Authoritarians have ONE story: we're fomenting counter revolution (against a revolution that never occurred) to take back our country from "those people" who don't threaten/destroy/undermine it. When you feed that story, you help the authoritarians.

Once again, reactionary centrist advice boils down to "don't make the argument," - at best. Often it's pile onto the argument the opposition makes it politer terms.
Politics 101: Run against your opposition not the people your opposition shames/blames/scapegoats.

Yes. And...Dems failed to codify Roe, pass Freedom to Vote Act, prosecute Trump swiftly, when they had trifecta bc of attachment to tradition (filibuster) & decorum. You can't tell voters "THREAT THREAT THREAT" & not confront it.

Key difference between Harris & not Harris voter (Trump, stay home, 3rd party) wasn't approval of Project 2025 agenda, it was whether they believed it would actually come true.

Seems to me Roe fell, all this anti-voter shit happened, life got harder on Dems' watch. Now you're telling us same thing again?
