I posted this on Bluesky and it fizzled. I saw Trump's "Ball"room as a great opportunity. How can I make it better?

I thought this would be a great way to make fun of Trump with double word meaning.
I see this as having LOTS of potential.
Am I wrong?
Any suggestions to make it better?
Thx

Just received this call to action. Looks good!

Never use more than one exclamation point at the end of a sentence. It looks childish, like a comic book.

Also, please don't capitalize common nouns like "ballroom." That's one of the things that make CheetoIini's posts look ridiculous.

Finally, "Trumps" should have an apostrophe: "Trump's balls."

We have to appear smarter than the MAGAts, in order to be effective.

Perhaps a photo of the demolished part of the White House would also help to attract people's attention to your graphic.

I hope these suggestions are helpful to you.

I think it has potential and i enjoy a good double entendre.

Then cut all the top of the first paragraph out before the "Pledge" part and cut the last line. It's too much talk when you're looking for a shareable meme.

Just my thoughts.

Like:

Help control the MAGA population. Have your Republican spayed or neutered. Along those lines I'm guessing.

I don't think they're trying to be serious in the way you mean so much as go viral and draw eyes. Honestly, times have changed and this is the new frontier. Folks like you and I who were raised to be practical, debate and show our sources don't fit in the meme culture.
