Here’s messaging. TN Rep Justin Pearson burning down Musk and his xAI for abusing Memphis air and water in Musk’s long con. Yesterday, in front of hundreds 🔥

I lived in town that had a beautiful 18 hole private country club bordered by poor black neighborhood. Tall cypress and chain link fence kept out the uninvited, blacks could only work in the kitchen and Jews weren’t allowed to join until the 80’s.When they watered the course the homes would go dry.

This young man kicks ass.

Unrelated, I never had decent afro game and now I'm too bald to try. I will likely die with this regret.

THIS is brilliant 👌 that's a church service I can get behind!

2/ to do it knowing what it is. You're not having a conversation. You're going into an intentionally hostile, intentionally tilted space. So you have to internalize that going in. You also have to be able to make arguments like this. If you can't there are lots of great ways to contribute. But ...

brendanamartin.bsky.social•10 days ago

Startlingly few people rehearse their arguments in their head before entering the forum. I do this going into any protest, in case I’m interpellated or accosted. Always prepare your public face, for every audience.

3/ electoral politics probably isn't your calling.

raemaenyc.bsky.social•10 days ago

I'm trying to imagine Chuck Schumer going on here. He'd probably start by saying that the $800 billion in cuts aren't technically Medicaid cuts...

herronbird.bsky.social•10 days ago

That’s EXACTLY what he’d do”wellllllll technicallllllly….” De facto cuts that are not jure cuts are still cuts but they’re aiming for both. Who gives a shit why memaw starved to death because she couldn’t get SS she was entitled too, because it was defunded or because they destroyed all access pts.

markvr1.bsky.social•10 days ago

I was going to say that only some people should go on such hostile forums and that they have to have special talents. Also they should not go trying to make friends. I'm not sure that being someone like that rules out being a good electoral politician in other ways. But maybe it does.

blancheneigeesq90.bsky.social•10 days ago

Pete Buttigieg is a master at this knd of performance.

alfredsokoro.bsky.social•10 days ago

Exactly. If you go on Fox bring your own questions and answers and fillibuster the shit out of the MAGA host.

etbalsbaugh.bsky.social•10 days ago

Shocker, we have to reach people with our message for it to work.

nenar.bsky.social•10 days ago

Yes, he kept on talking which is exactly what the maga politicians do. One has to practice being somewhat impolite with the far right.

lastthird.bsky.social•10 days ago

countdown until Schumer tries to do it...

lastthird.bsky.social•10 days ago

oops, what @raemaenyc.bsky.social said

kevin2170.bsky.social•10 days ago

I would like them to openly attack the network as partisan trash whenever they’re on but I’ll take what I can get

synchropation.com•10 days ago

Exactly, republicans are coming on to news outlets to create viral or clippable sound bytes. Democrats need to do the same and get into places like Fox and make easy quick digestible chunks of messaging like this. Ignore the questions really and truly republicans don’t answer anyway.

printersflower.bsky.social•10 days ago

Fox News = Father Charles Coughlin's radio program, but for illegal immigrants

momodeckdeck.bsky.social•10 days ago

🔥
The anchor looked befuddled.

greyghost11.bsky.social•10 days ago

Keep pounding town halls. Keep pushing these messages on SM like TikTok. Get on Fox and put those hosts in their place. Call out every lie

tedweinstein.bsky.social•10 days ago

On citizen level, mobilization groups need to set-up lists for letter writing/calling parties NOW, so we can send messages to Republican voters in Red states/districts: "Trump/Musk are destroying YOUR Social Security right now - here is your Sen/Rep's contact info"

artfuldecorum.bsky.social•10 days ago

Probably feeling confident enough in “Demographics are destiny” to retreat into bubbles where they can mock and ridicule the pathetic rubes who would permanently lose power very soon.

Go on Fox and keep it simple: billionaires (who run everything) are raking in billions of government funds while cutting your healthcare/retirement.

mayhem1994.bsky.social•10 days ago

They already pander to Fox News viewers on every channel. I don’t think Fox News you just wanna hear any anything they have to say though.

theeggone.bsky.social•10 days ago

This is the kind of combativeness and message discipline that I want to see from all Democrats whenever they speak to ANY media outlets, i.e. not just FOX, but ABC, CNN, NBC, NPR, etc.

tweettweetmfkr.bsky.social•10 days ago

Craziest thing about Fox is most of us just accept it’s the way it is. The largest media outlet on tv…

pbcf.bsky.social•10 days ago

The profoundly stupid people accept it.

boatlife64.bsky.social•10 days ago

Have Caser and Buttigieg deliver a Masterclass in combating propaganda TV.

outerspacewaysinc.bsky.social•10 days ago

He represents Austin well!!

danielsomers.bsky.social•10 days ago

It'll be interesting to see if he gets invited back. Let's hope so.

mute-speaker.bsky.social•10 days ago

He carried himself well, stated facts without any antagonism toward the anchor or channel, & was polite - I think he did everything he could with what he had for what it's worth 👍

pedro-orange.bsky.social•10 days ago

Don’t let them get a word in, that’s the secret. Stay on message. Salient points made.

4legsrgood.bsky.social•10 days ago

Exhibit A for all these guys is Buttigieg who really mastered this.

americanwoman54.bsky.social•10 days ago

You beat me to this! 🎯

mute-speaker.bsky.social•10 days ago

💯 👍 He's been (or was?) doing it for a good while I believe - not sure if he still does? Barely seen his name mentioned at all recently which is odd, not sure what he's up to currently? 🤔

ravenna321.bsky.social•9 days ago

Yes, more strong and forceful Dems on Fox, speak plainly to MAGA voters who are maybe not so happy with what came attached to their demand for lower egg prices

pthibodeau.bsky.social•10 days ago

Occupy Fox!
