American leftists need to adopt their communication strategy. It doesn’t work to have educated people lecture the anti intellectuals. They don’t want to hear it and they’ll have a knee jerk reaction against it. Study, learn and use their own preferred methods instead. Stickers, simple slogans, rants, fucking flags on oversized wankmobiles if you’ve got one. Whenever there is a direct consequence of the Trump administration, shout it immediately from the rooftops until people get it. Only talking about it years later at the next election will do nothing because it is already pushed away by the propaganda feed. Use their method of communication but keep it factual and don’t stoop down to their hatred and lies. It’s not about taunting, it’s about informing the uninformed and leading them out of the bubble.
Price hikes? Thanks MAGA. Deportations of integrated citizens? Thanks MAGA. No more social security? Thanks MAGA. Leopards chewing on your face? WELL FUCKING THANKS FOR VOTING FOR THE LEOPARDS EATING PEOPLE’S FACES PARTY!
I don’t honestly think that would work. They’ve been conditioned to take comfort in not knowing things. I’ve seen the thought process unfold in front of me hundreds of times: “If a republican did it, it was a good thing and part of the plan, even if I don’t understand how yet.” It’s exactly the same thought process that they employ for their religion: “God is good and does good things, even though terrible things happen to people all the time that God must have allowed if he exists, there’s always a plan, even if we don’t know it.”

I made these to help us get the message out.
