Dems can stoke fear in MAGA more powerful than MAGA-stoked fear - by pointing out that the status quo

[diva77]

is not guaranteed with Chump.

Status quo item #1: Monthly SS check.
A lot of MAGA look like they're in the social security-eligible demographic. If Dems pound in the message that their monthly check won't be guaranteed since Chump will move to privatize SS, that may knock something loose in their beliefs.

Status quo item #2: Medicare
A lot of MAGA probably have expensive medical issues. The ones on Medicare depend on care to be covered. That may dry up since Chump will accelerate move to fund corporate Medicare advantage, pharmaceutical industry, etc.

Status quo item #3: FDA Inspections
A lot of MAGA probably eat red meat. They probably don't want to risk threats such as trichinosis or mad cow's disease -- Chump will dismantle government agencies that protect us from these threats.

etc. - pick any government agency and figure out the status quo versus removal of that agency

========
I know, nothing anyone hasn't thought of before - just wanted to emphasize that in addition to President Biden's pro-active, GREAT accomplishments, he has maintained the stability and status quo of our indispensable agencies

1. I think SS especially will get the attention of all older voters.

2. There's an old adage

about not tearing down a fence or filling a drainage ditch unless you have a good understanding about why they were constructed.

5. For years Rs & FQX have used FEAR of things to keep their voters voting R

How many times have you heard " They're coming to take everybody's guns? " That's just one of their FEAR
tactics. Well we can use FEAR also, the only difference is we'll be telling the truth...." Rs want to reduce SS "

6. I really wish I could agree with you

But I fear that you'd get replies like this:

Democrats: Your monthly check won't be guaranteed since Chump will move to privatize SS.

Response: Good! Gubmint cain't do nothin' right! We'll have a lot more money for retirement if SS is privatized! It's guaranteed because Trump says so!

Democrats: Chump will accelerate move to fund corporate Medicare advantage, pharmaceutical industry, etc.

Response: Good! Gubmint cain't do nothin' right! We'll have the best, most beautiful healthcare and the best, cheapest meds that the world has ever seen and it won't cost us anything! It's guaranteed because Trump says so!

Democrats: Chump will dismantle government agencies that protect us from things like food poisoning.

Response: Ha! You mean like Phony Fauci and the lying CDC protected us? The CDC made the virus! Masks don't work! You can't trust gubmint for nothin'! Defund the CDC and the FBI and the FDA! I heard that the FDA poisons meat to keep their jobs! Regulation hurts business! Trump's gonna drain that swamp!

In my opinion, MAGA is hopeless. Unreachable. They're a cult. They're not going to move away from thinking that Dear Leader is anything less than God's Chosen Almost-Jesus.

But if we say those things to undecideds and Nikki Haley voters...

9. I don't disagree -- however, one can always hope to peel off a few who may hold their

SS more dear than all else when presented with the possibility of losing it.

[no_hypocrisy]

8. Here's the problem:

Mass cognitive disbelief.

They refuse to believe that their dear leader would really do that. Libs are just fear-mongering and lying.
