Brilliant piece Kevin. What I immediately found myself thinking was “how can I use this on the folks who believe in MAGA “. Questions!! “Why did the Republicans take out funding for 9/11 responders from the recent bill?” “. Why did the Republicans take out research funding for Childhood Cancers from the recent Bill?” I don’t need to argue the point, just plant the seed and refer to a middle of the road article (USA Today) if needed.
The Question game is perfect because it puts the onus on the person who voted for those cuts to explain the situation.
I’ve recently been spending time with someone who is a Republican and a FOX person and it’s exactly as you describe, they get off from work and sit down and turn on FOX and the drip drip drip of misinformation seeps in.
This individual is literally one of the nicest people I’ve ever met but are totally unaware of the brain washing. When I ask those questions in a completely innocent way, they clearly become thoughtful and a little bit saddened that the party they voted for actually did that. I never belabor the point, just express sadness about those who need help are not getting it.
I’m also upset that the media isn’t chasing every single politician who voted to remove those items from the Bill down the hallways and making them answer the “Questions”.
Thank you Jen! Appreciate the read and the response. I'm working on the followup to answer that question and should have it out in the next couple of days.
Regarding the "nice MAGA", I get it. We tend to think of MAGA as a bunch of trolls because, let's face it, there's a crap ton of those folks out in the wild. However, there are far more people who have absolutely no concept that their beliefs are not really their own, but plants by someone else with a hidden agenda.
Regarding the media, they're chasing the money: "If it bleeds, it ledes" (or is it "leads"? I never know.) So let's capture the narrative. I'll explain how shortly.
Thank you and welcome to Rage! It wasn't that the message didn't get out, the messaging was solid. It just got Gish Gallup'd by sound bites from the other side. "Woke agenda", "killing babies", "eating the dawgs", that stuff. This is how we need to frame messaging, in short, kindergarten level, phrases. For example: "Trump Lies".

They're about to find out what WE can do.
Thank you for the explanation.
This issue has been hurting my brain for 9 years. WHY would anyone BELIEVE this made up crap? Same with SCOTUS:
Alito referenced a WITCH TRIAL JUDGE, Sir Matthew Hale, from 400 YEARS AGO to overturn Roe v Wade. Also made up,
"The right for a woman to have an abortion is not in the Constitution." Constitution DOES NOT PROHIBIT women from having an abortion 😠
Girls/women have been DYING for over 2 YEARS without access to GYN Doctors.😢
66,615 Pregnant rape victims do not have access to GYN Doctors😡
(JAMA - JOURNAL OF AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION )
No one gives a damn.
What is with, "There is nothing we can do..?"
