannot make them think.

What more can one do?

I think the OP may be onto something with these voters.
Make this a slogan. Repeat it over and over and over and over.

Of course this crap from their side doesn't work on us,
but repetition does work on them. Like Stop the Steal. They love it.

"Donald Trump is a clear and present danger." (paired with images of cops getting beaten ?)

We should try it somewhere at least, see if it works.
It might help with voter turnout too, and that always helps dems.

Something short and sweet like that aired on their a.m. radio networks too??
