Honestly, it’s almost embarrassing. Democrats continue to fight using Queensberry whilst Trump et al are, again, acting with impunity. They’ve got to smell the coffee and take the gloves off.
Take the gloves off right now and do what?
Use harsh language? Encourage Democrats to engage in acts of violence?
I understand your frustration of feeling helpless while the tangerine terror fucks everything and everyone up, but without control of the house and/or senate, there isn't that much they can do right now.
I think they need to be aggressive, publicly, with their highlighting of Trump’s “shortcomings”. Like billboards. Or interviews on TV. Or (ab)using privilege in the House. Etc. Just say stuff that’s true that they wouldn’t normally want to say. “Trump finger raped a woman”, “Putin’s lapdog”, “Pornstar fucker”, “Friend to pedophiles”.
In your face shit that’s inappropriate. Or was inappropriate until Trump changed the rules.
Just keep repeating it day after day, and like Trump, it’ll become part of the narrative through repetition.
They first need to admit that running as corporatists, ignoring people who are suffering in this economy, and funding a far right genocide were wrong, and the genocide was a war crime that people should go to jail for. They will never admit to that stuff though, theyd sooner disolve the party.
Hard to do when conservatives have cornered the media market.
The media gets high on sensationalism. If a Democratic politician came out and said that the President was "deep-throating Putin's cock," oh believe me, that'd get coverage right quick!
Wrong type of coverage though. Sinclaire group would spin that so hard it would cost bigtime.
I dunno man, your stance comes across as defeated, like nothing is worth doing. I disagree with that take.
Wounded but not defeated.
There certainly is lots that can be done. Just aware that there is an uphill battle to be fought, and the number of allies is limited.
