Correct. Trump won by making his lies not sound like lies. He is an absolute master of that.
The moment Democrats find a way to regain the narrative (president Elon was a very good start) Trump goes on the defense for the very first time.
Democrats need to keep this up and hammer it home.
To be fair, Trump's lies always sound like lies. At least, to anyone with an IQ above room temperature. I mean, listen to him contradict himself in the space of 3 or 4 sentences-something he does constantly. People believe what they want to believe and (as the song goes) "disregard the rest."
Matt Gaetz raped a 17 year old girl, trafficked multiple women, did illegal drugs, and was nominated to be Attorney General by the incoming president. You won't hear ONE Democrat mention him this Sunday. Not one. His story died after 24 hours because Democratic messaging SUCKS.
"... so I think Trump is going to do more to help us [poor people]" If I've ever seen stronger proof that you can't cure stupid, well, I certainly can't bring it to mind. FFS.
The biggest difference Dems could have made would have been to turn out the 15M dems who didn't vote at all in 2024 vs 2020. Until the DNC fixes their own shizzle, I will be a proud progressive NAV.
