30. We must operate under the assumption that conservatives will always cry foul.

That is what they do. They are weak and stupid. They cheat ALL the time and then when we do something within the rules or whatever, they cry about their persecution.

We have to stop caring about when they cry foul.

For me, I don't care that the Tik Tok kids did anything. They should do it again, over and over so that Trump understands that he will NEVER have a full venue again.

There are two and only two narratives that we should be pushing.

1. He got punked by teenagers because he and his campaign are stupid.
2. People didn't show up at his rally because he isn't very popular.

One of those should be our response.

When they say, "Radical protesters scared people away!!" We say, "Yeah, radical teenage girls on their iPhones"

If they respond as Parscale did that, "It was not Tik Tok teens!" Our response is, "Okay, then it was just because people aren't that into you anymore".
