8. That's what Dems have been doing.

"Remember not to repeat false conservative claims and then rebut them with the facts. Instead, go positive. Give a positive truthful framing to undermine claims to the contrary. Use the facts to support positively-framed truth. Use repetition."

Joe Biden has been doing that since taking office and Kamala Harris has taken up the baton.

You can't rebut a claim without repeating the claim. And even with facts, Trump/MAGA continue to push the lies. Haitians eating cats for instance. The Ohio governor and the city Mayor have 'rebutted' the claim but it's still a propaganda point. The 2020 election was not rigged, Trump lost, the facts confirm it but the big lie continues. The economy is strong, stock market is at an all time high, inflation was a result of supply-demand imbalance, is world wide and Trump continues to blame it on Biden. And they come up with new propaganda bullsh*t faster than it can be refuted.

We're dealing with a man and a movement that doesn't care about the laws, doesn't care about the Constitution and doesn't care about norms and institutions (Rick Wilson quote), has no qualms with violence or threats of violence. Cohn's 3 rules revealed were not necessary to know how Trump's mind works. He has a Hitlerian mentality and is fighting for his freedom, not ours. Civility works only when both sides are civil.

Some way, some how, the Dems have got to get offensive.
