(22,645 posts)Seems to me that the electorate right now is mostly driven by backlash, at least that's what the last three presidential elections have been about. So note the following items as they were on election day 2024:
Inflation
Unemployment
Gas prices
Food prices
Interest rates
DJIA
Illegal border crossings
etc.
When any of them move in the wrong direction, ask why Trump hasn't fixed it yet. Complain that he promised everything and is delivering nothing. Point out that this is what happens when you elect a convicted fraudster. Ask whether all the money is going into Elon Musk's pocket.
And don't worry about being asked, well, what's YOUR plan to fix this? -- it's just been proven that plans don't matter. All you have to do is keep saying over and over again that Trump can't fix it and Democrats will. Just keep hammering that home, relentlessly. Promises made, promises broken. Were things really so bad, when you had a job, and health care, and the price of a new car wasn't $90,000?
If you want to add a twist, go with DEMENTIA PRESIDENT. Of course Trump can't fix America's problems -- the guy is clearly losing it. He's incompetent and bumbling, physically unwell, mentally unravelling. It's clear for everyone to see. We never should have elected someone who is almost 80 years old.
Trump promised to make America great again, but it turned out that THEY were keeping his condition from us. And now he's ruined everything. Better vote for Democrats so we can fix things again...
