Democrats have the ability to use Trump's power grab to make government visible. They need to be very specific, they need to show that #Trump is stealing appropriated funds from Red States as much as Blue, and they need to explain why this is illegal.
Then do cheap ads targeting GOPers.

How many "gifts" like this have Felon47 given Dems? I have yet to see effective messaging from them. I don't have any confidence they can do this.
@GottaLaff
When will a Democratic foil to Trump emerge?
Currently, the Democratic Party leadership's utter SILENCE on all this craziness is DEAFENING.
Good tactics suggested.
Only impactful if information and narrative is shared on mews media platforms Red State people and Maga actually read or watch. Big challenge here.
That has been the failing of Dems so far with Trumpo 2.0: message fine, dissemination feeble and no impact with American public in Red States
@GottaLaff It's classic illiberal strategy to starve the opposition of media coverage. People make a faulty assumption that media would report accurately anything the dems did or said. Or show adverts attacking the dictator. It's been like that for way over two years, but we still have people blaming the victims of the blackout, the dems. Sure the establishment dems are slow to realize they are not part of a functioning government any longer. But they talk a lot. No one is reporting it though.
@GottaLaff #ConvictedFelon 34X #DonOld has a registered MO, it is "what's in it for me". If he can't make extra with you, he ain't doing it, period.
@GottaLaff Definitely right, but where are they. The usual press is reporting only about all these “surprises” . Everything was well known for months.
They're all still raving on X (twitter) echo chamber to no avail. We're over here on Mastodon. We're going to have to do this without them. Any of you remember the 60's.
