Someone please tell me why it is so difficult to link Musk to Trump to GOP to Musk? Messaging should be easy.

And name names in every district and red state. Example: "Elon could not be doing to America if Trump didn't order it. Trump could not be doing what he is doing to America if Marjorie Taylor Greene did not vote for it. We would not be suffering economically and socially if the GOP were not supporting Trump and Musk. The GOP votes to hurt democracy and Americans."

Put whatever name from your district that comes to mind. John Kennedy (LA), Mitch McConnel, name evert GOP Senator and Representative in an ad in your area. Why is that so difficult? It's simple, straight forward, true and important for voters to understand. WTF?

Problem I've found is that trump voters aren't concerned about cutting what they believe is a "bloated government." Silent Type Mar 2025 #4
At least some liberal media are pointing this out. Still don't know why it is so difficult for some Dems to take this Jit423 Mar 2025 #5

These crooks are slippery and they know how to avoid accountability. They are, after all, Republicans.

In other words they support cutting, at least until it directly impacts them.

Democrats are rightly concerned about Musk. But fear isn’t going to get to that 5% or so of trump voters who might convert to Democrats.

Until trumpsters don’t get their SS check — or mom/grandmom don’t— they won’t care, no matter messaging.
