    American leftists need to adopt their communication strategy. It doesn’t work to have educated people lecture the anti intellectuals. They don’t want to hear it and they’ll have a knee jerk reaction against it. Study, learn and use their own preferred methods instead. Stickers, simple slogans, rants, fucking flags on oversized wankmobiles if you’ve got one. Whenever there is a direct consequence of the Trump administration, shout it immediately from the rooftops until people get it. Only talking about it years later at the next election will do nothing because it is already pushed away by the propaganda feed. Use their method of communication but keep it factual and don’t stoop down to their hatred and lies. It’s not about taunting, it’s about informing the uninformed and leading them out of the bubble.

    Price hikes? Thanks MAGA. Deportations of integrated citizens? Thanks MAGA. No more social security? Thanks MAGA. Leopards chewing on your face? WELL FUCKING THANKS FOR VOTING FOR THE LEOPARDS EATING PEOPLE’S FACES PARTY!

      This may be the only time it works, when people actually get punched in the face. Explaining how they will get punched in the face in the future never seems to work. That’s the “educated people lecture the anti intellectual”.

      Unfortunately the lesson will only last 1 election cycle.

      You say that like we’re ever going to have elections again. Before 1 year is up of 47’s reign, they’ll assassinate him so Vance, someone who’s kore easily controlled, will be president. It’s why he was chosen. It’s all why they orchestrated the previous 2 attempts. You’ll notice that both attempted assassins were both R voters.

      Then, before the next election, they’ll create some “emergency” that Vance will use as an excuse to declare martial law and cancel elections. Our country just chose actual fascism this week, and that’s what it looks like.
