How to get MAGATs to Pay Attention??

[Sparkly]

Distraction is an easy tool for Drumpf supporters, Fox viewers, right-wing voters. We know this because:
- Drumpf supporters have deep confirmation bias, and need to believe the lies for their own personal reasons;
- A comparison of a real news source and Fox, any day and any time, makes a Twilight Zone level of contrast ; and
- Right-wing voters poll as making up their minds at the last minute, having not paid attention before. (I call this 'The Honey Boo Boo Effect.')

So how can Democrats ever break through these walls?
- What would get a 'must-believer' to find freedom in some truth?
- What, if anything, could get right-wingers to read, watch, or listen to real news?
- How can Democrats call attention to issues, elections, and why they matter, while Republicans come up with last-minute fear-mongering ("the terrorists could hit us again!" "they're eating the dogs!" etc.)

1. In 2026, if they're still voting Republican, there's nothing we can do...

… they can’t walk away from their entire basis for their words, deeds, and opinions.

They VOTE for the cruelty. They’re not nice people.

3. Trump is implementing the Anti immigration plan of their dreams

Only some personal catastrophy like homelessness will turn them away from Trump.

He has shown them a path to a White America

4. While accurate

news and media reporting is certainly a requirement, the way we get people to pay attention (in the way that we want) is through results. That means promoting our policies and executing them to show a measurable positive outcome, not just words. You write up the policy along with the goal, you make the promise, then you keep the promise. You also own the successful stuff right along with the not so successful stuff to improve on and admit when you were wrong.
In the end, no amount of "messaging" is a long term or sustainable strategy, it is just soap-opera antics. In reality, that "messaging" is the very reason that most Americans hate politicians. They say all kinds of stuff and make all kinds of empty promises, and most of it always ends up just being bullcrap. Winning shouldn't just mean getting the most votes on a particular cycle: winning should mean producing positive net outcomes for every American citizen, even the ones we disagree with. And that is how you get them to not only pay attention, but to also cross over.
