In reality, they are the revolutionaries seeking to change the governmental system and substituting politics for religion (The Trump Cult).

Popular Post Starkiller Posted August 9, 2020 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 (edited) Obviously the Republican Party messaging has to be that Democrats are socialists trying to tear down society. It’s their only chance. And in return, Democrats need to counter with all the insane shit Trump (and the GOP) have been doing. Secret police assaulting peaceful protesters. Covid response. Massive tax cuts for the wealthy. Corporate handouts. Trump lining his pockets along with plenty of other corruption in the party. Blackmailing Ukraine for political favors. Allowing Russia to arm and fund the killing of American troops. Stabbing our allies in the back. Concentration camps. Constant lies. And whatever else they want to add to the list.

It'll be about the power of propaganda and voter suppression. The only ones for Trump are those that consume mostly propaganda. Most people don't pay that close attention which is why most aren't deeply rooted in the propaganda. It'll depend on if Trumps dirty voter suppression tactics are enough to swing it.

They will try to paint Biden as “unelectable” (as if that means anything in the Trump era), the same as they did to Hillary. Try to drive down pro-Biden/anti-Trump voter turnout. I don’t think it will work this time, of course, but that’s their best bet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wins, it will only be because he managed to steal it. The groundswell of voters against Trump is historically massive.

Not really..... Trump's base is not very big and they are not Republicans, they are Trumpers.
