The answer is staring us right in the face.
It’s a catchy slogan and pulling tens of thousands even in deep red MAGA country.

- m_fayer 1y ago"Extraordinary danger"? "Fighting the oligarchy"? Those can certainly pull tens of thousands of people to the street. But I'm not so sure it's enough to win. See what I said above - materialistic, amoral. I'm afraid that the rallying cry we need must contain an answer to "what's in it for me?" to be a winner.
- bigbadfeline 1y ago"Fighting the oligarchy" is the new slogan. "Fighting the deep state" and "Draining the swamp" are the old ones. I see no reason to believe that any of these is more truthful than the others, it's just tail chasing from both ends.
