1. And they are telling you that you should be scared by it, and vote for them because they will

protect you from it.

It is always their way:
Create problem.
Make you afraid of problem.
Insist that only they can fix the problem.

3. Fear is their only product

They have no positive record to run on. They seem to think that their tactics scare the majority of us; they're wrong. In fact, their inability to understand how motivated we are when challenged will be their downfall. Bullies never win. They tell themselves they're winning, but the facts prove to be the opposite. My family and I vote in person in every election and we will not be impeded in any way shape or form.
I live in Long Island which is cult country. I have the opportunity to interact with 100's of people weekly and I've honed my skills at asking questions of the followers without being offensive, and when I calmly share facts with them I can see the questions on their faces. They begin to realize that fear and lies are the only motivations of the MAGA . I don't know if I've changed any minds, but I've inserted reasonable doubt about their choice of the grifter. We just cannot let them use intimidation to stop us from using our vote as our voice.

We have a shot at this, let's not blow it.
