15. We already won the argument

Like a lot of their desperate talking points, these RW claims are just fodder for their own echo chamber. When the reality of this child molester's unpopularity has sunk in to the point that numbnuts like Joe Rogan can clutch their pearls the cult has little or no messaging traction.

Way more people showed up to yesterday's protests than they did a few months ago. That momentum is on our side. That being said, the perception of the Democratic Party has not changed that much, but it has little or nothing to do with messaging. A majority of Americans prefer Democratic priorities but enough people continue to vote for republicans based on psychology. Any party in America that is seen as standing up for the traditionally despised (the poor, women, minorities, LGBTQ+, etc.) is perceived as weak. It's why Democrats often have their strongest performances following republican catastrophe. When Democrats clean up republican messes, republicans are once again given the keys and the cycle continues. But that's a rant for another day.

I do salute your vigor at even addressing these a-holes.
