11. Democrats need to pull a stunt here.

The sad fact is that these Republican loons capture all the media attention.

More people will hear them blaming Biden and FEMA than will review their voting records and recognize their hypocrisy.

We need some staged, outrageous stunts that will grab attention while revealing truths that Republicans would like to sweep under the rug.

Republicans understand that this is a battle for eyeballs and impressionable ears. For example, how many news stories do you see about Charlie Crist's plans for Florida? Compare that to how many stories you see about DeSantis' stunt events.

How many reading this can tell me the name of Matt Gaetz's opponent in the election that is 5 weeks out?

We need to counter-program with something attention-grabbing.
