The inimitable Digby has today excerpted major parts of a New York Times story about what the Republicans have in store for us in 2020. They’re going to full-on, all-out “Socialist! Socialist! Socialist.” And, unfortunately, the simple, lying bullshit memes the Republicans are using are beginning to show up in focus groups. Particular suspicion is being aroused about the Green New Deal and Medicare for All. Celinda Lake has a quote that grabbed my attention hard:
“The Democrats will issue a 61-page white paper that nobody in their right mind will pass on to their friends,” she added. “He uses a one-sentence slogan, and his voters feel emboldened to share it, pass it on.”
Well ya know what, friends? I propose we start sharing and passing around our own simple messages. I’ve devised 15 of them. Borrow them and spread them as you see fit. Mine have an advantage over Trump’s: They’re true.
We’re in a war. Let’s use any weapons we have. I’ll put the first two here and the next 13 in the comments.
