HEY, YOU KNOW HOW EVERYONE WHO SPENDS ANY AMOUNT OF TIME IN CONSERVATIVE SPACES IS *SCREAMING* AT DEMOCRATS TO PUBLICIZE THE FUCKING THREAT TO DEMOCRACY, AND MAKE IT A CENTRAL POINT OF THEIR MESSAGING?

THIS IS WHY

AND WHEN THE REPUBLICANS SIMPLY REFUSE TO CERTIFY THE NEXT DEMOCRATIC VICTORY, IT’S GONNA BE A LOT HARDER TO RESIST IN THE STREETS IF VOTERS ARE STUNNED THAT IT HAPPENED.

BY THE WAY, DO YOU THINK IT’S AN ELECTORAL ADVANTAGE FOR REPUBLICANS THAT THEIR VOTERS ARE CONSTANTLY CONVINCED A COMMUNIST TAKEOVER IS IMMINENT AND ONLY VOTING FOR REPUBLICANS CAN STOP IT???

I fucking do! It’s a pile of ridiculous lies but an EFFECTIVE pile of lies.

SO WHY THE FUCK NOT PUBLICIZE THE REPUBLICAN THREAT TO DEMOCRACY JUST AS FUCKING HARD? THAT’S AN ACTUAL REAL THING. HOLY FUCK!!

TELL THE TRUTH! REAP THE REWARDS! IT ISN’T HARD!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

“But Origins,” you say, “what does that mean?”

Air ads during live fucking sportsball games that talk about it.

Give Oval Office addresses that talk about it. Addresses, plural.

Tell everyone what the stakes are on TV, radio, the internet.

Fuckin’ *publicize it.* Just that!

And *explicitly warn the voters* what is coming in 2024, and that they both have to vote — so that we DO actually win the election — and get ready to defend their rights with mass protests if we win and the GOP tries another coup.

Not that anyone will listen to me; I’m a rando.

But I know there are more sophisticated voices raising the same chorus, like @RachelBitecofer.
