Biden needs to understand the GOP plan moving forward is crystal clear:
-commander his appointments
-pass no legislation at all
-cripple the economy with no stimulus
-shred voting rights with SCOTUS
-gerrymander
-blow out 2022 midterms
-lock in permanent minority rule
-win 2024
Everything that goes wrong from here on out will be blamed on Democrats. The Democrats only have a few tools here: the executive, a massive, majoritarian coalition, and a GOP split over Trump, with none of Trump's ability to produce turnout waves in presidential elections.
Biden needs to go on the all-out offense in every possible way. He can't rest on his laurels or call for national healing, because it's trivially easy for the GOP will use any reprieve to transform him into Jimmy Carter 2.0 and a far-right restoration in four years.
Step one is to understand that Trump lagged the downballot GOP in Georgia, and tar Perdue and Loeffler with Trumpism, in the hope you can take the Senate in the coming specials. Step two is to not let McConnell control your admin. Advice and consent is dead, Trump killed it.
The courts are your mortal enemy, even more than McConnell. It's no exaggeration to say that they could accomplish more far-right agenda items in your four-year term than Trump accomplished in his.

We’ve spent eight years waiting for the political elite in this country to wake up to the fact that Trump is a true authoritarian threat who must be confronted directly before he destroys the foundations of constitutional government and here we are, still waiting
He’s a liar, a thug, a demagogue, and he wants to be a tyrant. You have to fight people like that DIRECTLY: you say what they are, you put them in jail, you keep them out of politics, you resist them with whatever it takes. You don’t rely on them losing a policy debate
The bizarre bankshot approach favored by the American political class has always failed: “Instead of saying what Trump is - instead of saying he’s anathema to American republican government - we’ll tiptoe around it, and say his economic policies are bad”

every single day false memes suggesting biden is senile get pushed out by the RNC, are instantly shared across half a dozen national news outlets, are repeated by through hundreds of sinclair outlets, and get hundreds of millions of social views

dems: "why is biden unpopular??"
the other side has built an enormous, nation-spanning propaganda network, where everywhere you turn you see people presenting far-right ideology and anti-Democratic propaganda as truth. Dems have ALMOST COMPLETELY IGNORED this, because they figure their policy is more popular
right-wing ideas are not just everywhere. they are presented in a context that makes them seem like the consensus truth. people aren't seeing "biden is senile" in ads, which they know not to trust - they're seeing it in news headlines, in memes their friends are sharing.

Two days ago, a Nazi account posted one of the most racist things I’ve ever seen, using my name. I have a record of it but it’s indecent to share so I’ll try to describe it instead.
It started out with a swastika and a voiceover: “This message is endorsed by Will Stancil.” And then: “KILL ALL N____S.” Then it played a song describing in detail all the ways “n____s” should be killed. Behind it was real footage of black toddlers and children being massacred.
This was tweeted at a black man who had a viral anti-Trump tweet. Superimposed on top of the video was the real address of the black man.

You call for Trump to step down because you have a winning argument that it’s totally inappropriate for a party to nominate a guy who received 34 felony convictions five months before the election. Half of Americans already agree! Force the GOP to defend him.
He’s not actually going to step down (although it wouldn’t be good for Republicans to lose their cult leader to scandal right before the election). But Democrats are half the political system, they have to make the argument he shouldn’t be in the race, or no one will.
The way you get the news to cover something is to create conflict. You can create conflict over this. Just calling him a felon isn’t creating conflict. It’s good but it won’t generate any additional coverage.

Trump would get a huge boost, not because anyone cares about "cumulative inflation," but because the massive far-right and far-left hysterical freakout about how prices "feel" too high would instantly cease the moment he won
People do not actually have a detailed registry of price increases over time in their heads, they are just continually told that prices are too high (often with fake or exaggerated numbers) by their social media feeds, by the TV, by newspapers. If that stops no one will care
"But Will! You're making it sound like inflation panic is like the caravan panic or the ebola panic! Surely inflation is more fundamental somehow! Surely people's brains work differently when ECONOMICS is involved!"

No. It is exactly like the caravan panic or ebola panic.

ONE MORE TIME:
-your impression of the US economy is mostly formed from your information diet, because we do not directly experience things like the unemployment rate
-if we DID directly experience those things, public opinion would reflect measurable trends, and it doesn't
-most sources of information have been very negative about the US economy even while most measurable trends have been fine to great
-this includes mainstream media, partisan media, and social media
-most information people have about the outside world comes from these sources
-the negativity comes from different places
-social media has a negativity bias because negativity goes viral
-mainstream media has a negativity bias because it relies heavily on social shares, and negativity goes viral
-many partisans just want to hurt Biden
