Dem messaging right now should be this, loud and clear:
"The GOP would rather shut down the government than let the American people have affordable healthcare."
On repeat and everywhere.

This administration actively and purposefully disenfranchises smaller communities.

I know we are βused to itβ but it is absolutely insane
Today, Trump declared war on his own citizens, calling for U.S. cities to be used as βtraining groundsβ for troops to confront what he called an βinvasion from within.β Americans are a proud people, and no one (foreign or domestic) will threaten our home.

The right makes it easyβ¦
They hand people a scapegoat (migrants) and promise to make them disappear
Our govt could do the same
They could name the real culprits behind stagnant wages, unaffordable housing, and soaring bills
But they wonβt
Because they havenβt got the balls.

Is Appalachia reliably red? Youβd think so. But, history would beg to differ. FDR New Deal policies gave rural communities opportunities that were wildly popular at the time and forever changed the region. Youβd be surprised how far you get reminding folks whoβs actually helped the working class
