(10,749 posts)Since it's from The Rude Pundit, sensible may not be the best word, but he is 100% right.
Democrats have to go full court press, balls to the wall on messaging around removing Trump from office. They can't rely on Americans actually understanding any of this. Ads, town halls, fuckin' billboards. All of it. Treat it like a campaign.

If Tom Steyer and Michael Bloomberg want to do some good, take a few hundred million and create campaigns to get this out to Republicans wherever they are. In simple, direct language. No mocking (leave that to the Rude Pundit and others). Full page ads in republican area newspapers and magazines along with the nationals. Hell, expand this internationally so that overseas voters are encouraged to contact their legislators. Billboards, advertising, banner ads, websites, social media. Start using FB advertising the way Russians and Republicans use FB advertising. Non-stop. Then every Democrat needs to hold town halls in areas where they have republican constituents. (Can a legislator hold a town hall in a district that is not their own?) And this needs to be done now. As in beginning this weekend and continuing as long as it takes.
One more thing. Non-stop fact checking and immediate responses in all social media to trump's lies. As fast as he can tweet, rebuttals and fact-checking go up and go viral. How's this? Daily ads in the NYT and the other majors rebutting every single one of trump's lies from the day before. Ad in the same place in every paper. If possible, get the same ads in RW papers.
This is where billionaires can do good right now.
Also, Bezos should buy Fox News, but that might take a little while longer.
