Ok, but real talk? The sort of low-engagement persuadable Trump voter you need to flip is not going to sit through a serious policy argument, and would not understand it if they did. “He’s calling himself a king” they can understand. So run with it.

trump literally told his voters they wouldn't have to vote again after the last election.
The electoral apparatus is high on the GOP to do list.
We'll have to fight to have another meaningful election before pondering how to persuade cultists.

Ask them if they’ve made plans for their inlaws to move in with them after they don’t get their Social Security checks anymore.
'He didn't thank me for letting him in!! What a low-engagement persuadable Trump voter!'
'Get a round in, don't be a low-engagement persuadable Trump voter.'
'Oof, that was a spicy burrito. I fear for my low-engagement persuadable Trump voter tomorrow.'
I am not distracted. I am infuriated, though.
Discounting it would be a mistake. It's far better to overreact than to under react. If you're waiting for the right time to fight, you're already behind.
So I think focusing on this moment is actually pretty sensible and clarifying.
We didn't want a King.
But this . . . this is an outright statement that he is a king.
How long until he tries to live forever with magic potions or make a terra cotta army in basement of Mar-a-Lago?
AND YOU SAY THEY'RE DOING NOTHING.
JUST SAY: TRUMP KING, NO KINGS

Plus, how do you defend this without sounding like a total dork? "Ha ha, you stupid libs, you believed him when he said he was the king" may sound good in their heads, but it just keeps putting the concept out there, and the concept doesn't help them at all.
Tell a better story
Get people to stop thinking Trump,start considering their Independence
this “king” stuff is a hanging curve over the middle of the plate
it’s criminal not to put it in the seats in left field
maybe even upper deck
But you don’t need to flip “low-key persuadable voters”, you need to convince non-voters to vote.
Nice and simple and true
how about ALL VOTERS.
There is a reason he says it... cuz it scales. While talking about eggs might win testing, it goes nowhere. And we lose. Period.
The only reason it was "trolling" last time is because other people in the administration where stopping him from doing.
Perfect for any audience.
Elections are won on vibes, no policy nuances. The GOP is good at generating vibes. Dems need to get better at it.
