One way to help your cause: only focus on things that can move the needle. If Trump has ten scandals, but only three of them have a chance of getting anyone to change how they'll vote, only focus on those three. If you're talking about the other seven, you're talking to yourself.
If you're not sure which of Trump's scandals is going to move the needle, it's fine to cover your bases. But if you know for sure that a certain anti-Trump talking point is only going to resonate with those who are already 100% voting against him, you're wasting time.
Bottom line: do you want to just spend your time reassuring yourself about how much Trump sucks, or do you want to focus on things that can help you defeat him? Literally the only way to defeat him is to change the minds of voters whose minds are changeable.
You're wasting your time if you're fighting with Trump's most rabid supporters. They're not changing their vote. Sparring with them all day might allow you to "defeat" them on the internet, but it won't defeat Trump in the election.
Three groups of people you should focus on:
1) Those you can shift from a Trump vote, to staying home.
2) Those you can shift from staying home, to voting Democrat.
3) Those you can shift from voting third party / protest vote, to voting Democrat.

There's also an argument for trying to get a single Trump fan to switch to our side, because that person may then be in position to go back and convince other Trump fans to do the same.
But you'll only have a chance at flipping Trump's most tepid supporters, not his rabid base.

If you're reading this and saying "but I don't know anyone whose vote can be changed," that's a red flag. It means you're only talking to rabid anti-Trump and/or rabid pro-Trump people.
Broaden your approach. Talk to people outside the two bases. They vote too, when influenced.

Different story if you’re trying to raise awareness on a crucial issue because you want to create enough public pressure to force an immediate change on that issue. The Trump regime routinely does quietly back off (or partially back off) on some things due to public pressure.
But keep in mind we get to shut down ALL of Trump’s crap if we vote him out. So let’s focus on his specific scandals that’ll actually change votes, and use them to get him out of office – at which point we’ll win in every one of his scandals.
