"Is This How You Make America Great Again?" DNC R U listening?

Let's look at the big picture. The #1 threat to our Democracy is the MAGA Fascist Cult lead by FailCoupGuy.
A lot of these MAGAts will be running for "Down Ballot" positions in the midterms. We'd like to vote them all
out of office correct? So let's flat out attack MAGAts as a group unworthy of political power from top
to bottom.

Can/will the DNC start making 30 or 60 second ads attacking tfg & MAGAts as a group that can't be
trusted with power at all levels of our Government? And flood ABC/CBS/NBC in prime time with the ads?

They could get The Lincoln Project, Meidas Touch, Republicans For The Rule Of Law and all the anti-tRump
R groups to pitch in and help. Remember these are Rs who watched their beloved party go down a
rabbit hole on account of MAGAts and their leader and wanted no part of Fascism.

Get some well known Rs to do some the ads, GW Bush, Dick Cheney, Bill Kristol, Arnold Schwarzenegger,
other trusted people, Dolly Parton, Morgan Freeman, Oprah Winfrey, Robert Redford, etc.

Do it the Joseph Goebbels way, keep telling it over and over and over, flood the airways with anti MAGA
ads telling the truth about their cult movement for the last few weeks leading into the midterms. Would
catch them completely off balance with no time to regroup. Remember the Willie Horton ad?

Show all the Fascist traits the MAGA movement possesses with the "Is This How You Make America Great
Again?" caption/quote.

Show how tfg with his cabinet picks & postmaster general have dismantled their departments.
"Is This How You Make America Great Again?"

Attack the MAGAts voting records protecting tfg, while reminding voters that 50 years ago all repugs
found Richard Nixon guilty. But today only a handful are willing to tell the truth. "Is This How You Make
America Great Again?" caption/quote.

Show clips of the Jan 6th attack, "Is This How tfg planned To Make America Great Again?"

Ask why Putler only invited R Senators to a Moscow July the 4th gathering. "Is This How You Make
Russia Great Again?" caption/quote. And name them.

Find a video clip of tfg pleading the fifth over & over again (440 times) with a catchy question. Do the
same with all his enablers who refuse to talk to the Jan 6th Committee or the DOJ. "Is This How You Make
America Great Again?" caption/quote.

Remind voters a simple DNA test would clear tfg of a rape charge, but he refuses.

Flash photos of Judges, Doctors, Nurses, election workers who have gotten death threats from MAGAts
with a "Is This How You Make America Great Again?" caption/quote.

Show all the Rs who have mentioned Civil War or have said "All Democrats need to die" "Is This How You
Make America Great Again?" caption/quote.

If you haven't guessed it by now, all the ads should have the "Is This How You Make America Great Again?"
caption/quote. Let's use their rallying cry against them because they have done nothing to MAGA.

Don't forget a Roe vs Wade or SCOTUS ad, these are just the tip of the iceberg. Let's SHOW VOTERS
the truth with small ads and pound it into their heads.

Let's flood the airwaves with ads rational people will have a difficult time disagreeing with. Remember the
Willie Horton ad! Two can play this game and we'll do it with truth not exaggerations.

On a side note, do we have undeniable proof of Russia funneling money to the R party? Still wondering
about July 4th & the NRA. "Is This How You Make America Great Again?"

Edward Bernays, who authored the seminal “Propaganda” and spun the craft into “Public Relations.”

“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.”
― Edward L. Bernays, Propaganda

have used the work of Bernays and his uncle Sigmund Freud to shape public opinion. The series also explores the transition from a needs-based to a wants-based culture of consumerism in which human lives are commodities.

But I wonder if the problem is also that there isn't as much of an outlet willing to air ads like that.

I see all the great ads that get posted on here, Meidas Touch, Lincoln Project and others, yet I never see them on TV or anywhere else. It's as if media is willing to run whatever bullshit the republicons want to run, but won't run a democratic ad that tells the truth.

Wonder if this goes back to the DNC's normal game plan? Well the poles tell us we can win here, maybe
here and never there, so we'll throw all our resources here & here & ignore over there.

Believe it's time they start thinking outside the box with the most crucial midterm election ever in our
country's history. We need some effective ads run on all the networks 24/7 in all 50 states to kick as
many MAGAts (up & down ballot) as possible to the curb.

Time the DNC quits picking and choosing who gets the most help and who gets the least, my red state
of Kansas gets very little help from the DNC.

We need a George Armstrong Custer type to charge into where most of the enemy is at before they
get stronger, take over congress and destroy this country.

That Willie Horton ad cost Michael Dukakis the White House in 1988, we need something similar to
keep the House & Senate plus help the down ballot Democrats. Attack them as a group.

By cable "news" channels including CNN and by the company that owns most billboards, Waitt. They wouldn't put up billboards defending John Kerry from the swiftboat crap, but there was no shortage of "Kenyan Usurper" billboards during Obama's terms. The ones that pissed me off most were the ones I'd see on I-70 by Fort Riley.

I have a low opinion of the DNC, DCCC etc. Howard Dean kicked ass and won elections all over the country. What did they do? Kick him to the curb and end all of his winning strategies. I hate to think how many additional republicons have been elected since then because of that gigantic mistake.

Then there are people who accuse PACs funding Democrats' being elected of being corrupt and corporate, goal being to make voters cynical and both sides, don't vote.
