42. We can offer an antidote to Trump

He tried to push his version of life onto everyone. His version with the phony excesses and greed. The problem is he couldn’t bribe everyone, so he is doomed to fail. He is the master of dirt and his crew is poised to crank up his operation with Brad Parscale soon.

We can go where Democrats haven’t gone before with the fight, just as long as our message doesn’t stray into crazy or indecent territory. Then, voters will be told both sides are the same. We have to maintain the contrast, and all we have left is character and decency and competency. Now, we have the piss poor response to Covid 19, too, that we can tactfully exploit, but we must do that by just being better at helping people.

They won’t play nice, nope. Hopefully we can trick them into being so disgusting, they will turn everyone left off. Or just enough to win. 😬
