Like others here I am less concerned about Trump the Figurehead than about the legions of lazy-brained supporters of their totem who himself is being manipulated by the dark force control freaks of the radical right wing. Seems to me that the Dems need to deal in stark, very stark contrasts and comparisons in their messaging. The Lincoln Project has leaned some in that direction, but the Biden campaign needs amp up the differences: Joe, the family man who's done things for ordinary Americans compared to Trump, a prodigal who's wife has been repeatedly humiliated. Joe and Kamala, reflecting more accurately the diversity in America, and Trump and Whoever, tools of the oligarchic wrecking crew that has been "grooming" the country into loving a neo-feudal system. Joe, who knew how to deal with a pandemic and its aftermath and who himself didn't get Covid contrasted with the hospitalized Trump who had nothing to offer except sappy happy talk and misinformation as tens of thousands died every day and millions lost their jobs. And on and on. Double-screen it all on TV every day. And finally, use the current studies showing not only the efficacy of the Covid vaccine but the prospects of a vaccine against melanoma cancer and possibly other cancers as a salvo against JFKjr.
