For example, I found this on Tumblr, and I think it’s a good method.
Keep your messaging simple:
“Trump fired everyone in charge of airplane safety, and a week later planes started crashing into each other.”
That’s it. That’s the messaging. Don’t get bogged down disputing Trump’s false claims. Just blame him, in short, repeatable sentences.
Addendum from user queercalculus:
- Trump removed bird safety regulations in his first term and now bird flu is killing so many laying hens that eggs are $5 a carton
- Trump removed food safety standards his first term and now we have recalls every few weeks
- Trump cut the subsidies for the solar farms under construction so now electricity costs more
- Trump disbanded the pandemic response team and we now we have bird flu and tuberculosis outbreaks
(Eggs were $5 a carton when queercalculus wrote this? Ah, simpler times. Up here in northern New England, eggs are going for about $8 a carton.)
Also, can someone answer something for me? Why is RFK Jr. so fugly? I’ve seen pictures of his father and uncle, and they were handsome. Is that just the cumulative effects of being a grifter and having a worm eat part of your brain?
Actually, I have a theory about that worm. I think it was RFK Sr.’s spirit going in and saying, “Goddamn it, must kill the son before he disgraces the family name… Oh, fuck.”
