Let's try the opposition's favorite strategy: FLOOD THE ZONE.

Yup, sure the RW'ers have a fine method. Saturate airwaves and all manner of media with RW points of view, exaggerations, and outright lies. The bigger the lie, the more attention they get.

OK, what the heck - can't we play equally dirty?

Possibilities:
Call the local TV news with EVERYTHING you notice.
Call the police every time you see ICE speeding somewhere.
Write opinion pieces to most anything you can think.
I think my young cousin knows how to send out mass emails, unsure of that one.
Digital whiz persons may be able to start up blogs, youtube videos, OMG flood TikTok!

Lie? Is that necessary? Well I say fight fire with fire.

Well, Democratic officials sometimes do speak out when nobody is watching - or write letters that nobody reads
