Trump retweeted this


?s=20


Democrats need to use this to their advantage, They need to hammer Purdue and Loeffler with a simple question, ‘Do you agree with Donald Trump that Kemp and Raffensberger should be jailed?’ This will get the MSM to ask the same question and talk about the tweet. It’s stupid, but this is where Republicans have always been better than Democrats, Taking up something as silly as this and tying the whole party to it.

Did his darndest to disenfranchised black voters as SOS and governor. Didn’t he go to court trying to pull a Jeb bush with Kobach? Weren’t the paper ballots court ordered?

3. Frankly, I think (but not sure) that we would be better off moving away from Donald Trump

It's better to pose this as an issue, if you want a government that works and works for the American people you need to vote out the bottleneck that is the Republican controlled Senate

And unfortunately voters don’t understand the verbiage the way you stated it....Republicans are effective at simple slogans or words, Democrats get caught up in long messages with complicated words that people either don’t understand or don’t pay attention to.....to simplify your message into one voters understand I would say

‘Perdue and Loeffler have helped Mitch McConnell stop the coronavirus stimulus relief bill... if you want to help Biden pass a bill to put $1200 into your pockets then we need to elect Warnock and Ossoff’

10. The crafting of effective messaging is quite an art form by now.

And yeah, simpler is better. Bringing it down to YOU in YOUR home and YOUR kitchen table.

They stayed asleep while innocent immigrant children were ripped from their parents' arms for the "crime" of coming up across our southern border.

They didn't move when trump was screwing everybody over except the big corporations (read: big corporate DONORS).

They didn't bat an eye when people ran out of money to afford their rent or their mortgage payments.

They yawned when food insecurity became its own epidemic in this country, and like a veritable pandemic around the world.

Fuck 'em.

Fuck trump, and fuck his nitwit worshippers. They can all go to Hell for all I care.

Read the tweet threads....

Basically - Trump purposely is disseminating dangerous and delusional messages.

When is this shit finally going to be stopped?

6. But Trump would say, "I didn't say that, I was just sharing what some people are saying."

That's his way of spreading outrageous claims without taking responsibility for it. He did it with the "birther" nonsense, and on many other occasions.

His rage & destruction will be aimed at anyone who is no longer useful to him and to his "enemies".

Guess they couldn't find masks with American flags on them. Because we know they are such patriots.

On edit: just took a closer look...gotta be photoshop.
