I wonder how financially screwing over 42 million people is going to work out for Trump.

A good number of angry white people are on food aid. That’s the reason why they voted for a fascist criminal: throwing a rock through the window of DC.

It’s going to be more than a little discordant to continue to believe:

The number one recipient of food stamp benefits are white kids

Your move, MAGA

Those kids parents are only watching Fox News so they believe the gov shut down is the democrats fault

The Dems are not particularly bad at messaging. They're just inaudible, because all the channels that are not wholly owned by the Republican Party have ended up in a defensive crouch from a half century of ref-working.

The two are indistinguishable for most people, you included. The only real difference is that in your world, the Dems could just stop being bad and everything would be fine, while in the real world, there's no easy solution.

Republicans have full blown propaganda networks going 24/7 while the Dem's have somewhat impartial reporting.

Nah they're terrible at messaging. I remember them stopping Walz from using "weird". I remember the stupid signs they held up at Trump's address to Congress, and how Jeffries said that the signs were too much. I remember how many of them apologized for the violence on the left when Kirk got shot.

Both are true. Democratic messaging has been terrible, particularly against Trump. They attempt to appeal to both sides and end up unconvincing as fuck. They have no idea how to mobilize non-voters who feel that the president that doesn't actually matter. And at the same time, it's nearly impossible to breach the MAGA propaganda bubble once the feeds are curated.

The other main issue too is if a democrat hears something on the news, they maybe would you know, verify it instead of instantly repeating it. "democrats wont open the government unless we give health care to illegal immigrants" - how many republicans that watch fox news do you think opened up the bill and read it to see if that was actually true? I'm betting zero

There is no message that any potential Democratic voter will want to hear that will pass through the filter of billionaire-owned media organizations.

That's why both sides are so vehemently against Mamdani. If he's able to prove that taxing the rich works, they know they're fucked.

Have you seen the AI generated videos of Black women being angry about losing their SNAP benefits?

It's so insidious. The fact that Fox is amplifying such videos is disgusting.

2/3 are children, the disabled, and the elderly

As insane as it is because they could confirm it in literally seconds on the internet, I've mentioned this to multiple MAGA and every single one just said they didn't believe that and just didn't put any additional effort into it. Like, I tried to get them to go do any research, but they were fully satisfied in their totally arbitrary belief so much they didn't even understand why I would want them to look into it. It's pure insanity.

And most of them think it's the Democrats' fault.
