It's not working to have a headline or two once in a while (and Fox viewers don't see any headlines of this type). It's not working to have long discussions on MSNBC panels devoted to his neediness and malignant narcissism and the expression of those pertaining to relationships with women. Books have been written on how awful of a human he is...doesn't leave a mark. He shouldn't have gotten close to a nomination in 2016, let alone 2020...so something is way off. With a couple of exceptions it's not working to take him to court (Cohen knows something about that). Millions of people protesting him and his policies are energizing, but hasn't changed much that i can see (maybe if they keep growing?). Running great candidates works, but it's an uphill battle and who is to say the next election and the one after that will be fair?
Something has to change because it's not happening on its own.
What else can be done? How can all the pieces of his degeneracy, immoral nature, and weirdness be put together in a compelling way that doesn't just focus on the latest outrage at the expense of previous outrages? Can we go all the way back to paint an accurate picture of his life wrt women?
Full page weekly ads about the latest outrages? A weekly cable series highlighting the history of this sorry, limited person? Each week could be a different aspect of his disorder. First week: women. Then financial cheating including stiffing anyone he can and cheating at golf. Then his 1,200 court cases in week 3. Week 4 is lying...or maybe that's week 4/5/6 since there's so much. Racism. Then ignorance. Bankruptcies and poor ideas. Covid.
Plenty of material, which gets forgotten as each outrage earns a bit of discussion as though nothing came before it.
