10. The idea of scaring voters with the truth
Sun Sep 18, 2022, 05:04 PM
Sep 2022

is good. But it has to be a truth that they care enough about, or understand enough, to make them vote Democratic.

Social Security, birth control, and abortion will scare and motivate people. Fascism overturning the government motivates only people who actually understand what the names of political groups mean. A fascist takeover is very important, but, unfortunately, does not motivate people to action except those already on the left and aware enough to vote the fascists out.
