16. Pick Three Pithy Phrases And Hammer Them

I really think that a "Billionaires Are Not Your Friends" message could take off. No one likes a bunch of Tech Bros and disgustingly rich people buying their way to power. Elon is not a popular guy with many people. How the hell is this illegal immigrant allowed to decide what our government looks like? If we highlight the massive corruption we're going to see, I think that would appall a lot of people. It's a message that could encompass how affordable housing is being bought up by the rich, how the law treats the rich differently, how they don't pay their fair share of taxes, and what we could have if they did pay their fair share, etc. It's a message young people would understand about how their lives are impacted by the greed of elites.

Since Trump was re-elected, I've been watching (mostly to see what to do with my retirement money) whether Trump is going to go full-on dictator or what. I think it is likely he is entirely in it for money. He'll let Israel flatten Gaza so he can build Trump Gaza, he'll privatize services and get a kick-back or favors, he'll give government contracts to his buddies, etc. It's going to be a crap-show of greed and I think leaning in heavily on that message could really resonate with voters going forward.
