If Dems did as Rs do and met every new GOP outrage with unified, relentless denunciation, the media would have no choice *but* to cover it. It would saturate the media narrative for days & put Rs on the defensive.

A running thread of missed opportunities:
Republicans understand the importance of coordinated, vigorous campaigns to shape the media narrative. Dems just don’t. So *of course* the media will tend to overlook GOP fascism, amplify GOP talking points, and criticize Dems over nonsense.
Politics is not just about policy. It’s also about winning the daily media narrative. Unless and until Dems figure this out and start projecting dominance, they’ll keep getting hosed in the messaging war and look impotent in the public mind.
Nothing less than democracy’s survival is at stake. Here’s hoping Dems wake up to this neglected imperative.
