Could care less.
They are happy to be disrupters.

I fear this will come to armed conflict.

Picture an armed liberal. They run, eat healthy and are in shape.
Picture the typical Reb. Can they even run?

Please. Let's not play this game!

People on Twitter can foreward it to people they know, but chances are that their friends are politically similar to them. They can include people they know who are less actively aware of politics and issues. They can also send it to people they know who are Republican, even Trump supporters and ask why Republicans support people like Trump and like the Congress members who align themselves with Trump.

A few years back, the neo fascists were gaining ground in France. Marine la Pen was the RWer who ran against Macron. Activist spreading of messages about neo fascism helped defeat Le Pen. Granted, the French had past experience with fascists, but it shows that spreading the word can help.

Also, we need to build up Biden in the public mind because people don't look to the alternative when they are happy with what they have. We need to be not only against fascists, but strongly for things that benefit people and make sure that they know it.

... with the ultra-liberal communist autocrats. In the end it doesn't really matter, they're just autocrats. And we are the losers. How many Americans actually GET that? It's a very important point that gets lost in the chatter.

"It Can't Happen Here" - Sinclair Lewis

Buy that book, many copies of it and give to your kids, to your friends. Sinclair Lewis saw a dangerous imbecile like trump in 1935, while everyone said "It Can't Happen Here", and that is what people say everywhere where the symptoms that we have in the USA start to appear, everyone in denial, everyone thinking it can only happen in other countries, and then it happens and people do not know what to do...That is exactly what happened in Venezuela, look at that country now.

scare tactics for years, even decades, to keep their base in line. Barry Goldwater's mushroom cloud ad comes to mind. This ad speaks to the conservative base in a language they understand.
