We need to make them play defense.

It is not enough to just sit back knowing that we have the superior reasoning. We must put them in a position where they make their true colors obvious to some portion of their base.

And at the same time, we must show them how their lives will be better if they come to our side.

We don't have to win over 75 million people. We need to get about 10 million to vote with us, or at least stay home. Trump is still trying to hold on to the 10-20 million that are the MAGA base. He's losing a lot with the other 50 million.
