Trump is a bad guy. But the bottom line is that everyone knows that he’s a bad guy and most people don’t care about it. Is that bananas? Yep! But is it true? Also yep! Any attempt at trying to convince people that Trump is a bad guy is wasted breath. But– good news– he has three weaknesses:
Republicans think of abortion as murdering babies. Ask yourself an honest question: do you think Republicans will “leave it to the states” to decide whether or not murder should be legal? If Donald Trump is elected, Republicans will push and potentially succeed in a nationwide abortion ban.
During his first term, Donald Trump and congressional Republicans tried to take health care away from millions of working families to give tax breaks to the rich. It failed because three Republicans voted with the Democrats. If Donald Trump has a Republican congress, he will try to do this again.
January 6 was a violent day: Donald Trump told supporters to storm the Capitol. Police officers were beaten with American flags. People died. Donald Trump has continually called for more violence. He & many Republicans- including his running mate- have said that he did not lose the 2020 election
If you’d like to help Kamala Harris win, focus on those three things. Put aside that Trump’s a bad guy and the outrage about his immigration policies. Avoid talking about inflation. Pretend like you don’t know who Joe Biden is. This is going to be close. We must be strategic on how we talk about it.
If you–like me– would like to see Kamala Harris win, we should do a better job of focusing on the issues that are good for her!
Slow Horses, Season 4: this is a show firing on every cylinder– the difficulty of grounding this twisty of a plot in its characters is off the charts. Very excited this has already been picked up for two more seasons
Trip: Eastern Shore
Wolfs: This was a totally fine movie.
If we would like for our adult-focused movies to be better than fine, we need to pay multiple American dollars to watch movies that are better than fine.
