you have to do the thing then you have to repeatedly say "i did the thing, wasn't it great that i did the thing? the thing you like? i did that. they didn't want to do it, but look at me, im so great i did it and your family is better off." which feels redundant but is necessary

the secret sauce is to do progressive things that people like then incessantly crow about it like trump. this is a bridge too far for more people than i would have once assumed.
eg "Look at all those Republicans who voted against infrastructure. They just wanted to let your family fall into a river. But we Democrats passed it. We repaired the bridges, so your family doesn't drown in a river. You're welcome, enjoy your bridges!"
this is what i mean when i say even trump has stuff democrats/liberals can steal from. it doesnt mean letting covid spread or talking about nuking hurricanes. but if even the worst person demonstrates an effective tactic, nothing wrong with stealing it.
right now the overwhelming tactic is to either assume people will just know democrats are repairing the bridges or to give the minority of republicans who voted for the infrastructure some credit for a "bipartisan" bill, assuming voters will give dems credit for that.
